Autophagy Exacerbates Muscle Wasting in Cancer Cachexia and Impairs Mitochondrial Function
Fabio Penna,Riccardo Ballarò,Paula Martinez-Cristobal,David Sala,David Sebastian,Sílvia Busquets,Maurizio Muscaritoli,Josep M. Argilés,Paola Costelli,Antonio Zorzano,Antonio Zorzano +10 more
TL;DR: Overall, the results evoke a central role for muscle autophagy in cancer-induced muscle wasting, and TP53INP2 further promoted atrogene expression and suppressed mitochondrial dynamics-related genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moderate exercise in mice improves cancer plus chemotherapy-induced muscle wasting and mitochondrial alterations.
Riccardo Ballarò,Marc Beltrà,Serena De Lucia,Fabrizio Pin,Kia Ranjbar,Juha J. Hulmi,Paola Costelli,Fabio Penna +7 more
TL;DR: Exercise worsened survival in C26 oxfu mice in late stages of cachexia, and chemotherapy further impinges on cancer‐induced alterations, worsening muscle wasting.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Skeletal Muscle as an Active Player Against Cancer Cachexia.
Fabio Penna,Riccardo Ballarò,Marc Beltrà,Serena De Lucia,Lorena García Castillo,Paola Costelli +5 more
TL;DR: Several observations suggest that the muscle reacts to the wasting drive imposed by cancer growth by activating different compensatory strategies that include anabolic capacity, the activation of autophagy and myogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Animal models for cancer cachexia.
TL;DR: The use of more complex animal models that better resemble cancer cachexia will expand the understanding of the underlying mechanisms and will allow a more reliable evaluation of prospective drugs for translational purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moderate Exercise Improves Experimental Cancer Cachexia by Modulating the Redox Homeostasis
Riccardo Ballarò,Fabio Penna,Fabrizio Pin,Fabrizio Pin,Mari Carmen Gomez-Cabrera,Jose Viña,Paola Costelli +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the contribution of oxidative stress to cancer-induced cachexia in the presence or in the absence of moderate exercise training and found that moderate exercise was able to relieve muscle wasting and prevented the loss of muscle strength.
