Cancer cachexia is a syndrome characterized by the severe wasting of skeletal muscle tissue; that is estimated to affect more than 50% of all cancer patients and results in lower quality of life due to compromised fatigue, weakness, immune function, insulin resistance and poor tolerance and response to chemotherapy. Remarkably, approximately 30% of cancer-related deaths are estimated as a…
The skeletal muscle atrophy is a common phenomenon in many chronic systemic diseases such a sepsis, chronic heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, AIDS and cancer. These diseases may be accompanied by a complex metabolic syndrome characterized by muscle wasting, denominated cachexia. The molecular pathways responsible for cachexia are not c…
Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle atrophy in cachexia, a metabolic syndrome commonly associated with many chronic systemic inflammatory diseases such as cancer and AIDS. Although the up-regulation of mRNA levels in response to TNF signaling has been studied extensively in the context of immune ac…
