Antibiotic treatment inhibits paclitaxel chemotherapy-induced activity deficits in female mice.
PloS One 2023
Chemotherapy, a mainstay in the treatment of cancer, is associated with severe and debilitating side effects. Side effects can be physical (e.g., gastrointestinal distress, anemia, and hair loss) or mental (e.g., fatigue, cognitive dysfunction). Chemotherapy is known to alter the gut microbiota; thus, communication through the gut-brain axis may influence behavioral side effects. Here, we used a clinically-relevant paclitaxel chemotherapy regimen in combination with antibiotics to test the hypothesis that gut microbes contribute to chemotherapy-associated fatigue-like behaviors in female mice. Data presented suggest that chemotherapy-altered gut microbes contribute to fatigue-like behaviors in mice by disrupting energy homeostasis.
