Abstract Fatigue is the most common symptom of cancer at diagnosis, yet causes and effective treatments remain elusive. As tumors can be highly inflammatory, it is generally accepted that inflammation mediates cancer-related fatigue. However, evidence to support this assertion is mostly correlational. In this study, we directly tested the hypothesis that fatigue results from propagation of tumor-induced inflammation to the brain and activation of the central pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1 (IL-1). The heterotopic syngeneic murine head and neck cancer model (mEER) caused systemic inflammation and increased expression of Il1b in the brain while inducing fatigue-like behaviors characterized by decreased voluntary wheel running and exploratory activity. Expression of Il1b in the brain was not associated with any alterations in motivation, measured by responding in a progressive ratio schedule of food reinforcement, depressive-like behaviors, or energy balance. Decreased wheel running occurred prior to Il1b detection in the brain, when systemic inflammation was minimal. Further, mice null for two components of IL-1β signaling, the type 1 interleukin- 1 receptor or the receptor adapter protein MyD88, were not protected from tumor- induced decreases in wheel running, despite attenuated cytokine action and expression. Behavioral and inflammatory analysis of 4 additional syngeneic tumor models revealed that tumors can induce fatigue regardless of their systemic or central nervous system inflammatory potential. Together our results show that brain IL-1 signaling is not necessary for tumor-related fatigue, dissociating this type of cancer sequela from systemic cytokine expression. 2 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 28, 2021. © 2017 American Association for Cancer Research.

Introduction Cancer-related fatigue is among the most common and distressing presenting symptoms of malignancy. Although nearly all patients report fatigue after treatment, various studies report the prevalence of fatigue prior to cancer treatment ranging from 25 to >50% of patients depending on sample and methodology (1). Fatigue strongly impacts quality of life (2) and physical functioning (3), and has been linked to poorer survival in colorectal cancer patients whose fatigue alters daytime activity patterns (4). The search for fatigue-directed treatments has been largely unsuccessful, yielding equivocal results with psychostimulants (5) and only modest benefit with exercise (6), a challenging intervention for severely fatigued patients. Multiple studies have linked cancer-related fatigue to psychosocial factors including pre-existing fatigue, depression, and childhood stress (7). However, fatigue remains prevalent in patients without these risk factors and is observed in animal models of cancer in the form of reduced motor activity (8,9), strongly supporting a conserved biological mechanism for cancer-related fatigue. Multiple biological contributions to cancer-related fatigue have been investigated, including anemia, endocrine dysregulation, and altered metabolism (7). However, much of the attention has focused on the role of inflammatory cytokine signaling in the pathogenesis of fatigue. Studies carried out mainly in rodents injected with endotoxin demonstrate that peripheral inflammatory signals are propagated into the central nervous system, where cytokines act to cause fatigue, anorexia, and depressive-like behaviors (10). Intracerebroventricular administration of cytokines is sufficient to induce these behaviors (11), and blockade of cytokine signaling within the brain can abrogate 3 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 28, 2021. © 2017 American Association for Cancer Research.

Cancer cells can both produce inflammatory cytokines, and induce potent local and systemic inflammatory responses in situ (13). Cancer treatment is also associated with an increase in circulating cytokine levels (14,15). Studies in both humans and rodents demonstrate enhanced cytokine expression in response to various stressors (16,17), mirroring the association between early life stress and fatigue seen in cancer patients. These converging data point to the possibility that fatigue and other behavioral changes caused by cancer are also mediated via propagation of peripheral inflammation into the brain (1,7,10,18). Over the past 15 years, multiple researchers have investigated this connection, with the preponderance of studies focusing on the relationship between inflammation and fatigue during and after cancer therapy (7). Although associations between fatigue and circulating cytokines have been often reported in both the clinical and preclinical settings, data supporting the inflammatory hypothesis of fatigue have been entirely correlational in nature; few published accounts support a causative relationship between inflammatory cytokines and cancer-related fatigue, but they rely on murine models of cancer that quickly progress to cachexia (19,20). In the present study, we used a syngeneic murine model of human papillomavirus-positive head and neck cancer (mEER) (21,22), which reliably induces expression of interleukin-1 beta (Il1b), interleukin-6 (Il6) and tumor necrosis factor (Tnf) in the liver and Il1b in the brain, and reproducible fatigue-like behavior in the absence of anorexia and cachexia, to ask whether activation of IL-1 signaling is a required intermediary of cancer-related fatigue in the pre-treatment setting. Using voluntary wheel running and novel cage exploratory 4 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 28, 2021. © 2017 American Association for Cancer Research.

