The present invention relates to a composition for the improvement and treatment of muscle diseases and cachexia, wherein diflunisal has the effect of promoting the differentiation and proliferation of myogenic cells, and further has the effect of improving and treating cachexia induced by chronic diseases such as muscle diseases or cancer through effects such as increased muscle mass and recovery of muscle strength.

The present invention relates to the use of an s100a8 / a9 and complement 3 inhibitor in the preparation of a drug for treating or preventing cachexia. The treatment or prevention of cachexia comprises increasing the body weight, lean body mass and fat mass, and increasing food intake in a cachectic subject, or preventing fat mass consumption, slowing the rate of body weight loss, the rate of fat mass loss and the rate of lean body mass loss, counteracting anorexia, muscle strength loss, fatigue and body weight loss, or improving abnormal biochemical results. Provided is a new understanding for the mechanism of energy balance regulation in cancer cachexia, with an emphasis on the effects of S100a8 / a9 and C3 in cancer cachexia. The inhibition of S100a8 / a9 and complement 3 can promote fat recovery and increase food intake. Particularly, it is verified that an S100a8 / a9 inhibitor can prevent body weight loss, especially adipose tissue loss, in a cachectic subject, and significantly increases food intake in the subject.

This invention relates to the use of S100a8 / a9 and complement 3 inhibitors in the preparation of medicaments for the treatment or prevention of cachexia, wherein the treatment or prevention of cachexia involves increasing the body weight, lean body mass, fat mass, and food intake of cachectic subjects, or preventing fat loss, slowing the rate of weight loss, slowing the rate of fat mass loss, slowing the rate of lean body mass loss, resisting anorexia, resisting muscle weakness, resisting fatigue, resisting weight loss, and improving abnormal biochemical results. This invention provides a new understanding of the mechanism of energy balance regulation in cancer cachexia, focusing on the roles of S100a8 / a9 and C3 in cancer cachexia. This invention finds that inhibiting S100a8 / a9 and complement 3 can promote fat recovery and increase food intake. In particular, it demonstrates that S100a8 / a9 inhibitors can prevent the loss of body weight, especially adipose tissue, in cachectic subjects and significantly increase their food intake.

The present invention relates to a novel use of a CXCL5 inhibitor and a novel antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof usable as a CXCL5 inhibitor. The novel use of a CXCL5 inhibitor and the novel antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof usable as a CXCL5 inhibitor of the present invention enable the treatment or prevention of cancer cachexia or muscle disease, enable cancer cachexia or muscle disease to be diagnosed with high efficiency, and enable a drug for the treatment or prevention of cancer cachexia or muscle disease to be screened with high efficiency.
