Dietary curcumin supplementation does not alter peripheral blood mononuclear cell responses to exertional heat stress.
European Journal of Applied Physiology 2018 December
INTRODUCTION: Curcumin reduces gut barrier damage and plasma cytokine responses to exertional heat stress. However, the role of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) in this response remains unclear.
PURPOSE: This work investigated the effect of 3 days of 500 mg/day dietary curcumin supplementation on PBMC responses to exertional heat stress in non-heat acclimated humans.
METHODS: Eight participants ran (65% VO2max ) for 60 min in an environmental chamber (37 °C/25% RH) two times (curcumin/placebo). Blood samples were collected pre, post, 1 h post, and 4 h post-exercise. PBMC were isolated from blood samples and the protein content of markers along the TLR4 signaling pathway (TLR4, MyD88, pNF-κB, NF-κB), indicators of cellular energy status (SIRT1 and p-AMPK), and mediators of cellular heat shock response (pHSF-1 and HSP70) were examined with Western blot. Data were analyzed with two-way (condition × time) RM-ANOVAs with Newman-Keuls post hocs.
RESULTS: As compared to placebo, curcumin did not alter protein expression in PBMC (p > 0.05). However, in both study conditions at 1 h post-reductions were noted in TLR 4 (- 21.5%; p = 0.03), HSP70 (- 11.0%; p = 0.04), pAMPK (- 48.5%; p < 0.01), and SIRT1 (- 47.8%; p < 0.01). Remarkably, the ratio of pNF-κB to NF-κB was elevated in both conditions at this same timepoint (+ 75.4%; p = 0.02).
CONCLUSIONS: Inflammatory protein expression in PBMC did not differ between curcumin and placebo conditions. Downregulation of pAMPK/SIRT1 and release of HSP70 to the bloodstream may compensate for reduced TLR4, allowing PBMC to maintain inflammatory capacity and preventing an "open window" during the hours following hyperthermic exercise.
