Pancreatic cancer-associated organ dysfunction promotes muscle autophagy and contributes to peripheral tissue wasting

Yetiş Gültekin, Sharanya Sivanand, Kian Moritz Eghbalian, Anna M. Barbeau, Keene L. Abbott, George M. Eng, Victoria Tavernier, Brian T. Do, Heaji Shin, Elif Ozcelik, Shidong Hu, Tenzin Kunchok, Millenia Waite, William M. Rideout, Yigit Kaan Kizlier, , Matthew G. Vander Heiden

This study shows pancreatic cancer disrupts normal pancreatic function, leading to systemic nutrient depletion and muscle wasting, with autophagy in muscle playing a key role in nutrient redistribution to support tumor growth.

Keene L. Abbott, Sonu Subudhi, Raphaël Ferreira, Yetiş Gültekin, Sophie Charlotte Steinbuch, Muhammad Bin Munim, Diya L. Ramesh, Sophie Elisabeth Honeder, Ashwin Srinivasan Kumar, Michelle Wu, Jacob Hansen, Anna Shevzov-Zebrun, Edrees H. Rashan, Kian Moritz Eghbalian, Sharanya Sivanand, , Matthew G. Vander Heiden

This study shows that single nutrients do not determine breast cancer metastasis sites, and identifies purine synthesis as a key factor across multiple tissues.
