项目摘要
Project Summary
Cachexia is a devastating state of malnutrition brought about by a synergistic combination of decreased appetite
and increased metabolism of fat and lean mass. Furthermore, multiple organs, including the heart, are impaired
by this debilitating condition. While many chronic diseases such as heart failure, kidney failure, and cirrhosis are
associated with cachexia, this condition is particularly prevalent in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Our lab and others demonstrated significant structural and functional remodeling of the heart in various models
of cancer cachexia. These maladaptive changes in the heart are also observed in chemotherapy-naïve cancer
cachexia patients, limiting tolerable therapeutic options and quality of life. However, there are currently no
effective treatments for cachexia and the mediators of adverse cardiac remodeling in cancer-associated
cachexia remain elusive.
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is responsible for the “fight-or-flight” response and primes the body to
fight disease. Chronic SNS overactivity is implicated in cachexia pathophysiology by browning white adipose
tissue and increasing basal metabolic rate. However, the role of the SNS in regulating cardiac remodeling during
cancer cachexia has not been investigated. Chronic elevation in SNS tone is a well-established driver of cardiac
pathology in patients with heart failure by direct stimulation of the heart. Elevated sympathetic tone to other
tissues, such as the bone marrow, also drives cardiovascular pathology by decreasing Cxcl12 expression in
bone marrow, resulting in augmented myelopoiesis and recruitment of inflammatory leukocytes to the
cardiovascular system. Using a model of PDAC-associated cachexia, I found a gene signature indicating adverse
structural remodeling and desensitization of adrenergic receptors in the heart. These observations are consistent
with direct SNS hyperactivity on the heart. Indeed, treatment with a non-selective adrenergic receptor blocker
was able to attenuate loss of cardiac tissue in animals with PDAC cachexia. Furthermore, I found increased
pool of neutrophils in the heart, which was accompanied by a downregulation of bone marrow Cxcl12 expression.
Therefore, based on my preliminary data and recent literature, I hypothesize that SNS hyperactivity mediates
adverse cardiac remodeling during cancer-cachexia. This project proposes to assess the effects of sympathetic
hyperactivity to the heart as well as bone marrow in driving cardiac remodeling during cachexia.
Collectively, this work has broad implications and is directly applicable to identifying new therapeutic targets for
treating cachexia and increasing survival in cancer patients. Achieving the goals of the proposal will: 1) enhance
our understanding of the root cause of cachexia induced cardiac remodeling, 2) provide novel therapeutic targets
for cachexia, and 3) describe novel mechanisms by which adrenergic signaling mediates cardiac stress that is
broadly applicable to several chronic diseases.
项目摘要
卡希克西亚是一种毁灭性的营养不良状态,这是由于食欲不振的协同组合所带来的
并增加了脂肪和瘦质量的代谢。此外,包括心脏在内的多个器官受损
通过这种使人衰弱的状况。虽然许多慢性疾病,例如心力衰竭,肾衰竭和肝硬化
与恶病质有关,这种疾病在胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)中尤为普遍。
我们的实验室和其他实验室在各种模型中表现出重大的结构和功能重塑
癌症恶病质。在没有化学疗法的癌症中也观察到了心脏不良适应性的变化
缓存患者,限制可忍受的治疗选择和生活质量。但是,目前没有

因此,根据我的初步数据和最近的文献,我假设SNS多动症媒体

总的来说,这项工作具有广泛的影响,直接适用于确定新的治疗目标
治疗恶病质和增加癌症患者的生存率。实现提案的目标将:1)增强
我们对缓存诱导心脏重塑的根本原因的理解,2)提供新的热目标
