JQ1 prolongs survival, and prevents muscle and white fat wasting. a Body weight chart of control, vehicle, (−)-JQ1, and (+)-JQ1-treated C26-tumor-bearing mice. Day 0: tumor implantation. Day 1: JQ1 treatment started. Age-matched normal control mice were treated with vehicle (animals per group: n = 10). Data represent means ± SD. Statistical significance refers to (+)-JQ1-treated animals vs. vehicle and (−)-JQ1-treated animals. b Chart displaying food intake in the six animal groups described in a. Data represent means ± SD. Statistical significance refers to (+)-JQ1-treated animals vs. vehicle and (−)-JQ1-treated animals. c Survival rate of C26-tumor-bearing mice was measured in two animal groups: vehicle (veh) and (+)-JQ1 20 mg/kg/day. Treatment was started either at day 1 (gray line) or when the average weight loss was 10% (blue line) (animals per group: n = 7). d Epididymal adipose tissue was weighted at day of sacrifice (day 12) in the six animal groups (animals per group: n = 10). Data represent means ± SD. eg TA, EDL, and soleus were weighted 12 days after C26 cell implantation (animals per group: n = 10). Data represent means ± SD. h TA muscle morphology of Ctrl and C26-tumor-bearing mice treated with vehicle and (+)-JQ1 (animals per group: n = 3). (+)-JQ1 was administered at the dose of 20 mg/kg/day. Scale bar: 100 μm. i Treadmill test was performed on control and C26-tumor-bearing mice treated with (−)-JQ1 and (+)-JQ1 (20 mg/kg/day) at days 7 and 14 (animals per group: n = 4). Data represent means ± SD. Statistical significance refers to (+)-JQ1-treated animals vs. vehicle and (−)-JQ1-treated animals. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. “a” indicates statistical significance compared to control; “b” indicates statistical significance compared to C26 + vehicle; “c” indicates statistical significance compared to C26 + (−)-JQ1 20 mg/kg/day; “d” indicates statistical significance compared to C26 + (−)-JQ1 50 mg/kg/day. Statistical analysis was performed by using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test in a, b, dg, and i log-rank (Mantel–Cox) test in c
