Outline of Final Research Achievements

The occurrence of cardiac dysfunction in cancer patients is the second leading cause of death after cancer death, but the details of myocardial damage derived from the cancer itself have not been clarified. Therefore, when an examination was conducted using in vitro and in vivo cachexia models, myocardial mitochondrial damage was induced by the cachexia. In the background, suppression of mitochondrial respiration and generation of oxidative stress were promoted. When a medium-chain fatty acid was used to promote mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, myocardial damage was suppressed. This finding is considered an important outcome expected to lead to dietary interventions that enable myocardial protection in cancer patients.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、がん性心筋障害ががんそのものによりミトコンドリア呼吸の低下と酸化スレスの産生の増大を介して惹起されることが示された。これに対して、中鎖脂肪酸とグルコースの併用はがん性心筋障害を予防した。がん性心筋障害に対する予防や治療はほとんど知見がなかったが、本研究により食事介入によるがん性心筋障害の軽減が可能になると考えられる。より詳細な検討を今後加えることにより、早期の臨床応用を実現し、がん患者の社会的活動性や治療忍容性の改善をもたらし、予後改善につながることが期待される。
