We assessed the role of FFA1 and FFA4 receptors in the mouse model of cachexia induced by Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cell implantation. Naturally occurring ligands such as \u03b1-linolenic acid (ALA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the synthetic FFA1\/FFA4 agonists GW9508 and TUG891, or the selective FFA1 GW1100 or FFA4 AH7614 antagonists were tested. FFA1 and FFA4 expression and other cachexia-related parameters were evaluated. GW9508 and TUG891 decreased tumor weight in LLC-bearing mice. Regarding cachexia-related end points, ALA, DHA, and the preferential FFA1 agonist GW9508 rescued body weight loss. Skeletal muscle mass was reestablished by ALA treatment, but this was not reflected in the fiber cross-sectional areas (CSA) measurement. Otherwise, TUG891, GW1100, or AH7614 reduced the muscle fiber CSA. Treatments with ALA, GW9508, GW1100, or AH7614 restored white adipose tissue (WAT) depletion. As for inflammatory outcomes, ALA improved anemia, whereas GW9508 reduced splenomegaly. Concerning behavioral impairments, ALA and GW9508 rescued locomotor activity, whereas ALA improved motor coordination. Additionally, DHA improved grip strength. Notably, GW9508 restored abnormal brain glucose metabolism in different brain regions. The GW9508 treatment increased leptin levels, without altering uncoupling protein-1 downregulation in visceral fat. LLC-cachectic mice displayed FFA1 upregulation in subcutaneous fat, but not in visceral fat or gastrocnemius muscle, whereas FFA4 was unaltered. Overall, the present study shed new light on FFA1 and FFA4 receptors\u2019 role in metabolic disorders, indicating FFA1 receptor agonism as a promising strategy in mitigating cancer cachexia. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpendo.00509.2019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,7]],"date-time":"2020-09-07T10:35:27Z","timestamp":1599474927000},"page":"E877-E892","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Targeting FFA1 and FFA4 receptors in cancer-induced cachexia"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"319","author":[{"given":"Raquel D.
