- Cancer cachexia, affecting up to 80% of patients with advanced cancer, is characterized by metabolic and inflammatory dysregulation driven by tumour- and host-derived factors. Although cytokines are central to cachexia pathogenesis, their circulating profiles and transcriptional relevance across models and sexes remain incompletely defined. We characterized plasma cytokines and skeletal muscle inflammatory signatures in multiple cachexia models, including Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC), Colon-26 (C26) and Apc mice. Animals were monitored for 4 weeks (LLC), 25 days (C26) or until ∼20 weeks of age (Apc) per model appropriate endpoints. Publicly available RNA-sequencing datasets from gastrocnemius (LLC) and tibialis anterior (C26 and Apc) muscles were integrated with plasma profiling using a Mouse Cytokine/Chemokine 32-Plex assay. To enhance accessibility and reproducibility, we developed an interactive Shiny application - thecachexiatlas/Cytokine Explorer - enabling dynamic visualization of cytokine levels, transcriptional signatures and phenotype correlations across models and sexes. Cytokine receptor encoding genes (Il6ra, Il4ra, Csf3, Osmr) and inflammatory pathways were consistently enriched in skeletal muscle of cachectic animals across models and sexes. Among circulating cytokines, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was uniquely elevated in all models and both sexes. Elevated G-CSF levels exhibited stronger negative correlations with tibialis anterior muscle mass than the commonly used cytokine interleukin (IL)-6, particularly when expressed as the ratio of G-CSF to the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-13. The G-CSF:IL-13 ratio may represent a robust global biomarker of cachexia severity. The Cytokine Explorer Shiny app provides an open, interactive platform to facilitate hypothesis generation and advance research in cancer cachexia. - Source: PubMed

Morena FranciellySchrems Eleanor RCabrera Ana ReginaMuhyudin RuqaizaShakeri SepidehTsitkanou StavroulaViggars MarkWashington Tyrone AGreene Nicholas P - Cassava-based fufu is widely consumed but nutritionally limited, particularly in micronutrients. Incorporation of orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) may enhance its nutritional value. This study evaluated the nutrient composition, microbial safety, functional properties and contribution to recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of cassava-orange-fleshed sweet potato composite fufu flour for adults and children. Four blends were formulated: CONTROL (100% CF, Control), CSF1 (90% CF:10% OFSPF), CSF2 (80% CF:20% OFSPF), and CSF3 (70% CF:30% OFSPF). Nutrient composition, functional properties, microbial safety, pasting behavior, carotene content, and sensory attributes were analyzed using standard methods. Moisture (5.54-6.41%), ash (1.05-2.10%), crude fiber (0.23-1.91%), fat (1.80-9.96%), protein (2.02-7.82%), and carbohydrates (77.60-87.32%) varied significantly (p < 0.05) across blends. Pasting properties revealed: peak time (46.4 -5.63 s), pasting temperature (74.47-77.53 °C). Peak viscosity (26.0-44.6 RVU), minimum viscosity (12.67-14.83RVU), Ultimate viscosity (18.1-31.5 RVU), Attenuation value (142.5-354.5 RVU), and regeneration value (63.0-208 BVU). These results indicate that the inclusion of OFSPF modifies starch gelatinization behavior and improves paste stability. Microbial counts remained within safe limits during storage, with sample CSF2 (80% CF:20% OFSPF) and CSF1 (90% CF:10% OFSPF) having no fungal growth at 35 days. Although CSF3 exhibited the highest carotene (276.87 µg/g) and protein contents (7.82%), CSF2 provided a more balanced combination of nutrient enhancement and functional properties, and was therefore considered the most suitable formulation. This product has potential as a food-based strategy to combat micronutrient deficiencies in vulnerable populations. - Source: PubMed

Elemuo G KUdemba C ONjuwa E GOnwuzuruike U AEmetole J M - Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are key drivers of tumor progression. This study examined how three-dimensional (3D) culture, hypoxia, and cancer-derived soluble factors influence the transformation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) into inflammatory CAFs (iCAFs). hMSCs from bone marrow, placenta, and chorion were cultured in 2D, in Matrigel-based 3D systems, under hypoxia, and with soluble factors from colon cancer cells (HT29, HCT116). 3D culture strongly induced iCAF markers (IL1α, CSF3, IL6) while reducing myofibroblastic CAF markers (CCN2, MYL9, TAGLN). Hypoxia and cancer factors further enhanced this phenotype, promoting IL1α/IL6 secretion and shifting their influence from suppressing to stimulating cancer cell growth and angiogenesis. Mechanistically, these changes were associated with YAP/TAZ down-regulation, and genetic depletion of YAP/TAZ alone was sufficient to convert hMSCs into iCAFs even in 2D culture. These findings highlight YAP/TAZ as critical regulators of hMSC-to-CAF transformation, with implications for therapeutic strategies targeting tumor stroma. - Source: PubMed

Chen QianZhang LuChen BiyingLi MengjieZhang MuzixianLiu YirouSun MengJiang YuchaoHong MengtingDing YinuoYang YingshuoNi JiaojiaoYing JieerZhou TianhuaZhuo Wei - In numerous demyelinating diseases, brain tissue exhibits excessive inflammatory responses that promote the activation of immune cells, thereby exacerbating cellular damage and amplifying inflammatory cascades. Emerging evidence highlights receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a pivotal regulator of neuroinflammation, and its dysregulation contributes to the pathogenesis of various central nervous system (CNS) disorders. While our previous work established that RIPK1 kinase inhibition promotes remyelination in acute demyelinating models, however, the precise mechanisms of RIPK1 in microglial activation remain unclear. Here, to investigate RIPK1's role in microglial polarization, we employed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 cells and the lysolecithin (LPC)-induced demyelination mouse model. By combining RIPK1 kinase-dead knock-in mice and the pharmacological inhibitor Nec-1s，we performed experiments in both in vitro and in vivo models. We demonstrated that RIPK1 inhibition significantly attenuates M1 microglial polarization and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Mechanistically, we identified that RIPK1 orchestrates the expression of colony-stimulating factor 3 (Csf3), which subsequently activates the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Pharmacological inhibition of RIPK1 decreased Csf3 expression, leading to reduced phosphorylation of JAK2/STAT3 and subsequent suppression of M1 polarization. Our findings reveal a novel RIPK1-Csf3-JAK2/STAT3 signaling axis governing microglial polarization and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target for demyelinating diseases. - Source: PubMed
