ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle wasting affects up to 80% of patients with advanced cancer and directly impacts surgical prognosis, chemotherapeutic response, morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. While considerable effort has gone into understanding how tumors (and the host response to tumors) contribute to the etiology of cancer cachexia, relatively little is known about how the cachectic state in turn influences tumor dynamics. Our long- term goal is to develop a better understanding of reciprocal tumor-host interactions to approach therapeutic development more holistically in cancer patients. We present preliminary data highlighting the role of muscle wasting with respect to tumor progression. First, we show that mice genetically engineered to resist muscle wasting exhibit enhanced survival and slower tumor growth compared to matched control mice subjected to the same tumor transplantation protocol. Second, preliminary analyses of tumors isolated from these mice point to significant differences in cell type composition and gene expression as a function of muscle wasting. Third, we observe a divergent/unique secretome associated with ongoing myofiber atrophy. This proposal builds on these exciting findings and will address the central hypothesis that skeletal muscle wasting actively promotes tumor progression. In this proposal we will 1) detail tumor progression in the presence/absence of muscle wasting and determine if wasting prevention and intervention is sufficient to augment tumor growth, and 2) interrogate the skeletal muscle secretome to better understand the fate, composition, and function of catabolic muscle breakdown products. Together, we anticipate this work being a significant and innovative step towards better understanding the dynamic and complex relationship between tumors and host tissues, such as skeletal muscle.

抽象的 骨骼肌萎缩影响高达 80% 的晚期癌症患者，并直接影响手术 预后、化疗反应、发病率、死亡率和生活质量。尽管付出了相当大的努力 深入了解肿瘤（以及宿主对肿瘤的反应）如何促成癌症的病因学 对于恶病质，人们对恶病质状态如何影响肿瘤动力学知之甚少。我们的长期 长期目标是更好地理解肿瘤与宿主之间的相互作用，以实现治疗 癌症患者的发展更加全面。我们提供初步数据，强调肌肉的作用 与肿瘤进展相关的消耗。首先，我们证明经过基因改造的小鼠能够抵抗肌肉 与接受该治疗的匹配对照小鼠相比，消瘦表现出更高的存活率和更慢的肿瘤生长 相同的肿瘤移植方案。其次，对从这些小鼠身上分离出的肿瘤进行的初步分析表明 细胞类型组成和基因表达作为肌肉萎缩的函数存在显着差异。第三，我们 观察与持续肌纤维萎缩相关的不同/独特的分泌组。该提案建立在这些基础上 令人兴奋的发现并将解决骨骼肌消耗积极促进肿瘤的中心假设 进展。在本提案中，我们将 1) 详细说明存在/不存在肌肉萎缩的情况下的肿瘤进展，以及 确定消耗预防和干预是否足以促进肿瘤生长，2）询问 骨骼肌分泌组，以更好地了解分解代谢肌的命运、组成和功能 分解产品。我们共同预计这项工作将成为朝着更好的方向迈出的重要且创新的一步 了解肿瘤与宿主组织（例如骨骼肌）之间动态且复杂的关系。
