Role of alpha- and beta-adrenoreceptors in rat monocyte/macrophage function at rest and acute exercise.

Abstract：

:Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that a single bout of moderate exercise stimulates macrophage function, increasing phagocytic capacity, and production of hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide (NO˙) through nuclear factor kappa B activation. In this work, we investigated the role of α- and β-adrenoreceptors on the function of monocyte/macrophages during rest and exercise. Adult male Wistar rats were i.p. administered (100 μL/100 g) with specific adrenergic antagonists before an acute moderate exercise bout: prazosin (α1-specific antagonist 2 mg/kg), propranolol (unspecific β1/β2 antagonist 10 mg/kg), double blockade (α1 and β1/β2), or phosphate-buffered saline (control). Acute exercise consisted in a single swimming session of moderate intensity (5% body weight overload on the chest) for 60 min. Control groups (rest) received the same antagonists and were killed 60 min after drug administration. Exercise increased phagocytic capacity (1.7-fold, p < 0.05), NO˙ production (5.24 fold, p < 0.001), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) expression (by 58.1%), thus suggesting macrophage activation. The β-adrenoreceptor blockade did not change this behavior. In resting animals, α1 antagonist, as well as the double (α1/β) blockade, however, further increased phagocytic capacity (by up to 261%, p < 0.001), NO˙ production (by up to 328%, p < 0.001), and the expressions of NOS2 (by 182%, p < 0.001) and HSP70 (by 42.5%, p < 0.01) suggesting a tonic inhibitory effect of α1 stimulation on macrophage activation. In exercised animals, α1-blockade showed similar enhancing effect on phagocytic indices and expressions of NOS and HSP70, particularly in double-blocked groups, although NO˙ production was found to be reduced in exercised animals submitted to both α- and β-blockade. Redox (glutathione) status and lipoperoxidation were evaluated in all test groups and approximately paralleled macrophage NO˙ production. We suggest the prevalence of a peripheral α1-adrenoreceptor inhibitory tonus that limits macrophage responsiveness but operates differently after physical exercise.
