A novel nutrient sensing mechanism underlies substrate-induced regulation of monocarboxylate transporter-1.

TLDR
Evidence is provided for substrate-induced enhancement of MCT1 surface expression and function via a novel nutrient sensing mechanism involving GPR109A as a SCFA sensor.
Abstract
Monocarboxylate transporter isoform-1 (MCT1) plays an important role in the absorption of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the colon. Butyrate, a major SCFA, serves as the primary energy source f...

Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs)-Mediated Gut Epithelial and Immune Regulation and Its Relevance for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

TL;DR: An overview of microbial SCFAs production and their effects on the intestinal mucosa with specific emphasis on their relevance for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases is presented and the therapeutic potential ofSCFAs for IBD is discussed.
Book ChapterDOI

The role of short-chain fatty acids in health and disease.

TL;DR: The role of SCFAs as a major player in maintenance of gut and immune homeostasis is highlighted, and their levels are regulated by diet are provided a new basis to explain the increased prevalence of inflammatory disease in Westernized countries.

Review article: short chain fatty acids as potential therapeutic agents in human gastrointestinal and inflammatory disorders

TL;DR: Butyrate, propionate and acetate are short chain fatty acids, important for maintaining a healthy colon and are considered as protective in colorectal carcinogenesis, but they may also regulate immune responses and the composition of the intestinal microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short-Chain Fatty Acids and Their Association with Signalling Pathways in Inflammation, Glucose and Lipid Metabolism.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the recent advances concerning the biological properties of SCFAs and the signalling pathways in inflammation and glucose and lipid metabolism and discusses the role of GPRCs and HDACs in these pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards microbial fermentation metabolites as markers for health benefits of prebiotics

TL;DR: There is insufficient evidence to use changes in faecal bacterial metabolite concentrations as markers of prebiotic effectiveness, and adequate tools for data integration and interpretation are currently lacking.

Review article: the role of butyrate on colonic function

TL;DR: Butyrate is an important energy source for intestinal epithelial cells and plays a role in the maintenance of colonic homeostasis, and is a main end‐product of intestinal microbial fermentation of mainly dietary fibre.

Functional characterization of human receptors for short chain fatty acids and their role in polymorphonuclear cell activation.

TL;DR: The pharmacology of GPR43 matches indeed the effects of SCFAs on neutrophils, in terms of intracellular Ca2+ release and chemotaxis, and might constitute a target allowing us to modulate immune responses in these pathological situations.

Potential beneficial effects of butyrate in intestinal and extraintestinal diseases

TL;DR: A wide spectrum of positive effects exerted by butyrate is suggested, with a high potential for a therapeutic use in human medicine, at the extraintestinal and intestinal level.

GPR109A is a G-protein-coupled receptor for the bacterial fermentation product butyrate and functions as a tumor suppressor in colon

TL;DR: It is shown that GPR109A mediates the tumor-suppressive effects of the bacterial fermentation product butyrate in colon and suppresses nuclear factor-kappaB activation in normal and cancer colon cell lines as well as in normal mouse colon.
