Physical Activity Status, But Not Age, Influences Inflammatory Biomarkers and Toll-Like Receptor 4

Physical Activity Status, But Not Age, Influences Inflammatory Biomarkers and Toll-Like Receptor 4 Background. Chronic inflammation has been implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, cachexia, and osteoporosis. Regular physical activity has been purported to possess “anti-inflammatory” properties which may limit chronic inflammation. Recently, we hypothesized that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) may play a role in activity-induced modulation of inflammation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the association between age, physical activity status, biomarkers of inflammation, and TLR4. Methods. Male and female participants ( n = 84) were recruited to fill one of the following groups: young (18–30 years), active; young, inactive; old (60–80 years), active; or old, inactive. To assess physical activity status, participants completed a Paffenbarger Physical Activity Questionnaire and a modified Balke submaximal treadmill test. After grouping and screening, participants were given a standard mixed diet to consume 24 hours prior to arriving at the laboratory. Participants were instructed to consume all food by 10 pm the night prior to blood sampling (8-hour fast). Following 30 minutes of seated rest in a quiet room, venous blood samples were collected. Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammatory cytokine production and plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and TLR4 expression was determined by flow cytometry. Results. Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α production, TLR4 expression, and hsCRP were significantly lower in active compared to inactive participants ( p <.05). Also, older participants had significantly higher hsCRP than young participants had ( p <.05). Conclusions. The findings of the present study support previous reports which infer that acute exercise or a physically active lifestyle may possess anti-inflammatory properties. Also this study, along with previous work from our laboratory, suggests that TLR4 may play a role in regulating the link between inflammatory cytokine production and a physically active lifestyle.

Abstract

Background. Chronic inflammation has been implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, cachexia, and osteoporosis. Regular physical activity has been purported to possess “anti-inflammatory” properties which may limit chronic inflammation. Recently, we hypothesized that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) may play a role in activity-induced modulation of inflammation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the association between age, physical activity status, biomarkers of inflammation, and TLR4. Methods. Male and female participants ( n = 84) were recruited to fill one of the following groups: young (18–30 years), active; young, inactive; old (60–80 years), active; or old, inactive. To assess physical activity status, participants completed a Paffenbarger Physical Activity Questionnaire and a modified Balke submaximal treadmill test. After grouping and screening, participants were given a standard mixed diet to consume 24 hours prior to arriving at the laboratory. Participants were instructed to consume all food by 10 pm the night prior to blood sampling (8-hour fast). Following 30 minutes of seated rest in a quiet room, venous blood samples were collected. Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammatory cytokine production and plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and TLR4 expression was determined by flow cytometry. Results. Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α production, TLR4 expression, and hsCRP were significantly lower in active compared to inactive participants ( p <.05). Also, older participants had significantly higher hsCRP than young participants had ( p <.05). Conclusions. The findings of the present study support previous reports which infer that acute exercise or a physically active lifestyle may possess anti-inflammatory properties. Also this study, along with previous work from our laboratory, suggests that TLR4 may play a role in regulating the link between inflammatory cytokine production and a physically active lifestyle.
