Abstract Objective: To investigate the effect of zinc-alpha2-glycoprotein (ZAG) on lipid metabolism of mice with cancer cachexia (CC) using a mouse model of colon adenocarcinoma cachexia. Methods: A mouse model of colon adenocarcinoma cachexia was well established by inoculating mouse colon cancer cell line, colon 26 into BALB/c mice. A total of 18 BALB/c mice were evenly divided into 3 groups randomly: healthy control (HC) group, tumor control (TC) group and cancer cachexia (CC) group (n=6). Adjacent non-tumor tissues and adenocarcinoma of colon (AC) tissues isolated from TC group and CC group were collected to determine ZAG mRNA and protein level. ZAG protein concentration and mRNA level in subcutaneous adipose tissues of each group were determined, while the correlation between ZAG mRNA level and weight loss was confirmed. mRNA expression level of ZAG and adiponectin in serum were measured, and the correlation between them in TC group and CC group was analyzed. Finally, weight was recorded in cancer cachexitic model of mice with colon adenocarcinoma transplantation followed by adenovirus-constructed pcDNA or pcDNA-ZAG injection. Results: ZAG mRNA and protein level of AC tissues and adipose tissues in CC group was significantly higher than those in TC group (P<0.05). ZAG mRNA level was correlated positively with weight loss in adipose tissue. Besides, the serum mRNA levels of ZAG and adiponectin in CC group were significantly higher than those in TC group and were positively correlated. In addition, mice weight was observably reduced after treatment with pcDNA-ZAG (P<0.05). Conclusion: Enhanced ZAG can significantly promote the steatolysis, and affect the weight in colon adenocarcinoma cachexia mice.
