Integrated Microbiome and Metabolome Analysis Reveals Correlations Between Gut Microbiota Components and Metabolic Profiles in Mice With Mitoxantrone-Induced Cardiotoxicity by Zhang Q, Liang D, Zhang C, Ye L, Sun P, Zhu H, Zhao Y, Li Y, Guan Y, Zhang H

“…We aim to explore the possible correlations between gut microbiota (GM) compositions and cardiometabolic (CM) disorder in MTX-triggered cardiotoxicity mice.Methods: MTX cumulative dose of 6 mg/kg was administered to healthy Kunming male mice to trigger cardiotoxicity, with 1 mg/kg twice weekly for a duration of 3 weeks. Plasma CK-MB and LDH levels were determined, and the heart tissue histopathology was assessed, followed by utilizing an integrated liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based heart metabolomics study alongside the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing method to assess MTX impact on GM and CM profiles in mice, establishing associations between GM and CM profiles through the Pearson correlation coefficient calculation.Results: MTX caused CK-MB and LDH level elevations and cardiotoxicity in our mouse model. …”
