ABSTRACT
Cancer cachexia is highly prevalent in gastric cancer patients and characterized by decreased food consumption and body weight. We previously created a rat model of cancer cachexia using MKN45cl85 and 85As2 cells derived from human gastric cancer. The 85As2 cells induced cachexia more potently compared to MKN45cl85 cells. To clarify the mechanism underlying the difference in the cachexia-inducing ability of these cells, we conducted DNA microarray analysis, focusing on cell proliferation and the production of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a cachexia-inducing factor. The plasma human LIF levels of 85As2-induced cachexic rats increased as symptoms worsened, whereas the plasma levels of MKNcl85 were low. 85As2 cells displayed more genetic changes compared to MKN45cl85 cells, which were related to Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4/5 signaling. Stimulation of both cells with TLR4 (lipopolysaccharide) or TLR5 (flagellin) agonists did not affect proliferation. However, in 82As2 cells, LIF production was significantly increased by stimulation with TLR5, which was suppressed by an inhibitor of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-1/4, which are important factors in the TLR5 signaling pathway. The increase in LIF production resulting from activation of the TLR5 signaling pathway may contribute to the cachexia-inducing ability of 85As2 cells.
