Tumors kill patients not only through well-characterized perturbations to their local environment, but also through poorly understood pathophysiological interactions with distant tissues. Here we use a Drosophila tumor model to investigate the elusive mechanisms underlying such long-range interactions. Transplantation of tumors into adults induces robust wasting of adipose, muscle and gonadal tissues that are distant from the tumor, phenotypes that resemble the cancer cachexia seen in human patients. Interestingly, malignant but not benign tumors induce peripheral wasting. We identify the Insulin Growth Factor Binding Protein (IGFBP) homolog ImpL2, an antagonist of insulin signaling, as a secreted factor mediating wasting. ImpL2 is sufficient to drive tissue loss, and insulin activity is reduced in peripheral tissues of tumor-bearing hosts. Importantly, knocking downs ImpL2 specifically in the tumor ameliorates wasting phenotypes. We propose that the tumor-secreted IGFBP creates insulin resistance in distant tissues and thus drives a systemic wasting response.
