Blueberry malvidin-3-galactoside modulated gut microbial dysbiosis and microbial TCA cycle KEGG pathway disrupted in a liver cancer model induced by HepG2 cells by Zhen Cheng, Jie Lin, Ningxuan Gao, Xiyun Sun, Xianjun Meng, Ruihai Liu, Yunen Liu, Weisheng Wang, Bin Li, Yuehua Wang

“…Our results showed that blueberry M3G increased the microbial diversity and regulated the structure of intestinal microbiota in mice, such as increasing the abundance of Clostridia (butyric acid-producing bacteria), Oscillospira and Ruminococcus, and reducing the abundance of pathogenic Erysipelotrichi. Compared with the group of liver cancer (LC) and 5-fluorouracil (5 F), blueberry M3G significantly regulated microbial TCA cycle KEGG pathway via improving the expression of key proteins (porA, DLAT, aceE, PC and OGDH). …”
