Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have become first-line drugs for cancer treatment. However, their clinical use is seriously hindered since many patients experience diarrhea after receiving TKIs. The mechanisms of TKI-associated diarrhea remain unclear. Most existing therapies are symptomatic treatments based on experience and their effects are unsatisfactory. Therefore, clarification of the mechanisms underlying diarrhea is critical to develop effective anti-diarrhea drugs. This article summarizes several potential mechanisms of TKI-associated diarrhea and reviews current treatment progress.

Abstract
Pyrotinib is a novel epidermal growth factor receptor/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) tyrosine kinase inhibitor that exhibited clinical efficacy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and HER2-mutant/amplified lung cancer. However, severe diarrhea adverse responses preclude its practical use. At present, the mechanism of pyrotinib-induced diarrhea is unknown and needs further study. First, to develop a suitable and reproducible animal model, we compared the effects of different doses of pyrotinib (20, 40, 60 and 80 mg/kg) in Wistar rats. Second, we used this model to examine the intestinal toxicity of pyrotinib. Finally, the mechanism underlying pyrotinib-induced diarrhea was fully studied using gut microbiome and host intestinal tissue metabolomics profiling. Reproducible diarrhea occurred in rats when they were given an 80 mg/kg daily dose of pyrotinib. Using the pyrotinib-induced model, we observed that Lachnospiraceae and Acidaminococcaceae decreased in the pyrotinib groups, whereas Enterobacteriaceae, Helicobacteraceae and Clostridiaceae increased at the family level by 16S rRNA gene sequence. Multiple bioinformatics methods revealed that glycocholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid and cyclic AMP increased in the pyrotinib groups, whereas kynurenic acid decreased, which may be related to the pathogenesis of pyrotinib-induced diarrhea. Additionally, pyrotinib-induced diarrhea may be associated with a number of metabolic changes mediated by the gut microbiome, such as Primary bile acid biosynthesis. We reported the establishment of a reproducible pyrotinib-induced animal model for the first time. Furthermore, we concluded from this experiment that gut microbiome imbalance and changes in related metabolites are significant contributors to pyrotinib-induced diarrhea.

Abstract
Background Neratinib is a pan-ErbB tyrosine kinase inhibitor used for extended adjuvant treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. Diarrhea is the main adverse event associated with neratinib treatment. We aimed here to determine whether antibiotic-induced gut microbial shifts altered development of neratinib-induced diarrhea. Methods Female Albino Wistar rats (total n = 44) were given antibiotics (vancomycin, neomycin, or a cocktail of vancomycin, neomycin and ampicillin) in drinking water for four weeks, and then treated daily with neratinib (50 mg/kg) for 28 days. Diarrhea, along with markers of gastrointestinal damage and microbial alterations were measured by histopathology and 16S sequencing, respectively. Results Rats treated with vancomycin or neomycin had significantly lower levels of diarrhea than rats treated with neratinib alone. In the distal ileum, neratinib was associated with a statistically significant increase in histological damage in all treatment groups expect the antibiotic cocktail. Key features included villous blunting and fusion and some inflammatory infiltrate. Differences in microbial composition at necropsy in vehicle control, neratinib and neratinib + neomycin groups, were characterized by a neratinib-induced increase in gram-negative bacteria that was reversed by neomycin. Neomycin shifted bacterial composition so that Blautia become the dominant genus. Conclusions Narrow spectrum antibiotics reduced neratinib-induced diarrhea. This suggests that the microbiome may play a key role in the development and prolongation of diarrhea following neratinib treatment, although further research is required to understand the key bacteria and mechanisms by which they reduce diarrhea, as well as how this may impact presentation of diarrhea in clinical cohorts.

Abstract
Neratinib is a pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor newly approved by FDA in 2017 to treat HER2-positive breast cancer, but the phase III trial of neratinib showed that 96% of the patients taking neratinib experienced diarrhea. So far very few mechanistic studies explore neratinib-induced gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity. Hereby, we performed toxicity studies in mice to characterize the potential mechanism underlying this adverse effect. C57BL/6 J mice were separated into three groups A, B, C. Group A received vehicle; group B was orally dosed with 100 mg/kg neratinib once daily for 18 days. Group C was dosed with 100 mg/kg neratinib for 12 days and switched to vehicle for 6 days. Intestine and liver were collected for further analysis. Human intestine-derived cells were treated with neratinib in vitro. Our results showed that 12 days treatment of neratinib caused persistent histological damage in mouse GI tract. Both gene expression and activity of Cyp3a11, the major enzyme metabolizing neratinib in mice was reduced in small intestine. The gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines increased throughout the GI tract. Such damages were not recovered after 6 days without neratinib treatment. In addition, in vitro data showed that neratinib was potent in killing human intestine-derived cell lines. Based on such findings, we hypothesized that neratinib downregulates intestinal CYP3A enzyme to cause excessive drug disposition, eventually leading to gut injury.
