Mitochondrial fusion and altered beta-oxidation drive muscle wasting in a <i>Drosophila</i> cachexia model

2023-06-24

Abstract excerpt

Cancer cachexia is a tumour-induced wasting syndrome, characterised by extreme loss of skeletal muscle. Defective mitochondria can contribute to muscle wasting; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Using a Drosophila larval model of cancer cachexia, we observed enlarged and dysfunctional muscle mitochondria. Morphological changes were accompanied by upregulation of beta-oxidation proteins and deplet...
