This study investigated whether muscle contraction induces expression of regulated in development and DNA damage 1 (REDD1), a potent inhibitor of mTORC1, in mice muscle. Gastrocnemius muscle was unilaterally and isometrically contracted with electrical stimulation, and changes in muscle protein synthesis, mTORC1 signaling phosphorylation, and REDD1 protein, and mRNA were measured at time points of 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after the contraction. At time point 0 and 3 h, muscle protein synthesis was blunted by the contraction, accompanied by a decrease in phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 at time point 0 h, suggesting suppression of mTORC1 was involved in blunting of muscle protein synthesis during and shortly after the contraction. REDD1 protein was not increased in the contracted muscle at these time points, but at time point 3 h, both REDD1 protein and mRNA were increased in the contralateral non-contracted muscle. The induction of REDD1 expression in the non-contracted muscle was attenuated by RU-486, an antagonist of the glucocorticoid receptor, suggesting that glucocorticoids are involved in this process. These findings suggest that muscle contraction induces temporal anabolic resistance in non-contracted muscle, potentially increasing the availability of amino acids for contracted muscle, allowing for the synthesis of muscle protein.
