Hsp70 expression in human skeletal muscle after exercise.

Prolonged exercise of a sufficiently high intensity is thought to create physiological stress and to disturb cellular homeostasis, ultimately inducing cellular adaptations which enable the organism to better deal with any future exercise challenge. Heat shock proteins (hsp) are expressed when cells are exposed to different types of stress. In this study, we have investigated whether the expression of the heat inducible form of hsp70 is increased in human skeletal muscle cells after a single bout of exercise. Five untrained subjects performed an exercise bout at their individual anaerobic threshold for 30 min on a treadmill. Hsp70 mRNA concentration was significantly increased by a factor of four at 4 min post-exercise. Similarly high levels were also observed 30 min and 3 h after the end of exercise. Hsp70 protein concentration, on the contrary, did not change within 3 h after cessation of exercise. Thus, a single exercise bout in humans is able to increase the steady state concentration of hsp70 mRNA, but is probably not sufficient to have an effect on the already high basal level of its protein. The analysis of hsp70 mRNA is potentially useful as a method to detect stress in tissues with a high basal level of heat shock proteins.
