Formation of colorectal liver metastases induces musculoskeletal and metabolic abnormalities
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Advanced colorectal cancer (CRC), a leading cause of death worldwide, is often accompanied by the development of liver metastases (LM), as well as skeletal muscle (SkM) wasting, i.e. cachexia. Despite affecting the majority of CRC patients, cachexia remains understudied and uncured. Moreover, only a single model of LM associated with CRC has been developed for the study of cachexia. Here we examined differential gene expression of skeletal muscles deriving from subcutaneous and metastatic C26 tumor hosts. Tumor hosts displaying LM experienced exacerbated muscle wasting compared to tumor hosts without LM.
