Targeting VEGF-A in myeloid cells enhances natural killer cell responses to chemotherapy and ameliorates cachexia

Chemerin is an adipokine often downregulated in tumours. Here the authors show that chemotherapy induces chemerin production by endothelial cells, leading to cachexia, and that VEGF ablation in myeloid cells prevents cachexia in a chemerin-dependent manner, and improves chemotherapeutic effects.
