Abstract

Cancer cachexia/anorexia is a complex syndrome that involves profound metabolic imbalances and is directly implicated as a cause of death in at least 20% to 30% of all cancers. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a key role in thermogenesis and energy balance and potentially contributes to the physiologic perturbations associated with cachexia. In this study, we investigated the impact of cachexia-inducing colorectal tumor on BAT in mice. We found that brown adipocytes were smaller and exhibited profound delipidation in cachectic tumor–bearing mice. Diurnal expression profiling of key regulators of lipid accumulation and fatty acid β-oxidation and their corresponding target genes revealed dramatic molecular changes indicative of active BAT. Increased Ucp1, Pbe, and Cpt1α expression at specific points coincided with higher BAT temperatures during the dark cycle, suggestive of a temporal stimulation of thermogenesis in cachexia. These changes persisted when cachectic mice were acclimatized to 28°C confirming inappropriate stimulation of BAT despite thermoneutrality. Evidence of inflammatory signaling also was observed in the BAT as an energetically wasteful and maladaptive response to anorexia during the development of cachexia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