    Sickness Behavior and the Metabolic Demand of Immunity: Insight from a Live Bacterial Infection Model. by Robert Michael Johnson A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 8, 2020 Keywords: Immunometabolism, Life-history Theory, Listeria monocytogenes Sickness Behavior, Trade-offs Copyright 2020 by Robert Michael Johnson Approved by Elizabeth Hiltbold Schwartz, Chair, Associate Professor of Biology Michael Greene, Associate Professor of Nutrition Robert Judd, Associate Professor of Pharmacology Kate Buckley, Assistant Professor of Biology Abstract Life-history theory states that animals have access to a finite amount of resources over their lifespan. These resources are allocated between growth, reproduction, and maintenance, and how these resources are allocated will affect the overall fitness of an organism. A fundamental assumption of this theory is that once a resource is utilized by a trait, it cannot be used by another trait. Thus, when the demand for resources for one trait increases, it will come at the cost of the other traits. The host’s immune system is responsible for survival from pathogenic invasions. Therefore, it is a critical part of maintenance. Studies have examined the trade-offs induced by an immune response. The current knowledge on trade-offs incurred during an immune response come from the use of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), non-pathogenic antigens such as sheep red blood cells (SRBCs), or keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). These studies have observed trade-offs with metabolism and weight. Additionally, some of these studies have observed decreased activity, increased fatigue, loss of appetite, and fever.

Sternberg National Institutes of Health National Institute of Mental Health Section on Neuroendocrine Immunology and Behavior Bethesda, MD 20892, USA Abstract Enhanced susceptibility to inflammatory and autoimmune disease can be related to impairments in HPA axis activity and associated hypocortisolism, or to glucocorticoid resistance resulting from impairments in local factors affecting glucocorticoid availability and function, including the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The enhanced inflammation and hypercortisolism that typically characterize stress-related illnesses, such as depression, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease or osteoporosis, may also be related to increased glucocorticoid resistance. This review focuses on impaired GR function as a molecular mechanism of glucocorticoid resistance. Both genetic and environmental factors can contribute to impaired GR function. The evidence that glucocorticoid resistance can be environmentally induced has important implications for management of stress-related inflammatory illnesses and underscores the importance of prevention

We investigated the possibility that this presents a new route of immune-to-brain communication by assessing their role in sickness behaviors relevant for mood disorders. Mice treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) developed despair-like behavior, and administration of an anti- polymorphonuclear antibody abolished LPS-induced despair-like and asocial behaviors, which correlated with the levels of IL-1b expression in the brain. These behavioral changes were directly mediated by the energy-regulating hormone, leptin. Increasing the concentration of endogenous leptin during obesity exacerbated, whereas its neutralization using a specific antiserum attenuated sickness behaviors and importantly the neutrophil transmigrating process. Our results indicate a role for peripheral neutrophils in conveying inflammatory signals to the brain, which appears to be dependent on the energy status of the organism. This constitutes a novel mechanism of immune-to-brain communication relevant to mood disorders.

