Abstract
METHODS: Male C57BL/6J mice (12 wk of age) were injected with 1 × 106 LLC cells or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) subcutaneously in the right flank, and tissue was collected 26-28 d after cell injection. Tumor volume was measured every 5 d throughout the study to calculate the tumor growth rate. Fifteen days after tumor inoculation, a subset of PBS (n = 11) and LLC (n = 16) mice were individually housed in metabolic Comprehensive Laboratory Animal Monitoring System cages for 5 d. RESULTS: LLC mice exhibited greater body weight loss (-5.1%), decreased muscle mass (-7%), decreased fat mass (-22%), and increased plasma interleukin-6 (212%) compared with PBS mice. Before the onset of cachexia, total cage activity was decreased in tumor-bearing mice. Cage activity was negatively associated with tumor mass and positively associated with hindlimb muscle mass. In addition, LLC mice had greater lipid oxidation than PBS mice. CONCLUSIONS: LLC mice exhibit early-onset physical inactivity and altered systemic lipid oxidation, which are associated with the eventual development of cachexia.
