Sporamin Intervention Altered the Gut Microbiome and Tumor Tissue Transcriptome in Mice Intraperitoneally Xenografted With the Human Colorectal Carcinoma LoVo Cells
Abstract:BackgroundAccumulating evidence indicates that sporamin, the main storage protein in the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), can suppress the development of colorectal cancer (CRC), but the changes in the gut microbiome after sporamin intervention and its relationships with the pathogenesis of CRC have not been investigated.MethodsTwelve male athymic BALB/c nude mice were randomly divided into four groups, CG1, CG2, TCG, and TTG. Mice in TCG and TTG were intraperitoneally transplanted with the LoVo cancer cells be… Show more
