Statin treatment and exercise training can reduce markers of inflammation when administered separately. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of rosuvastatin treatment and the addition of exercise training on circulating markers of inflammation including C-reactive protein (CRP), monocyte toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression, and CD14+CD16+ monocyte population size. Thirty-three hypercholesterolemic and physically inactive subjects were randomly assigned to rosuvastatin (R) or rosuvastatin/exercise (RE) groups. A third group of physically active hypercholesterolemic subjects served as a control (AC). The R and RE groups received rosuvastatin treatment (10 mg/d) for 20 weeks. From week 10 to week 20, the RE group also participated in an exercise training program (3d/wk). Measurements were made at baseline (Pre), week 10 (Mid), and week 20 (Post), and included TLR4 expression on CD14+ monocytes and CD14+CD16+ monocyte population size as determined by 3-color flow cytometry. Serum CRP was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. TLR4 expression on CD14+ monocytes was higher in the R group at week 20. When treatment groups (R and RE) were combined, serum CRP was lower across time. Furthermore, serum CRP and inflammatory monocyte population size were lower in the RE group compared with the R group at the Post time point. When all groups (R, RE, and AC) were combined, TLR4 expression was greater on inflammatory monocytes (CD14+CD16+) compared with classic monocytes (CD14+CD16⁻) at all time points. In conclusion, rosuvastatin may influence monocyte inflammatory response by increasing TLR4 expression on circulating monocytes. The addition of exercise training to rosuvastatin treatment further lowered CRP and reduced the size of the inflammatory monocyte population, suggesting an additive anti-inflammatory effect of exercise.
他汀类药物治疗和运动训练可分别降低炎症标志物。本研究旨在确定瑞舒伐他汀治疗和增加运动训练对循环炎症标志物的影响,包括 C 反应蛋白(CRP)、单核细胞 toll 样受体 4(TLR4)表达和 CD14+CD16+单核细胞群大小。33 名高胆固醇血症和不运动的受试者被随机分配到瑞舒伐他汀(R)或瑞舒伐他汀/运动(RE)组。第三组运动的高胆固醇血症受试者作为对照组(AC)。R 和 RE 组接受瑞舒伐他汀治疗(10mg/d)20 周。从第 10 周到第 20 周,RE 组还参加了运动训练计划(每周 3 天)。在基线(Pre)、第 10 周(Mid)和第 20 周(Post)时进行了测量,包括通过三色流式细胞术测定 CD14+单核细胞上的 TLR4 表达和 CD14+CD16+单核细胞群大小。通过酶联免疫吸附试验定量 CRP。第 20 周时,R 组 CD14+单核细胞上的 TLR4 表达更高。当治疗组(R 和 RE)合并时,血清 CRP 随时间降低。此外,与 R 组相比,RE 组在 Post 时间点时 CRP 和炎症性单核细胞群更小。当所有组(R、RE 和 AC)合并时,与经典单核细胞(CD14+CD16⁻)相比,所有时间点上炎症性单核细胞(CD14+CD16+)上的 TLR4 表达更高。总之,瑞舒伐他汀可能通过增加循环单核细胞上的 TLR4 表达来影响单核细胞的炎症反应。瑞舒伐他汀治疗中增加运动训练进一步降低了 CRP 并减少了炎症性单核细胞群的大小,表明运动具有附加的抗炎作用。
