    Abstract:
    Cisplatin is a widely used antineoplastic drug, though its adverse effects, particularly its hepatorenal toxicity, limit its long-term application. Sika deer antler is a valuable traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) documented to possess the capacity for tonifying the kidney and regulating the liver, of which the sika deer antler protein is an important active ingredient. In this study, two protein fractions, SVPr1 and SVPr2, of sika deer antler were purified and administered to mice treated with cisplatin, and serum metabolome and fecal microbiota were measured using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. SVPr1 and SVPr2 significantly ameliorated cisplatin-induced liver and kidney injury and reduced mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis. In addition, SVPr1 and SVPr2 impacted the gut microbiota structure of mice, significantly increasing the relative abundances of Lactobacillus, which deserves to be scrutinized. Moreover, SVPr1 and SVPr2 antagonism of cisplatin-induced hepatorenal injury may be related to the regulation of lysine degradation, tryptophan metabolism, and riboflavin metabolism pathways, significantly altering the levels of L-saccharopine, L-lysine, L-kynurenine, 3-methylindole, xanthurenic acid, riboflavin, and D-ribulose-5-phosphate. A correlation between the differential metabolites and Lactobacillus was identified. These findings increased the knowledge of the gut microbiota-metabolites axis mediated by SVPr1 and SVPr2, and may be able to contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for the simultaneous prevention and treatment of liver and kidney injury from cisplatin treatment.
