SUMMARY:

Cisplatin (CP) is a chemotherapy agent widely used to treat various types of solid tumors. However, its lack of selectivity affects healthy cells, causing several cytotoxic effects, including hepatotoxicity. Although the underlying mechanisms of hepatotoxicity are not fully understood, evidence suggests a significant involvement of the inflammatory process, in which increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduction of anti-inflammatory cytokines, and immune cell infiltration are determinants in the exacerbation and progression of tissue damage. Recently, some studies have reported the hepatoprotective effects mediated by regular aerobic physical exercise. However, it is still unclear which intensity is most effective in enhancing these protective effects, especially in acute liver injuries. Therefore, this study aims to compare the impacts between preconditioning with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and traditional continuous training of light (LIT) and moderate (MIT) intensities on inflammatory markers in Wistar rats with CP-induced hepatotoxicity. For this purpose, 35 Wistar female rats were divided into five groups (n=7 in each group): control and sedentary (C+S); treated with CP and sedentary (CP+S); treated with CP and subjected to LIT (CP+LIT); treated with CP and subjected to MIT (CP+MIT); and treated with CP and subjected to HIIT (CP+HIIT). The training protocols consisted of treadmill running, 5 days a week, for 8 weeks before the CP treatment. At the end of the 8-week training period, the rats received a single injection of CP (5 mg/kg i.p) or saline, and 7 days after the injection, they were euthanized. Liver samples were collected to evaluate the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10, the number of ED-1 positive cells, and M1 (iNOS) and M2 (arginase) macrophages markers in the hepatic tissue. Our results indicate that HIIT was the only exercise protocol capable of preventing the increase in all analyzed pro-inflammatory cytokines and reducing the number of ED-1 positive cells, at least in part through attenuating the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. Additionally, preconditioning with HIIT enhanced the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and the M2 macrophage marker while reducing the expression of the M1 macrophage marker in hepatic tissue. Thus, this study suggests that preconditioning with HIIT is more effective in promoting hepatoprotective effects than LIT and MIT preconditioning protocols, regulating important inflammatory markers through modulation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in the hepatic tissue of female rats treated with CP.
