Skeletal muscle cell has numerous nucleus within a cell. The nucleus has been considered as the central organelle for muscle protein synthesis. However, it is unclear whether myonuclear number associate with the MPS capacity within the individual muscle fibre. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to reveal the relationship between myonuclear number per unit muscle fibre length and MPS under basal and conditions of elevated MPS by high-intensity muscle contraction (HiMC) using in vivo nascent protein labelling technique (SUnSET) in rodent. As the result, myonuclear number positively correlate to the MPS in individual muscle fibre at the basal condition. Similarly, ribosomal protein S6 (rpS6) content, which is a rough estimate of ribosome content, was positively correlated with MPS. However, myonuclear number was not associated with rpS6 content. In contrast to the basal condition, where MPS was increased by acute HiMC, no correlation was observed between myonuclear number and MPS, but the association between rpS6 and MPS was maintained. Importantly, these observations indicate that the number of nuclei in individual myofibers is related only to the MPS at rest. However, the ribosome content in individual fibres is related to the MPS of individual myofibers both at rest and in the elevated MPS, due to HiMC.
