Constipation has become an epidemic enteric medical problem, accompanied with increasing long-term sequelae. Gut microbiota and serotonin (5-HT) have been believed as predominant player in the treatment of constipation. In clinical practices, Shouhui Tongbian Capsule (SHTB) was found to effectively improve constipation symptoms and promote gastrointestinal motility. However, the specific mechanism of SHTB is not clearly elucidated. Our current study aims to explore the therapeutic effects of SHTB against the development of constipation and the underlying mechanisms related to gut bacterial and 5-HT. We established loperamide hydrochloride (LH)-induced experimental constipation mouse model to evaluate the effect of SHTB. 16S RNA sequencing, fecal microbiota transplants (FMT), high performance liquid chromatograph, and molecular biological analysis were performed to investigate the potential mechanisms of SHTB. Our data demonstrated that SHTB significantly ameliorated LH-induced experimental constipation and accelerated enteric motility via promoting 5-HT biosynthesis in enterochromaffin cells and enteric neuron growth of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in both the small intestine and colon. Additionally, SHTB significantly modulated gut microbiota dysbiosis and potentially altered microbiota metabolites to enhance intestinal 5-HT production. Finally, FMT study confirmed that the effects of SHTB on 5-HT production and constipation are dependent on modulating intestinal microbiota dysbiosis. In conclusion, our current study deciphered therapeutic mechanism of SHTB in the treatment of experimental constipation from perspectives of gut microbiota-5-HT-intetinal motility axis and provides novel insights into the appropriate and safe application of SHTB in the clinic.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
