چکیده
Cancer anorexia-cachexia (CACS) is defined as a multifactorial syndrome characterized by ongoing loss of skeletal muscle mass that cannot be fully reversed by conventional nutritional support and leads to progressive functional impairment [1]. Cancer cachexia occurs across a continuum, varying in severity and stage; according to new classification we have pre-cachexia (early clinical signs of cachexia, low-grade weight loss), which may progress to cachexia (weight loss >5% in the last 6 months or a combination of >2% weight loss with low muscle or low BMI), and refractory cachexia (occurs due to rapidly progressing disease, and is unresponsive to anti-cancer therapy) [2-4]. CACS cannot be reversed by conventional nutritional support. The highest prevalence of this syndrom is seen in patients suffering from gastrointestinal and head and neck cancers (up to 90% of cases) [3-5].

The Role of microRNA in Cancer Cachexia and Muscle Wasting: A Review Article
Almost half of cancer patients experience cachexia syndrome. Cachexic patients are at risk of increased side effects of chemotherapy, reduced tolerance to chemotherapy drugs, longer duration of treatment period, and decreased quality of life. Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome. Micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA), a “non-coding RNA”, is considered to be a risk factor of cachexia and muscle...
متن کاملThe effects of interval aerobic training on mesenchymal biomarker gene expression, the rate of tumor volume, and cachexia in mice with breast cancer
Objective(s): It seems that regular exercise can have inhibitory effects on the progression of breast cancer. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the influences of interval aerobic training on mesenchymal biomarker gene expression, muscle cachexia, and tumor volume changes in mice with breast cancer.Materials and Methods: Thirty-...
متن کاملThe effect of a period of resistance training on the muscle proteasome activity and autophgy flux in mice with cancer induce cachexia
Introdution: Muscle weakness that is caused by cancer called Cachexia. One of the causes of the formation of the cachexia is the change in protein degradation, and the ubiquitous protease and Autophagy Lysosomes system is the most important protein breakdown system. Resistance training has been one the best stimulator of increasing muscular mass. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to inve...

Background & Aims: Deaths from cancer metastases are rising, and the process involved in metastasis is the transmission of epithelial to mesenchymal mood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of interval training on the expression of mesenchyme biomarkers, cachexia, and tumor volume in mice with breast cancer. Materials & Methods: Thirty-two female BALB/c mice ...

متن کاملThe rationale for preventing cancer cachexia: targeting excessive fatty acid oxidation
Cachexia commonly occurs at the terminal stage of cancer and has largely unclear molecular mechanisms. A recent study published in Nature Medicine, entitled "Excessive fatty acid oxidation induces muscle atrophy in cancer cachexia," reveals that cachectic cancer cells can secrete multiple cytokines that induce excessive fatty acid oxidation, which is responsible for muscle loss in cancer cachex...
