ABSTRACT
The C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) plays a role in the immunopathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Exercise has anti-inflammatory properties that may contribute to the rehabilitation of CKD patients. To date, the impact of the intradialytic exercise on CCR5 expression in monocytes and lymphocytes of CKD patients is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the effects of an acute intradialytic moderate-intensity exercise on CD4+CCR5+ T-cells and CD14+CCR5+ monocytes of elderly individuals with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Eight CKD elderly patients performed a single bout of 20 min intradialytic exercise and a control hemodialysis (HD) session. Blood samples were collected at baseline, during and immediately after the trials. HD therapy increased the peripheral frequency of CD4+CCR5+ T-cells. The systemic CCL5 levels and the peripheral CD14+CCR5+ proportions increased during and after HD therapy. No significant alterations in CD4+CCR5+ and CD14+CCR5+ proportions or CCL5 levels were identified in CKD patients during and after intradialytic exercise. A negative correlation between the peripheral frequency of CD14+CCR5+ and the creatinine levels was identified in the intradialytic exercise session. A single moderate-intensity intradialytic exercise imposes an immunomodulatory impact in CKD elderly patients, preventing an excessive inflammatory response induced by hemodialysis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the acute response of natural killer (NK) cell subsets of chronic kidney disease patients submitted to intradialytic exercise in a randomized crossover study. METHODS: Nine patients were submitted to a single bout of 20-min intradialytic exercise and a control hemodialysis (HD) session with an interval of 7 days between them. Peripheral blood sample was collected at baseline, during HD and immediately after HD in each trial to evaluate the peripheral frequency of NK cells and their subsets (CD3-CD56bright and CD3-CD56dim), systemic cortisol concentrations, C-reactive protein (CRP), creatine kinase activity (CK), and urea and creatinine levels. RESULTS: HD therapy induced a significant decrease in NK cells frequency (p = 0.039), NK CD3-CD56bright cells (p = 0.04), and CD3-CD56dim cells (p = 0.036). On the other hand, no significant alterations were observed in NK cells and NK subsets during and after intradialytic exercise trial (p > 0.05). Neither trial altered CRP levels or serum CK activity during and after HD therapy (p > 0.05). However, HD therapy increased cortisol concentrations after HD therapy (p = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests the potential role of intradialytic exercise to prevent the decrease in peripheral frequency of NK cell subsets during HD therapy. Moreover, moderate intensity intradialytic exercise did not exacerbate the systemic inflammation or induce muscle damage during HD therapy.

BACKGROUND: Immunological dysfunctions and a pro-inflammatory environment are associated with higher risk of cardiovascular diseases in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Physical exercise can be an important anti-inflammatory strategy, but the effects in CKD remain poorly investigated. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the acute inflammatory response to intradialytic exercise in the peripheral blood of individuals with CKD. METHODS: Nine patients, of both genders, with CKD and allocated in the ambulatory of hemodialysis of Hospital Ernesto Dornelles (Brazil), performed two sessions of hemodialysis (HD) in random form: aerobic intradialytic exercise sessions (EX, 20 min of moderate exercise in cycle-ergometer) and a control hemodialysis session (CON). Peripheral blood collection was made at the baseline, during and immediately after HD to evaluate the cytokine profile: interleukin-6, interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-17a (IL-17a), interferon-gamma (INF-γ) and tumoral necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). RESULTS: INF-γ decreased during HD when compared with the pre moment in both sessions, while an increase in post HD was only found in the CON session. IL-17 was higher in post when compared with during HD in both sessions. In addition to the time effect, IL-10 presented a time × group interaction and the relative changes were significantly higher in EX when compared with the CON session. The relative changes in TNF-α tended to be higher in CON when compared with EX immediately post HD session. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that 20 min of intradialytic exercise have modest effect in systemic inflammation. However, the significant increase in IL-10 may indicate an immunoregulatory effect of physical exercise.
