Functional liver genomics identifies hepatokines promoting wasting in cancer cachexia.

In cancer cachexia, the presence of a tumor triggers systemic metabolic disruption that leads to involuntary body weight loss and accelerated mortality in affected patients. Here, we conducted transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling of the liver in various weight-stable cancer and...

Oral apigenin prevents obesity-related muscular atrophy, but not obesity itself, in middle-aged rats fed a high-calorie diet.

Obesity constitutes a growing global health concern, affecting individuals during the aging process. Flavonoids that increase tissue NAD+โ€ฏlevels, such as apigenin (Api), are proposed for the treatment of obesity and age-related diseases. Thus, this study aimed to provide initial preclinical...

EIF4A3 Promotes Muscle Atrophy and Aging by Inhibiting the FAK Pathway Through NEDD9 mRNA Destabilization.

Muscle atrophy has a poor prognosis, caused by various factors. Identifying a shared treatment target could address an unmet clinical need. The exon junction complex (EJC), a protein complex assembly that binds to RNA, facilitates post-transcriptional regulation by participating in...

Scutellarein attenuates cancer cachexia-induced muscle atrophy via targeted inhibition of the JAK/STAT pathway.

Cancer cachexia is a multifaceted metabolic syndrome characterized by severe loss of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, diminishing both quality of life and survival in cancer patients. Despite its prevalence, effective treatments for cancer cachexia remain limited. The JAK/STAT signaling...

Umbelliferone attenuates diabetic sarcopenia by modulating mitochondrial quality and the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical performance, is traditionally associated with aging. However, chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been recognized as key accelerators of its progression. In this...

Haptoglobin and Glutamine Synthetase May Biomark Cachexia Induced by Antiacute Myeloid Leukaemia Chemotherapy.

Anticancer chemotherapy is an underappreciated contributor to cancer cachexia, an often-irreversible body-wasting condition that causes 20%-30% of cancer-related deaths. An obstacle to predicting, monitoring and understanding the mechanisms underlying chemotherapy cachexia is that each cancer (and subtype) is assigned different...

Early Detection of Age-Related Decline of Muscle Cell Mass by Intracellular Water Assessment Compared With MRI or DXA.

Ageing is commonly associated with a decrease in muscle strength, which is largely linked to decreases in skeletal muscle mass (SMM). The rate of the age-related decline in muscle strength is different from the rate of the age-related decline in...

Vitamin K2 Alleviates Insulin Resistance Associated Skeletal Muscle Atrophy via the AKT/mTOR Signalling Pathway.

Skeletal muscle atrophy and insulin resistance (IR) aggravate each other. Vitamin K2 (VK2) exhibits beneficial effects on IR, but whether it improves IR associated skeletal muscle atrophy remains insufficiently understood. This study aims to investigate the effects of VK2 on...

ZBED6 Knockout Prevents Ageing- and Dexamethasone-Induced Muscle Atrophy via Dkk3 in Pig and Mice.

Effective treatments for skeletal muscle atrophy, a debilitating condition linked to ageing and glucocorticoid therapy, remain lacking. Zinc finger BED-type containing 6 (ZBED6), a transcriptional repressor, enhances muscle growth and protects against sepsis-induced atrophy, but its role in ageing- and...
