Short-chain fatty acids activate GPR41 and GPR43 on intestinal epithelial cells to promote inflammatory responses in mice.

TLDR
GPR41 and GPR43 mice had reduced inflammatory responses after administration of ethanol or TNBS compared with control mice, and had a slower immune response against C rodentium infection, clearing the bacteria more slowly.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of immune cell function by short-chain fatty acids

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to present a clear and updated description of the effects of the SCFAs derived from bacteria on host immune system, as well as the molecular mechanisms involved on them.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short-chain fatty acids induce both effector and regulatory T cells by suppression of histone deacetylases and regulation of the mTOR-S6K pathway.

TL;DR: It is reported that SCFAs can directly promote T-cell differentiation into T cells producing interleukin-17, interferon-γ, and/or IL-10 depending on cytokine milieu.

Tuft cells, taste-chemosensory cells, orchestrate parasite type 2 immunity in the gut

TL;DR: It is shown that tuft cells, which are taste-chemosensory epithelial cells, accumulate during parasite colonization and infection and are identified as critical sentinels in the gut epithelium that promote type 2 immunity in response to intestinal parasites.

Chemically induced mouse models of intestinal inflammation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide protocols for establishing murine 2,4,6-trinitro benzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-, oxazolone- and both acute and chronic dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) colitis, the most widely used chemically induced models of intestinal inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
