Abstract
Cancer cachexia (CC) is a debilitating syndrome that affects 50-80% of cancer patients, varying in incidence by cancer type and significantly diminishing their quality of life. This multifactorial syndrome is characterized by muscle and fat loss, systemic inflammation, and metabolic imbalance. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, play a crucial role in the progression of CC. These vesicles, produced by cancer cells and others within the tumor environment, facilitate intercellular communication by transferring proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. A comprehensive review of the literature from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science reveals insights into the formation, release, and uptake of EVs in CC, underscoring their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. The review also explores therapeutic strategies targeting EVs, which include modifying their release and content, utilizing them for drug delivery, genetically altering their contents, and inhibiting key cachexia pathways. Understanding the role of EVs in CC opens new avenues for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, potentially mitigating the syndrome's impact on patient survival and quality of life.

[PMID: 31205695 PMCID: PMC6537061 DOI: 10.1177/2050312119850390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2019] [Accepted: 04/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: Fatigue is a frequent and often disabling phenomenon that occurs in patients
with chronic inflammatory and immunological diseases, and the underlying
biological mechanisms are largely unknown. Because fatigue is generated in
the brain, we aimed to investigate cerebrospinal fluid and search for
molecules that participate in the pathophysiology of fatigue processes. Methods: A label-free shotgun proteomics approach was applied to analyze the
cerebrospinal fluid proteome of 20 patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome.
Fatigue was measured with the fatigue visual analog scale. Results: A total of 828 proteins were identified and the 15 top discriminatory
proteins between patients with high and low fatigue were selected. Among
these were apolipoprotein A4, hemopexin, pigment epithelium-derived factor,
secretogranin-1, secretogranin-3, selenium-binding protein 1, and complement
factor B. Conclusion: Most of the discriminatory proteins have important roles in regulation of
innate immunity, cellular stress defense, and/or functions in the central
nervous system. These proteins and their interacting protein networks may
therefore have central roles in the generation and regulation of fatigue,
and the findings contribute with evidence to the concept of fatigue as a
biological phenomenon signaled through specific molecular pathways.

Abstract
Restrictive anorexia nervosa is associated with reduced eating and severe body weight loss leading to a cachectic state. Hypothalamus plays a major role in the regulation of food intake and energy homeostasis. In the present study, alterations of hypothalamic proteome and particularly of proteins involved in energy and mitochondrial metabolism have been observed in female activity-based anorexia (ABA) mice that exhibited a reduced food intake and a severe weight loss. In the hypothalamus, mitochondrial dynamic was also modified during ABA with an increase of fission without modification of fusion. In addition, increased dynamin-1, and LC3II/LC3I ratio signed an activation of autophagy while protein synthesis was increased. In conclusion, proteomic analysis revealed an adaptive hypothalamic protein response in ABA female mice with both altered mitochondrial response and activated autophagy.

Bone, muscle, and metabolic parameters predict survival in patients with synchronous bone metastases from lung cancers. Bone 2018; 108:202-209. [PMID: 29337225 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2018.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2017] [Revised: 12/11/2017] [Accepted: 01/04/2018] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung adenocarcinoma regularly induces bone metastases that are responsible for impaired quality of life as well as significant morbidity, including bone pain and fractures. We aimed at identifying whether bone and metabolic biomarkers were associated with the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma patients with synchronous bone metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS POUMOS is a prospective cohort of patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma and synchronous bone metastases. All patients underwent biopsy of bone metastases to confirm diagnosis, including genotyping of oncogenic drivers such as EGFR and KRAS. Whole-body composition was assessed using DEXA scan. Serum levels of C-reactive protein, HbA1C, calcaemia, sCTX, and DKK1 were also measured. RESULTS Sixty four patients, aged (mean ± SD) 65 ± 11 years, were included. Thirty-nine (61%) patients had a good performance status (PS 0-1); 56% had >5 bone lesions, and 41% a weight-bearing bone (femour or tibia) involvement. Median overall survival was 7 months. In multivariate analysis, HbA1c (HR = 1.69 [1.10-2.63] per 0.5% decrease; p = .02), DKK1 (HR = 1.28 [1.01-1.61] per 10 ng/mL increase; p = .04), and hypercalcaemia (HR = 2.83 [1.10-7.30]; p = .03) were independently associated with poorer survival. In the subgroup of patients with DEXA, sarcopenia was also associated with poorer survival (HR = 2.96, 95%CI [1.40-6.27]; p = .005). CONCLUSIONS In patients with lung adenocarcinoma and synchronous bone metastases, bone, sarcopenia, and metabolic parameters were predictors of poor overall survival independently of common prognostic factors. We suggest that, in addition to oncological therapy, supportive treatment dedicated to bone metastases, muscle wasting, and energy metabolism are essential to improve prognosis.