The mucosal immune tissues represent the largest immune interface with the external world, which includes environment, food, bacteria and emotion. As conditions as diverse as cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease and mental health are increasingly understood to be impacted upon by inflammation (cytokines), interest in the management of immune responsiveness is growing. The innate immune system whilst incapable of developing a memory and traditionally regarded as the unsophisticated arm is now understood to determine adaptive immune activity. The gastrointestinal tract represents the greatest area of interaction between the two components of immune function and natural therapeutics have a legitimate and effective role to play in this area for the management of human health. There have been increasing amounts of data published in last few years confirming and exploring the role of the immune system in the pathophysiology of depression and allied symptoms.1 Whilst it is now well understood, if not yet universally recognised, that one of the downstream consequences of depression is an altered capacity and function of the affected individuals humoral and cellular immune systems.2 Contemporary psychoneuroimmunology opinion has turned this concept upside down creating a paradigm shift; exploring the evolving model that depressive disorders can now be characterised as a set of symptoms driven by hyperactivation of the innate immune systems inflammatory responses.3 Increased inflammation in depressed people.

To date, the causes are unknown. However, recently the condition has been implicated as a chronic sickness behavior state. That is, the adaptive changes in brain and behavior commonly following acute infection (experiences of malaise, fatigue, brain fog and so forth) seem to have become chronic and thus maladaptive, since no infectious agent is present.

  • The Concept of Sickness Behavior: a Brief Chronological Account of Four Key Discoveries R.W
    Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology 87 (2002) 443–450 The concept of sickness behavior: a brief chronological account of four key discoveries R.W. Johnson* Laboratory of Integrative Biology, 390 Animal Science Laboratory, Department of Animal Sciences, University of Illinois, 1207 West Gregory Drive, Urbana, IL 61801, USA Abstract Neurons do not have receptors to detect bacteria or viruses, yet the presence of these microorganisms can cause a sickness behavior syndrome that includes, e.g., fever, anorexia, and lethargy. Because the immune system has receptors capable of detecting these non-cognitive stimuli, how the immune system transmits a message to the brain has been studied to understand why behavior is altered in sick animals. The focus has been on several cytokines secreted by leukocytes; these include interleukin (IL)-1b, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a). These cytokines are secreted by activated mononuclear phagocytic cells, and numerous studies show that both peripheral and central injection of IL-1b, IL-6, and TNF-a induce sickness behavior. Moreover, these cytokines and their receptors are present in the brain and inhibiting the secretion of cytokines or blocking their receptors in the brain blocks or abrogate the behavioral responses induced by inflammatory stimuli. Because the sickness behavior syndrome modulates the immune system and enhances recovery, the interplay between the immune system and central nervous system is an essential part of the overall host defense against pathogenic microorganisms. The purpose of this brief paper is to provide a chronological description of four critical advances that have led to the current understanding of how the immune system communicates with the brain to induce sickness behavior.

  • Interleukin-1 As a Mediator of Fatigue in Disease: a Narrative Review Megan E
    Roerink et al. Journal of Neuroinflammation (2017) 14:16 DOI 10.1186/s12974-017-0796-7 REVIEW Open Access Interleukin-1 as a mediator of fatigue in disease: a narrative review Megan E. Roerink1*, Marieke E. van der Schaaf2, Charles A. Dinarello1,3, Hans Knoop2,4 and Jos W. M. van der Meer1 Abstract Fatigue is commonly reported in a variety of illnesses, and it has major impact on quality of life. Previously, it was thought that fatigue originates in the skeletal muscles, leading to cessation of activity. However, more recently, it has become clear that the brain is the central regulator of fatigue perception. It has been suggested that pro- inflammatory cytokines, especially interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), play a prominent role in the development of central fatigue, and several studies have been performed to elucidate the connection between inflammation and these central processes. In this narrative review, mechanisms of action of IL-1 are described, with special attention to its effect on the central nervous system. In addition, we present a summary of studies that (i) investigated the relationship between circulating IL-1α and IL-1β and fatigue severity and/or (ii) evaluated the effect of inhibiting IL-1 on fatigue. We aim to improve the understanding of fatigue in both inflammatory and non-inflammatory illnesses, which could help develop strategies to treat fatigue more effectively. Reviewing the studies that have been performed, it appears that there is a limited value of measuring circulating IL-1. However, inhibiting IL-1 has a positive effect on severe fatigue in most studies that have been conducted.
