PEBP4 alleviates muscle wasting in lung cancer cachexia via KEAP1-NRF2-mediated redox homeostasis.

Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is a multifactorial metabolic syndrome characterized by progressive skeletal muscle wasting. However, the molecular link between tumor metabolic stress and muscle degradation remains elusive. Here, we identify phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 4 (PEBP4) as a key regulator of muscle...

Mitochondrial Transporter ABCB10 Protects Against Doxorubicin-Induced Respiratory Muscle Dysfunction Independent of Changes to Diaphragm Accumulation.

BACKGROUND

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent whose use can cause respiratory toxicity, increasing patient fatigue and negatively impacting quality of life and survival. These adverse effects occur due to diaphragm muscle mitochondrial accumulation of DOX, where it causes...

Chinese leek-derived extracellular vesicles ameliorate sarcopenia by regulating mitochondrial biogenesis and autophagy via AMPK and maintaining myosin homeostasis.

Sarcopenia, a prevalent age-related degenerative disorder, poses significant challenges in geriatric care. Chinese leek demonstrates therapeutic potential against sarcopenia progression, with emerging evidence suggesting its extracellular vesicles (EVs) may mediate these effects. Notably, plant-derived EVs have garnered increasing attention due...

Pathways Contributing to Chemotherapy-Induced Myotoxicity Are Attenuated by EPA + DHA in a Clinically Relevant Model of Colorectal Cancer.

BACKGROUND

Skeletal muscle loss is a well-recognized consequence of cancer, and chemotherapy exacerbates myotoxicity through multiple mechanisms. Retaining muscle mass improves tumour response to therapies and tolerance to chemotherapy; hence, interventions to mitigate myotoxicity warrant investigations. This study aimed to investigate...

STX4 Is Indispensable for Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Skeletal Muscle.

BACKGROUND

Mitochondrial homeostasis is vital for optimal skeletal muscle integrity. Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) mechanisms that are essential for maintaining proper functions of mitochondria include mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics and mitophagy. Previously, Syntaxin 4 (STX4), traditionally considered a cell surface protein known...
