Loss of protein foldingregulation, which leads to unfolded or misfolded proteins accumulation inside the ERlumen, drives ER stress (ERS) and unfolded protein response (UPR) activation. Duringaging, there is a decline in the ability of the cell to handle protein folding, accumulationand aggregation, and the function of UPR is compromised. There is a progressivefailure of the chaperoning systems and a decline in many of its components, so thatthe UPR activation cannot rescue the ERS. Physical activity has been proposed asa powerful tool against aged-related diseases, which are linked to ERS. Interventionalstudies have demonstrated that regular exercise is able to decrease oxidative stressand inflammation and reverse mitochondrial and ER dysfunctions. Exercise-inducedmetabolic stress could activate the UPR since muscle contraction is directly involvedin its activation, mediating exercise-induced adaptation responses. In fact, regularmoderate-intensity exercise-induced ERS acts as a protective mechanism againstcurrent and future stressors. However, biological responses vary according to exerciseintensity and therefore induce different degrees of ERS and UPR activation. This articlereviews the effects of aging and exercise on ERS and UPR, also analyzing possiblechanges induced by different types of exercise in elderly subjects.
