Deciphering molecular crosstalk mechanisms between skeletal muscle atrophy and KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer: a literature review
20 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background and Objective: Cachexia-induced skeletal muscle atrophy is a critical manifestation in Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS)-mutant pancreatic cancer (PC) patients, predominantly characterized by a shift in metabolic equilibrium towards catabolism that accelerates protein degradation in myofibers and leads to muscle atrophy. This metabolic reprogramming not only supports tumor growth but...
