Cachexia

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...

Cachexia

Thymic Microenvironment Remodeling in Cancer Cachexia as a Determinant of Checkpoint Inhibitor Efficacy and Toxicity.

The discovery of immune checkpoints links autoimmunity and cancer, with thymus atrophy reportedly causing autoimmune multiorgan inflammation. The impact of cancer cachexia on thymic involution and its clinical significance remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate this effect and its...

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+ levels, such as apigenin (Api), are proposed for the treatment of obesity and age-related diseases. Thus, this study aimed to provide initial preclinical...

Cancer Cachexia

The role of body composition in the development of diabetes mellitus among childhood cancer survivors, and novel intervention strategies to mitigate diabetes risk.

The growing population of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) experiences a large burden of comorbidities, including a markedly increased risk of diabetes mellitus. Among CCSs, prediabetes and diabetes are important risk factors for subsequent cardiovascular disease, which is a leading cause...

Impact of Adipose Tissue and Lipids on Skeletal Muscle in Sarcopenia.

Although the decline in muscle mass, function and increased visceral obesity are attracting substantial attention in the ageing society, approved treatment modalities for sarcopenia/sarcopenic obesity (SO) remain limited. Elucidating effects and mechanisms of adipose tissue and lipids on skeletal muscle...

Integrating Body Composition and Nutritional Indices: A Novel Prognostic Tool for Survival in Pancreatic Cancer.

Sarcopenia and malnutrition have been independently associated with a poorer prognosis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but their combined association with patient outcomes is not fully understood. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the synergistic effects of body composition parameters...

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...

Ageing Signatures and Disturbed Muscle Regeneration in Muscle Proteome of Inclusion Body Myositis.

Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is the most common acquired myopathy in adults over the age of 50 years, characterised by inflammatory and degenerative features that lead to progressive muscle weakness and physical disability for lack of effective therapies. The complex interplay...

Androgen Deprivation Therapy-Induced Muscle Loss and Fat Gain Predict Cardiovascular Events in Prostate Cancer Patients.

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with prostate cancer. ADT can induce body composition change; however, the association between body composition change and cardiovascular outcomes remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the...

INFLAMMATION IN CANCER CACHEXIA: STILL THE CENTRAL TENET OR JUST ANOTHER PLAYER?

Cancer cachexia, a multifactorial syndrome characterised by body weight loss, muscle and adipose tissue wasting, affects cancer patients. Over time, the definition of cachexia has been modified, including inflammation as one of the main causal factors. Evidences have suggested that...

Low Visceral Adipose Tissue Predicts the Outcome of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Multicentre Real-World Study.

Visceral obesity (VO), associated with excessive visceral adipose tissue (VAT), has been extensively studied in cancer. However, whether low VAT can predict the prognosis of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) remains unknown. This multicentre real-world cohort study...
