Abstract

Background: The herpes simplex viruses cause a variety of clinical illnesses that are painful and often distressing. To control the infection, the development of an effective vaccine that prevents or reduces the primary and recurrent infections would be of great significance. With considering to immunological changes following an acute endurance exercise, the purpose of this study was to assess adjuvant effects of an acute endurance exercise in first herpes simplex virus 1 vaccine injection and its booster shots on interleukin-10 cytokine and granzyme B levels.
Methods: This experimental study was carried out in Tarbiat Modares University during May to October 2016. 32 BALB/c mice were divided into 4 groups: control, vaccine, vaccine plus an acute exercise in first injection and vaccine plus an acute endurance exercise in first injection and booster shots. Mice without or with access to acute endurance exercise were immunized intramuscularly with inactivated KOS strain of HSV-1. Two weeks after three booster shots of vaccine, interleukin-10 and granzyme B levels were determined in spleen cell culture with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.
Results: This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that an acute endurance exercise as an adjuvant in herpes simplex virus 1 vaccine can change interleukin-10 cytokine and granzyme B levels in mouse model. The result of this study showed significant differences between groups in interleukin-10 and granzyme B levels (P=0.001). Increasing in granzyme B levels with concurrent decreases in interleukin-10 levels was observed following using vaccine plus acute exercise in first injection of vaccine and booster shots.
Conclusion: It is suggested that exercise may stimulate parameters related to cellular immunity and hence decrease the risk of infection decreased levels of interleukin-10 in experimental group that had vaccine plus acute exercise in the first injection of vaccine and booster shots as an adjuvant was observed. These results demonstrate alternation of T helper 2 cells function and improve of cell immunity for protection against herpes simplex virus 1 infections.

Abstract

Background: Long-term and intensive physical exercise can change the function of different cells in the immune system in athletes, predisposing them to viral infections such as coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The purpose of this brief report was to provide protocols related to the immune system in athletes to prevent infectious diseases.
Methods: To examine immune system responses to sports activities, articles were collected from all databases: Science Direct, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Springer, Google Scholar, SID, and the most recent articles were selected.
Results: High-intensity and long-term physical exercise can be effective in suppressing immune responses. Therefore, moderate-intensity exercise can be an effective strategy. Maintaining the function of the immune system in athletes was dependent on nutritional strategies, sleep control, stress management, and strict adherence to proper exercise principles and health protocols. Athletes are more prone to viral infections in the early hours after strenuous, prolonged physical exercise; and they should be limited in contact with people who may increase their risk of infectious diseases. We should mention that moderate-intensity physical exercise can improve the function of immunoglobulins, anti-inflammatory cytokines, neutrophils, natural killer cells, cytotoxic T cells, and immature B cells. Maintaining social distance, especially immediately after strenuous exercise, is also recommended for athletes due to the increased risk of infectious diseases. The immune system has been considered an effective part of sports activities in athletes in recent years. The prevalence of viral diseases such as COVID-19 has not been and will not be for the first and last time in life. Therefore, using questionnaires and initial monitoring (adherence to diets, corona testing, adherence to health protocols) can be the first step.
Conclusion: Finally Due to the pandemic of coronary heart disease and its unknowingness, providing some health and nutrition guidelines for starting exercises and sports competitions to prevent the transmission of this disease is on the agenda of this article.
