Abstract

<p>This file contains: • Supplemental Methods • Supplemental Figure S1. Muscle-specific overexpression of the AT1 but not the MasR regulates skeletal muscle fiber size in healthy mice. • Supplemental Figure S2. Representative images of differentiated C2C12 myotubes incubated for 48 h in normal horse serum and treated with vehicle control or the ACE/Ang II/AT1 axis activators Ang II or A779 • Supplemental Figure S3. Genetic MasR overexpression was induced by transducing C2C12 myoblasts with a Tet-regulated MasR lentivirus or empty lentivirus and treating differentiated myotubes with doxycylin • Supplemental Figure S4. Low dose AVE 0991 induces small but significant improvements in food and water intake and weight loss in severely cachectic C-26 tumor-bearing mice • Supplemental Figure S5. Low dose AVE 0991 (1 mg/kg) causes an oxidative-to-glycolytic shift in fiber types in TA muscles from severely cachectic C-26 tumor-bearing mice • Supplemental Figure S6. High dose AVE 0991 treatment enhanced cumulative water intake and movement as assessed by the number of beam breaks in severely cachectic C-26 tumor-bearing mice fed ad libitum but not in those pair-fed to vehicle treated controls • Supplemental Figure S7. Pharmacological Ang-(1-7)/MasR activation protects against Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC) cancer cell induced muscle fiber atrophy in vitro • Supplemental Figure S8. Specificity of our custom anti-AT1 peptide compared to a commercially available anti-AT1 antibody • Supplemental Table S1. Primers used to amplify AT1 and MasR genes • Supplemental Table S2. Human cancer cachexia study group characteristics • Supplemental Table S3. List of upregulated proteins in AVE 0991 treated serum starved myotubes • Supplemental Table S4. List of down regulated proteins in AVE 0991 treated serum starved myotubes</p>
