Disrupted methionine cycle triggers muscle atrophy in cancer cachexia through epigenetic regulation of REDD1.

The essential amino acid methionine plays a pivotal role in one-carbon metabolism, facilitating the production of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), a critical supplier for DNA methylation and thereby a modulator of gene expression. Here, we report that the methionine cycle is disrupted...

CT-Based Body Composition and Frailty as Predictors of Survival Among Older Adults With Gastrointestinal Malignancies.

Older adults with cancer are at an increased risk of treatment related toxicities and early death. Routinely collected clinico-demographic characteristics inadequately explain this increased risk limiting accurate prognostication. Prior studies have suggested that altered body composition and frailty are independently...

Exploring the mediating roles of depression and cognitive function in the association between sarcopenia and frailty: A Cox survival analysis approach.

Despite earlier research indicating a potential link between the development of sarcopenia and an elevated risk of frailty, the lack of comprehensive prospective data on the correlation between sarcopenia and frailty incidence leaves open the question of whether depression and...

Acute Sarcopenia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Its Incidence and Muscle Parameter Shifts During Hospitalisation.

Acute sarcopenia is sarcopenia lasting less than 6 months, typically following acute illness or injury. It may impact patient recovery and quality of life, advancing to chronic sarcopenia. However, its development and assessment remain poorly understood, particularly during hospitalisation. This systematic...

Muscle Mass Index Decline as a Predictor of Lung Function Reduction in the General Population.

This study explores the link between muscle mass decline and lung function deterioration, which can worsen respiratory health by reducing exercise capacity and quality of life. The relationship between muscle mass index (MMI) changes and lung function in the general...

Low Skeletal Muscle Radiodensity Predicts Response to CDK4/6 Inhibitors Plus Aromatase Inhibitors in Advanced Breast Cancer.

Recent evidence indicates that a dysregulated host metabolism influences treatment outcomes in patients with breast cancer. We investigated the association of computed tomography (CT)-derived body composition indices with therapeutic responses in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (ABC)...

Clinical impact of cancer cachexia on the outcome of patients with non-small cell lung cancer with PD-L1 tumor proportion scores of ≥50% receiving pembrolizumab monotherapy versus immune checkpoint inhibitor with chemotherapy.

This retrospective, multicenter cohort study aimed to determine whether cancer cachexia serves as a biomarker for determining the most effective treatment for patients having non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression treated with immune checkpoint...

Lonafarnib Protects Against Muscle Atrophy Induced by Dexamethasone.

Muscle atrophy, including glucocorticoid-induced muscle wasting from treatments such as dexamethasone (DEX), results in significant reductions in muscle mass, strength and function. This study investigates the potential of lonafarnib, a farnesyltransferase inhibitor, to counteract DEX-induced muscle atrophy by targeting key...

Risk of Sarcopenia Following Long-Term Statin Use in Community-Dwelling Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Japan.

Inconsistent results have been reported concerning the association between statin administration and muscle health, specifically its potential to increase the risk of sarcopenia. Given the widespread long-term use of statins among the elderly population, the exploration of this association remains...

Glomerular Filtration of Creatinine: Validation of a Novel Index of Muscle Mass Among Older Adults.

Low muscle mass is common among older adults and associated with poor prognosis. Quantifying muscle mass is challenging in routine clinical practice. We hypothesized that glomerular filtration of creatinine (GFcr) reflects muscle mass, and previously proposed estimated GFcr (eGFcr), as...

Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide ameliorates skeletal muscle aging and mitochondrial dysfunction via PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Sarcopenia is currently a life-threatening disease for the elderly. Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) has anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the effects of PSP on skeletal muscle aging, myoblast differentiation and mitochondrial dysfunction through PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway has not been...
