Gut Microbiota-Derived <span style="font-variant: small-caps">l</span>-Histidine/Imidazole Propionate Axis Fights against the Radiation-Induced Cardiopulmonary Injury

Radiation-induced cardiopulmonary injuries are the most common and intractable side effects that are entwined with radiotherapy for thorax cancers. However, the therapeutic options for such complications have yielded disappointing results in clinical applications. Here, we reported that gut microbio...

Gut Microbiota-Derived <span style="font-variant: small-caps">l</span>-Histidine/Imidazole Propionate Axis Fights against the Radiation-Induced Cardiopulmonary Injury
description Radiation-induced cardiopulmonary injuries are the most common and intractable side effects that are entwined with radiotherapy for thorax cancers.

Here, we reported that gut microbiota-derived <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l-</span>Histidine and its secondary metabolite imidazole propionate (ImP) fought against radiation-induced cardiopulmonary injury in an entiric flora-dependent manner in mouse models. Local chest irradiation decreased the level of <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l</span>-Histidine in fecal pellets, which was increased following fecal microbiota transplantation. <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l</span>-Histidine replenishment via an oral route retarded the pathological process of lung and heart tissues and improved lung respiratory and heart systolic function following radiation exposure. <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l</span>-Histidine preserved the gut bacterial taxonomic proportions shifted by total chest irradiation but failed to perform radioprotection in gut microbiota-deleted mice.
