Research Article: Probiotics Alleviate Chemotherapy-Associated Intestinal Mucosal Injury via the TLR–NF?B Signaling Pathway
Introduction:
Intestinal mucosal injury can accompany the entire cycle of chemotherapy. The incidence of enteral mucositis is %–% of patients receiving chemotherapy, depending on the type and regimen of chemotherapy drugs. Temozolomide (TMZ) is a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of malignant intracranial tumors that induces the alkylation of DNA, and thus the autophagy or apoptosis of tumor cells. However, it also induces the apoptosis of intestinal mucosal epithelial cells, thus destroying the intestinal…
