Pre-surgery gut microbial diversity and abundance are associated with post-surgery onset of cachexia in colorectal cancer patients: the ColoCare Study.

Cachexia accounts for about 20% of all cancer-related deaths and it is indicative of poor prognosis and progressive functional impairment. The role of the gut microbiome in the development of cachexia in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients has not been established....

Coix seed oil alleviates collagen-induced arthritis-associated muscle atrophy and functional decline by modulating gut microbiota dysbiosis.

The gut microbiota composition influences the pathogenesis of sarcopenia via the "gut microbiota-muscle axis", with probiotics serving as potential therapeutic agents. Coix seed oil (CSO), a bioactive component of Coix lacryma-jobi l., exhibit potent anti-inflammatory effects, however, its therapeutic role...

Adipose-Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Intercellular Crosstalk With Skeletal Muscle: Implications for Sarcopenic Obesity and Metabolic Dysregulation.

Sarcopenic obesity, characterized by the concurrent presence of excess adiposity and diminished skeletal muscle mass and function, is closely linked to frailty, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance. The increasing prevalence of sarcopenic obesity is driven by the global aging population,...

Therapeutic silicate biomaterials for sarcopenia treatment by inhibiting inflammation and enhancing muscle regeneration through regulation of Sarcolipin/SIRT signaling pathway.

Based on the observation of silicon content decrease in the muscles and serum with aging, this study proposes a silicate bioactive material based therapy for treating sarcopenia. Two therapeutic strategies were designed. One utilizes calcium silicate (CS) hydrogel for localized...

Promoting mitochondrial fusion is protective against cancer-induced muscle detriments in males and females.

Skeletal muscle atrophy during cancer-induced cachexia remains a significant challenge in cancer management. Mitochondrial defects precede muscle mass and functional losses in models of cancer cachexia (CC). We hypothesized targeting Opa1-a key regulator of mitochondrial fusion-can attenuate LLC-induced CC outcomes....

Vagal blockade of the brain-liver axis deters cancer-associated cachexia.

Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is a multifactorial and currently incurable syndrome responsible for nearly one-third of cancer-related deaths. It contributes to therapy resistance and increases mortality among affected patients. In this study, we show that cancer-induced systemic inflammation alters vagal tone...

Cancer therapy and cachexia.

A central challenge in cancer therapy is the effective delivery of anticancer treatments while minimizing adverse effects on patient health. The potential dual impact of therapy is clearly illustrated in cancer-associated cachexia, a multifactorial syndrome characterized by involuntary weight loss,...

hUC-MSCs and derived exosomes attenuate DEX-induced muscle atrophy through modulation of estrogen signaling pathway.

Sarcopenia, a multifactorial syndrome characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, combined with impaired physical function, is associated primarily with aging but also driven by chronic inflammation, immobility, and endocrine dysregulation. It leads to increased risks of...

Symphony of regulated cell death: Unveiling therapeutic horizons in sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia is a progressive musculoskeletal condition associated with aging, marked by a decline in muscle mass, strength, and performance. This condition not only compromises functional independence in older individuals but also contributes to escalating healthcare and economic burdens. Although the...

Unravelling the Role of PIEZO1 in Adipogenesis of Fibrogenic/Adipogenic Progenitors for Muscle Fat Infiltration After Rotator Cuff Tear.

Muscular fatty infiltration originated from fibrogenic/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) is a common issue following rotator cuff tear (RCT) that impairs shoulder function. RCT disrupted the biomechanical equilibrium of the shoulder and decreased the mechanical stimuli transmitted to the rotator cuff. Whether...

High expression of the cachexia-related protein Fn14 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma correlates with poor chemotherapy response and anti-Fn14 therapy decreases chemotherapeutic resistance.

In cancer cachexia, cytokine release by tumours causes weight loss, decreased therapeutic efficacy, and worsened prognosis. Tumour necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) and fibroblast inducible factor 14 (Fn14) are cancer cachexia-related proteins; however, their expression in oesophageal squamous...

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...
