Regular exercise is effective in prevention & treatment of chronic diseases. Exercise can reduce late toxicity of chemotherapy, commonly found in cancer survivors, which is yet to be translated into clinical practice.
Mechanisms of exercise benefits in oncologic patients are far from being elucidated, and include increase in muscle mass, reduction of fat mass, systemic inflammation and cardiometabolic risk. Synchronization of exercise adaptive response is, to an extent, mediated by bioactive molecules released from muscle, with anti-inflammatory & tumor-suppressing properties. Muscle satellite cells are a source of regeneration, muscle structural integrity & functional capacity. Phenotypes of muscle cells, such as secretory profile, lipid & glucose metabolism, mirror clinical phenotypes of the donor. Importantly, muscle cells' metabolism in vitro can be modulated by 8-12 week training in vivo. Epigenetic mechanisms regulating muscle & systemic metabolism in cancer survivors are not yet understood.
Full description
Aims:
(iii) on metabolic characteristics of primary skeletal muscle cells;
The generated results will enable us (i) to gain a better insight into pathomechanisms of muscle-associated chemotherapy-induced late toxicity and the role of skeletal muscle & systemic mediators in the exercise-induced health benefits in TGCC survivors; and (ii) to validate the effectiveness of the individually-tailored exercise intervention in reducing chemotherapy-related toxicity in patients with TGCC, with the aim to transfer this knowledge into clinical practice.
