Tumor necrosis factor-alpha mediates changes in tissue protein turnover in a rat cancer cachexia model.

چکیده
Rats bearing the Yoshida AH-130 ascites hepatoma showed enhanced fractional rates of protein degradation in gastrocnemius muscle, heart, and liver, while fractional synthesis rates were similar to those in non-tumor bearing rats. This hypercatabolic pattern was associated with marked perturbations of the hormonal homeostasis and presence of tumor necrosis factor in the circulation. The daily administration of a goat anti-murine TNF IgG to tumor-bearing rats decreased protein degradation rates in skeletal muscle, heart, and liver as compared with tumor-bearing rats receiving a nonimmune goat IgG. The anti-TNF treatment was also effective in attenuating early perturbations in insulin and corticosterone homeostasis. Although these results suggest that tumor necrosis factor plays a significant role in mediating the changes in protein turnover and hormone levels elicited by tumor growth, the inability of such treatment to prevent a reduction in body weight implies that other mediators or tumor-related events were also involved.

متن کاملTumor necrosis factor signaling is implicated in intestinal mucosal injury of cancer cachexic mice
This study will examine the relationship between tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and intestinal mucosal injury in a cancer cachexia mouse model. The C26 adenocarcinoma cancer model was set up, and immunohistochemistry was performed to investigate the histological chances of injuring the intestinal mucosa and the intestinal villi. The liquid-phase protein chip was employed to examine the changes in ...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory role of piperine against rat lung tissue damage induced by gamma-rays
Background: Radiation‐induced acute lung damages are refractory side effects in lung cancer radiotherapy (RT). Prospective study investigates the possible role of piperine (Pip) as anti-inflammatory agent against γ-rays-induced lung tissue lesions in an applicable rat model. Materials and Methods: Fifty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: Control, rats were administered...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor (cachectin) mediates induction of cachexia by cord factor from mycobacteria.
The mechanism by which cord factor (CF), a toxic glycolipid from mycobacteria, induces cachexia was studied in BALB/c mice. Body weight was markedly reduced 48 h after CF administration; the animals became severely wasted and exhibited hypertriglyceridemia, hypoglycemia, and high levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in plasma. After CF administration, a transferable factor which caused cachexi...
متن کاملHormonal and metabolic response to recombinant human tumor necrosis factor in rat: in vitro and in vivo.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF; cachectin) has been implicated as a mediator of the toxic manifestations of overwhelming bacterial infection as well as the chronic catabolic state of cancer cachexia. We have examined the acute metabolic and hormonal response after administration of recombinant human TNF in the rat. TNF given by intraperitoneal injection produced dose- and time-related increases in ...
