Interplay Between mTORC1 Signaling and Iron Homeostasis in Muscle Atrophy.

The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) plays an important role in maintaining skeletal muscle homeostasis by regulating cell growth, protein degradation, and nutrient sensing. Beyond its role in muscle growth and atrophy, recent findings suggest that mTORC1 also...

CXCL14 Promotes Skeletal Muscle Mass Growth and Attenuates Lipopolysaccharide- and Dexamethasone-Induced Muscle Atrophy in Cultured Myotubes and Mouse Models.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b></p><p>Skeletal muscle mass is regulated by secretory factors derived from myofibers and muscle-resident cells. Identifying these factors and understanding their mechanisms is critical for combating muscle wasting disorders. This experimental study investigates the role of CXCL14, a chemokine primarily secreted...

Sex-specific survival but not tissue wasting in the KPP mouse model of pancreatic cancer-induced cachexia.

Cancer cachexia, a multifactorial condition resulting in muscle and adipose tissue wasting, reduces the quality of life of many people with cancer. Cachexia is highly prevalent in people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and many animal models of pancreatic cancer...

Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 and Sarcopenia in Maintenance Haemodialysis Population.

Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass, strength, and/or performance. It is strongly associated with all-cause mortality. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is markedly elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease, especially those receiving maintenance dialysis. FGF23 has...

GL261 glioblastoma induces delayed body weight gain and stunted skeletal muscle growth in young mice.

The survival rate for children and adolescents has increased to over 85%. However, there is limited understanding of the impact of pediatric cancers on muscle development and physiology. Given that brain tumors alone account for 26% of all pediatric cancers,...

Selpercatinib mitigates cancer cachexia independent of anti-tumor activity in the HT1080 tumor model.

Anorexia is a major cause of cancer cachexia and is induced by growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15), which activates the rearranged during transfection (RET) protein tyrosine kinase in the hindbrain through GDF family receptor ฮฑ-like (GFRAL), raising the possibility of targeting...

Longitudinal Body Composition Identifies Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Cachexia Following Combined Immunotherapy and Target Therapy (CHANCE2213).

Cancer cachexia can impact prognosis, cause resistance to anticancer treatments and affect the tolerability of treatments. This study aims to identify hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with cachexia by characterizing longitudinal body composition (BC) trajectories. This longitudinal, multicentre cohort study included unresectable...
