The purpose of this study was to understand how LJAW can counter chemotherapy-induced emesis <jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic> alteration of gut microbiota. We evaluated the effect of LJAW on cisplatin (DDP)-induced nausea and vomiting using a rat-pica model. Rats react to emetic-producing stimuli with increased kaolin consumption, a phenomenon called pica. The rats were injected with cisplatin and then randomly assigned to the control (DDP), Ondansetron or LJAW. The intake of kaolin and chow diet as well as body weights were recorded every 24 hours. Fecal samples were collected prior to, after three and seven days of treatment. The expression of proteins was measured by western blot. The concentration of cytokines and serotonin was evaluated using ELISA assay kits. Kaolin consumption in rats induced by cisplatin was reduced by 16.5%, 22.5%, and 30.1% in the LJAW group compared to the DDP group at 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours, respectively (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&amp;gt;0.05). LJAW significantly increased the food intake of the rats (13.94 \u00b1 4.73\u00a0g) during the first 24 hours as opposed to the DDP (9.23 \u00b1 3.77\u00a0g) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt;0.05). 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed the abundance of <jats:italic>Bacteroidetes<\/jats:italic> increased in cisplatin treated rats. In addition, cisplatin injection caused an enrichment of <jats:italic>Escherichia-Shigella and Enterococcu<\/jats:italic>s at the genus level. While, enrichment of <jats:italic>Blautia<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Lactobacillus<\/jats:italic> was presented in LJAW treated rats. Serotonin decreased in LJAW treated intestine and medulla oblongata tissues. Further, the protein expression of tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1) a rate limiting enzyme of serotonin was inhibited in LJAW treated rat\u2019s jejunum compared with cisplatin only treated rats. In addition, LJAW downregulated chemotherapy induced elevated inflammation. The results of this study indicated that LJAW is capable of decreasing cisplatin-induced kaolin intake in rat-nausea model (pica), which might be mediated through gut microbiome-induced anti-inflammation and anti-serotonin synthesis functions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2022.876781","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,19]],"date-time":"2022-08-19T06:10:37Z","timestamp":1660889437000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Liujunanwei decoction attenuates cisplatin-induced nausea and vomiting in a Rat-Pica model partially mediated by modulating the gut micsrobiome"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Dongmei","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yufei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"716","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chom.2018.05.003","article-title":"Gut microbiota regulation of tryptophan metabolism in health and disease","volume":"23","author":"Agus","year":"2018","journal-title":"Cell Host Microbe"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fnbeh.2018.00104","article-title":"From the bottom-up: Chemotherapy and gut-brain axis dysregulation","volume":"12","author":"Bajic","year":"2018","journal-title":"Front.
