Description

In this study, we identified cardiac dysfunction in azomethane and dextran sodium sulfate-induced colorectal cancer mice. Intestinal microbes from healthy mice were transferred to colorectal cancer mice, which vastly reversed the disorder of the gut microbiota and effectively alleviated cardiac dysfunction. Moreover, FMT regulated the expression of serum metabolites such as andrographolide, UTP, and tiamulin, as well as cytokines like TGF-β, IRF5, and β-MHC in the heart. These findings uncover that the disturbed gut microbiota causes cardiac dysfunction in colorectal cancer mice by modulating the expression of serum metabolites and cytokines, which could be alleviated by treatment with FMT.
