Abstract
Cancer cachexia is a debilitating and lethal consequence of many advanced cancers. REDD1, a negative regulator of mTORC1 activity, is an emerging target in cachexia. Our data show that skeletal muscle REDD1 expression is increased in LLC-induced cancer cachexia. Mice lacking REDD1 have attenuated skeletal muscle atrophy that is likely due to maintaining both protein synthesis and inhibiting protein degradation.
