MMP12 knockout prevents weight and muscle loss in tumor-bearing mice

Abstract Background Colorectal cancer is a malignant gastrointestinal cancer, in which some advanced patients would develop cancer cachexia (CAC). CAC is defined as a multi-factorial syndrome characterized by weight loss and muscle loss (with or without fat mass), leading to progressive dysfunction,...

Methods ApcMin/+; MMP12−/− mice were obtained by crossing ApcMin/+ mice with MMP12 knockout (MMP12 −/−) mice. Histological scores were assessed using hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining.
