Nuclear factor-
B (NF-
B) is a transcription factor with important roles in regulating innate immune and inflammatory responses. NF-
B is activated through the phosphorylation of its inhibitor, I
B, by the I
B kinase (IKK) complex. Physical exercise elicits changes in skeletal muscle gene expression, yet signaling cascades and transcription factors involved remain largely unknown. To determine whether NF-
B signaling is regulated by exercise in vivo, rats were run on a motorized treadmill for 560 min. Exercise resulted in up to twofold increases in IKK
/
phosphorylation in the soleus and red gastrocnemius muscles throughout the time course studied. In red gastrocnemius muscles, NF-
B activity increased 50% 13 h after 60 min of treadmill exercise, returning to baseline by 5 h. Contraction of isolated extensor digitorum longus muscles in vitro increased IKK
/
phosphorylation sevenfold and this was accompanied by a parallel increase in I
B
phosphorylation. Additional kinases that are activated by exercise include p38, extracellular-signal regulated protein kinase (ERK), and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Inhibitors of p38 (SB-203580) and ERK (U-0126) blunted contraction-mediated IKK phosphorylation by 39 ± 4% (P = 0.06) and 35 ± 10% (P = 0.09), respectively, and in combination by 76 ± 5% (P < 0.05), suggesting that these kinases might influence the activation of IKK and NF-
B during exercise. In contrast, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-
-D-ribofuranoside, an activator of AMPK, had no effect on either IKK or NF-
B activity. In conclusion, acute submaximal exercise transiently stimulates NF-
B signaling in skeletal muscle. This activation is a local event because it can occur in the absence of exercise-derived systemic factors.
