Gut microbiota transplant from chemotherapy-treated to germ-free mice recapitulates many phenotypic markers of bile acid dysregulation. (a) Hepatic Hal’s bile stain for bilirubin (marker of bile accumulation). Positive staining is green to brown in color. (b) Hepatic trichrome stain for collagen (marker of fibrosis). Positive staining is blue. (c) Serum LPS binding protein concentration. (d) Hepatic relative expression of genes involved in BA and xenobiotic metabolism, BA transport, BA sensing, and lipid metabolism. (e) Ileal expression of BA receptors and chemo-metabolizing gene Cyp3a13. (f) Distal colonic expression of BA receptors and proliferation marker Ki67. (a-f) N = 18 (vehicle-gmt n = 9, chemo-gmt n = 9), *p < 0.05. GMT = gut microbiota transplant.
