Abstract:
:Several lines of evidence have postulated that reduction in the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is involved in cachexia induction in cancer patients. Recently we have demonstrated that murine melanoma B16 has the ability to reduce the LPL activity and thereby induce cachexia symptoms in mice following intraperitoneal inoculation. In order to further investigate the relationship between LPL activity and cachectic syndrome, cachexia models other than melanoma B16 are required. However, there are few animal cachexia models in which LPL activity is involved in the induction of cachectic symptoms. In this study, cachectic symptoms and plasma LPL activity were investigated in mice bearing EL-4 mouse lymphoma. In EL-4 bearing mice the body weight including tumor weight in the abdominal cavity was rather higher than that of normal mice without tumor, whereas weights of carcass wet and gastrocnemius muscle were significantly decreased in EL-4 bearing mice. Elevated blood levels of triglyceride and non-esterified fatty acid were observed in mice bearing EL-4, associated with the impaired plasma LPL activity. Overall, this study indicated that EL-4 lymphoma in mice results in a severe cachexia which is possibly related to impaired LPL activity and also provided a useful cachexia model for understanding the role of LPL in the development of cancer cachexia.
