However, the pharmacological mechanism by which it regulates intestinal peristalsis and treats constipation is unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of SHTC on chemotherapy-induced constipation through regulating of gut microbiota and PI3K\/AKT\/AQP3 signaling pathway.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Chemotherapy-induced constipation was induced with 5-Fluorouracil in C57BL\/6 mice. SHTC was administrated with different dosages (100, 200, 400\u202fmg\/kg) for 12\u202fdays. The intestinal tissues were collected for the measurements of intestinal propulsion rate, time of first black stool, and expressions of colonic aquaporin. 16S rRNA sequencing, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) profiling, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) were performed to confirm whether gut microbiota is a key target for SHTC. Finally, the expressions of proteins or genes related to PI3K\/AKT\/AQP3 pathway were detected.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>SHTC markedly improved the pathological manifestations associated with constipation and restored the deregulated gut microbiota. The mice that were given fecal supernatant from SHTC-treated mice showed significant improvement in constipation symptoms. Additionally, SHTC increased the level of acetic acid and upregulated the expression of AQP3, with activation of PI3K\/AKT. Furthermore, the blockade of PI3K reversed the beneficial effect of acetic acid on the expression of AQP3.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings indicated that SHTC effectively relieved 5-FU-induced constipation in mice, mainly by regulating homeostasis of gut microbiota and activating PI3K\/AKT\/AQP3 pathway, making it a potential protective agent against chemotherapy-induced constipation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2025.1596881","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,10]],"date-time":"2025-07-10T05:31:33Z","timestamp":1752125493000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Shouhui Tongbian Capsule ameliorates 5-fluorouracil induced constipation in mice by modulating gut microbiota and activating PI3K\/AKT\/AQP3 signaling pathway"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yawei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chenghong","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lufan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingchun","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuzheng","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"356","DOI":"10.1038\/nrgastro.2017.20","article-title":"Gut microbiota modulation of chemotherapy efficacy and toxicity","volume":"14","author":"Alexander","year":"2017","journal-title":"Nat.