Abstract
This article focuses on approaches to link transcriptomic, proteomic, and peptidomic datasets mined from brain tissue to the original locations within the brain that they are derived from using digital atlas mapping techniques. We use, as an example, the transcriptomic, proteomic and peptidomic analyses conducted in the mammalian hypothalamus. Following a brief historical overview, we highlight studies that have mined biochemical and molecular information from the hypothalamus and then lay out a strategy for how these data can be linked spatially to the mapped locations in a canonical brain atlas where the data come from, thereby allowing researchers to integrate these data with other datasets across multiple scales. A key methodology that enables atlas-based mapping of extracted datasets-laser-capture microdissection-is discussed in detail, with a view of how this technology is a bridge between systems biology and systems neuroscience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cancer-anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS) negatively affects survival and therapy success in cancer patients. Inflammatory mediators and tumour-derived factors are thought to play an important role in the aetiology of CACS. However, the central and peripheral mechanisms contributing to CACS are insufficiently understood. The area postrema (AP) and the nucleus tractus solitarii are two important brainstem centres for the control of eating during acute sickness conditions. Recently, the tumour-derived macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) emerged as a possible mediator of cancer anorexia because lesions of these brainstem areas attenuated the anorectic effect of exogenous MIC-1 in mice. METHODS Using a rat hepatoma tumour model, we examined the roles of the AP and of vagal afferents in the mediation of CACS. Specifically, we investigated whether a lesion of the AP (APX) or subdiaphragmatic vagal deafferentation (SDA) attenuate anorexia, body weight, muscle, and fat loss. Moreover, we analysed MIC-1 levels in this tumour model and their correlation with tumour size and the severity of the anorectic response. RESULTS In tumour-bearing sham-operated animals mean daily food intake significantly decreased. The anorectic response was paralleled by a significant loss of body weight and muscle mass. APX rats were protected against anorexia, body weight loss, and muscle atrophy after tumour induction. In contrast, subdiaphragmatic vagal deafferentation did not attenuate cancer-induced anorexia or body weight loss. Tumour-bearing rats had substantially increased MIC-1 levels, which positively correlated with tumour size and cancer progression and negatively correlated with food intake. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate the importance of the AP in the mediation of cancer-dependent anorexia and body weight loss and support a pathological role of MIC-1 as a tumour-derived factor mediating CACS, possibly via an AP-dependent action.

Abstract
Anorexia is commonly present in persons with cancer and a major component of cancer cachexia. There are multiple causes of anorexia in cancer. Peripherally, these can be due to (i) substances released from or by the tumour, e.g. pro-inflammatory cytokines, lactate, and parathormone-related peptide; (ii) tumours causing dysphagia or altering gut function; (iii) tumours altering nutrients, e.g. zinc deficiency; (iv) tumours causing hypoxia; (v) increased peripheral tryptophan leading to increased central serotonin; or (vi) alterations of release of peripheral hormones that alter feeding, e.g. peptide tyrosine tyrosine and ghrelin. Central effects include depression and pain, decreasing the desire to eat. Within the central nervous system, tumours create multiple alterations in neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and prostaglandins that modulate feeding. Many of these neurotransmitters appear to produce their anorectic effects through the adenosine monophosphate kinase/methylmalonyl coenzyme A/fatty acid system in the hypothalamus. Dynamin is a guanosine triphosphatase that is responsible for internalization of melanocortin 4 receptors and prostaglandin receptors. Dynamin is up-regulated in a mouse model of cancer anorexia. A number of drugs, e.g. megestrol acetate, cannabinoids, and ghrelin agonists, have been shown to have some ability to be orexigenic in cancer patients.
