Time course and fibre type‐dependent nature of calcium‐handling protein responses to sprint interval exercise in human skeletal muscle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Sprint interval training (SIT) causes fragmentation of the skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channel, ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1), 24 h post‐exercise, potentially signalling mitochondrial biogenesis by increasing cytosolic [Ca2+]. Yet, the time course and skeletal muscle fibre type‐specific patterns of RyR1 fragmentation following a session of SIT remain unknown. Ten participants (n = 4 females; n = 6 males) performed a session of SIT (6 × 30 s ‘all‐out’ with 4.5 min rest after each sprint) with vastus lateralis muscle biopsy samples collected before and 3, 6 and 24 h after exercise. In whole muscle, full‐length RyR1 protein content was significantly reduced 6 h (mean (SD); −38 (38)%; P < 0.05) and 24 h post‐SIT (−30 (48)%; P < 0.05) compared to pre‐exercise. Examining each participant's largest response in pooled samples, full‐length RyR1 protein content was reduced in type II (−26 (30)%; P < 0.05) but not type I fibres (−11 (40)%; P > 0.05). Three hours post‐SIT, there was also a decrease in sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 1 in type II fibres (−23 (17)%; P < 0.05) and sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 2a in type I fibres (−19 (21)%; P < 0.05), despite no time effect for either protein in whole muscle samples (P > 0.05). PGC1A mRNA content was elevated 3 and 6 h post‐SIT (5.3‐ and 3.7‐fold change from pre, respectively; P < 0.05 for both), but peak PGC1A mRNA expression was not significantly correlated with peak RyR1 fragmentation (r2 = 0.10; P > 0.05). In summary, altered Ca2+‐handling protein expression, which occurs primarily in type II muscle fibres, may influence signals for mitochondrial biogenesis as early as 3–6 h post‐SIT in humans. Key points Sprint interval training (SIT) has been shown to cause fragmentation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium‐release channel, ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1), 24 h post‐exercise, which may act as a signal for mitochondrial biogenesis. In this study, the time course was examined of RyR1 fragmentation in human whole muscle and pooled type I and type II skeletal muscle fibres following a single session of SIT. Full‐length RyR1 protein content was significantly lower than pre‐exercise by 6 h post‐SIT in whole muscle, and fragmentation was detectable in type II but not type I fibres, though to a lesser extent than in whole muscle. The peak in PGC1A mRNA expression occurred earlier than RyR1 fragmentation. The increased temporal resolution and fibre type‐specific responses for RyR1 fragmentation provide insights into its importance to mitochondrial biogenesis in humans.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
