Abstract

Objective To study the effects of aerobic exercise on the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins in the kidney of spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHRs),and to explore the effects of aerobic exercise for hypertensive renal damage in SHRs. Methods Eight-week-old male SHRs and Wistar Kyoto rats(WKYs) were randomly divided into four groups(n=6 in each group): control group(WKY),non-exercise hypertension group(SHR-N),low-intensity aerobic exercise hypertension group(SHR-L),and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise hypertension group(SHR-M). The rats in the SHR-L and SHR-M groups were subjected to running on a sports treadmill at a slope of 0° at 12-14 m/min and 18-20 m/min for 60 min,respectively,for 5 times per week. The WKY and SHR-N groups had no exercise intervention. After 10 weeks,72 hours after exercise,we measured the blood pressure of rats;measured serum creatinine(Cr),urea nitrogen(BUN),interleukin(IL)-1β,and IL-18;observed the pathological changes in the kidney with Masson staining,and calculated the renal function index(RFI) to reflect the severity of renal function impairment;and measured the protein expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3),cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase 1(caspase-1),cleaved caspase-1,toll-like receptor 4(TLR4),IL-1β,IL-18,gasdermin D(GSDMD),and GSDMDC1 in the renal tissue of rats. Results Compared with the WKY group,the SHR-N group showed significant increases in blood pressure,serum Cr,BUN,IL-1β,and IL-18 levels,and RFI,as well as the expression of NLRP3,caspase-1,TLR4,IL-1β,IL-18,GSDMD,and GSDMDC1 in the kidney. Compared with the SHR-N group,the SHR-M group showed significantly decreased blood pressure,serum Cr and BUN,and RFI,as well as NLRP3,caspase-1,TLR4,IL-1β,IL-18,GSDMD,and GSDMDC1,while the SHR-L group had no significant reductions. Conclusion Different intensities of aerobic exercise produce varying degrees of effects on renal NLRP3 inflammasome expression,blood pressure,and renal function in SHRs. Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise is superior to low-intensity aerobic exercise in improving renal function in SHRs through the TLR4/NLRP3 signaling pathway.
