Brainstem GLP-1 signalling contributes to cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome in the rat

Abstract: The cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS) is a frequent and severe condition in cancer patients. Currently, no pharmacological treatment is approved for the therapy of CACS. Centrally, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is expressed in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and is implicated in malaise, nausea and food aversion. The NTS is reciprocally connected to brain sites implicated in the control of energy balance including the area postrema (AP), which mediates CACS in certain tumour models. Given the role… Show more

“…In addition to not assessing CFA, these studies differ from the previous findings by usage of a shorter habituation period to the kaolin pellets [68] or lower dose of intra-NTS exendin-4 [67]. Consistent with a role for NTS GLP-1R signaling in mediating the nausea outcomes induced by this system, GLP-1R blockade attenuates anorexia and weight loss when infused into the NTS of tumor-bearing rats [153], and reduces pica induced by icv infusion in cisplatin-treated rats treated [154].…”

“…Selective ablation of NTS PPG neurons prevents stress-induced hyperphagia in mice but has no effect on long-term ad libitum food intake, body weight, or glucose tolerance [90]. These data suggest that NTS PPG neurons are not essential for long-term regulation of food intake but are required for the short-term hypophagia in response to stress [738,739].…”

“…Indeed, the GLP‐1 agonist and insulin sensitizer exendin‐4 partially prevents cachexia in tumor‐bearing rats . Recent evidence further suggests that brainstem GLP‐1 signaling influences body weight loss and lean/fat mass in cachectic rodents . As for GIP, its plasma levels decrease in cachexia in rheumatoid arthritis patients .…”
