An Oatp transporter-mediated steroid sink promotes tumor-induced cachexia in <i>Drosophila</i>
2020-11-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome associated with many types of tumors and characterized by a combination of anorexia, loss of body weight, catabolic alterations and systemic inflammation. We developed a tumor model in Drosophila larvae causing a cachexia-like syndrome, and used it to evaluate the role of steroid hormone imbalance in cachectic alterations. Cachectic larvae show reduce...
