“…These genes were therefore analyzed at 0.5, 3, and 24 h post‐loading in bioengineered mouse muscle to enable a direct comparison with humans after acute RE. First, the majority of these genes predominantly increased at 3 h post‐loading and returned to basal levels at 24 h. This temporal gene regulatory profile has been observed several times in response to exercise in vivo in which gene expression tends to peak at 3–8 h post‐exercise (Barrès et al, 2012; Chen et al, 2002; Drummond et al, 2008; Knuiman et al, 2018; Kuang et al, 2020) and generally returns to basal levels within 24 h (Egan & Zierath, 2012; Liu et al, 2010; Yang et al, 2005). When comparing the changes in gene expression at 3 h with the human transcriptome data, 83% of these genes (MSN, CTTN, FLNB, TIMP3, ITGB3, LAMA5, COL4A1, CRK, CD63, GSK3β, SMAD3, WNT9A, ITPR, STAT3, RARA, F2LR3, KDR, DOT1L) showed no significant difference in expression between loaded mouse bioengineered muscle and human muscle after acute RE.…”
