Butyrate blocks specific histone acetylation

ABSTRACT: Butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced by microbial fermentation of dietary fiber, exerts beneficial metabolic and immunomodulatory functions through inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDAC) and hyperactivation of the histone acetylase (HAT) p3004. These effects are widely believed to result in the acetylation of distinct histones that regulate specific genes. However, we show that this is not the case, as butyrate dose-dependently increases the acetylation of histones throughout the entire genome regardless of their position at transcription starting sites (TSS). Mechanistically, we found that, although butyrylated p300 has increased acetylation activity as reported, it is no longer recruited to acetylated histones through its bromodomain, and thereby likely cannot maintain the acetylation of specific histones through positive feedback. Thus, butyrate does not regulate specific genes at the epigenetic level, but increases histone acetylation globally resulting in opening of the entire chromatin structure.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of human hepatocytes with H3ac or H4ac antibodies after treatment with sodium butyrate in order to

Project description:HepG2 cells were treated or untreated with Na-Butyrate and Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed in order to investigate the genomic regions displaying changes in histone acetylation pattern (H3ac and H4ac) after treatment. Such ChIPs material were analyzed by ChIP-Chip, hybridizing ChIP DNA and reference DNA into arrays covering 1% of the human genomes as defined by the ENCODE consortium. By comparing arrays hybridized with ChIPs obtained using antibodies against acetylated histones before and after butyrate treatment, we deteceted those genomic regions that significantly changed in their histone acetylation patterns. Furthermore, as a control in order to determine specific enrichemnts we performed ChIPs where no antibody was used and hybridized the resultsing DNA against reference DNA. In this last case, experiments were performed only with untreated cells.

Butyrate, but not Propionate, Rescues Maternal Diet-Induced Neurocognitive Deficits in Offspring

Project description:Fiber diet plays a beneficial role in neurocognitive disorders, like dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. However, insufficient fiber consumption in public increases the concern about public health, particularly about neurocognitive diseases. To survey the association between fiber dietary and neurocognitive performances, mice were subjected to normal-fiber diet or low-fiber diet during gestation, and the neurocognitive functions of the offspring were assessed. We found that maternal low-fiber diet impaired the cognitive functions, and the impairments can be reversed by butyrate, rather than propionate intake. Mechanism studies showed that HDAC4 might become the most potential mediator in butyrate-dependent neurocognitive improvement. Besides, using human maternal serum and paired umbilical cord blood samples, we demonstrated that the SCFA levels in offspring are positively correlated with levels in maternal serum. Those results provide a solid basis for not only maternal fiber diet regulates neurocognitive functions in offspring through altering SCFA levels, but clinical practice in SCFAs-dependent maternal intervention for offspring health.

Butyrate is anti-inflammatory at low and pro-inflammatory at high concentrations

Project description:Butyrate is a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid produced from microbial fermentation of dietary fibers present at high millimolar concentrations in the colonic lumen.However, in an intact epithelium, macrophages residing in the lamina propria areexposed to only sub-millimolar butyrate concentrations. Current studies show antiinflammatoryproperties of butyrate and suggest that it might have therapeuticapplications in inflammatory bowel disease and colonic cancer. We now show that theeffect of butyrate on human macrophages is strongly concentration dependent. At lowconcentrations (0.1–1 mM), butyrate suppresses LPS-induced production ofproinflammatory cytokines potentially through a combination PPAR-γ signaling andincreased histone acetylation. At high concentrations (10 mM), butyrate promotesproduction of inflammatory cytokines in a mechanism that involves G protein-coupledreceptor GPR109A, the lipid transporter CD36, and the kinase SRC. We propose thatbutyrate is a crucial signaling molecule for intestinal integrity, since intestinaldisruption exposes macrophages to high butyrate concentrations.

Sodium butyrate is incorporated into central metabolism in fly head while inducing oxygen consumption increase

Project description:Butyrate has been proposed as a drug therapy by acting as a lysine deacetylase (KDAC) inhibitor and elevating protein acetylation, in particular on histones. Nonetheless, recent studies suggest that tissues such as the gut can utilize butyrate as a metabolite. We have previously shown that the addition of butyrate induces a rapid increase of oxygen consumption in whole Drosophila melanogaster heads. Here we show that while head oxygen consumption is increased by the addition of butyrate, no apparent changes are observed on the proteome and acetylome. Instead, we show that butyrate is metabolized and incorporated into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Collectively our data supports the notion that the therapeutic benefits of acute butyrate treatment may be also mediated by improving metabolic rates, rather than solely targeting the epigenome or acetylome.

Short-chain fatty acids propionate and butyrate control growth and differentiation linked to cellular metabolism [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) propionate and butyrate are produced in large amounts by microbial metabolism and have been identified as unique acyl lysine histone marks. In order to better understand the function of these modifications we used ChIP-Seq to map the genome-wide location of four short-chain acyl histone marks H3K18pr/bu and H4K12pr/bu in treated and untreated colorectal cancer (CRC) and normal cells, as well as in mouse intestines in vivo. We correlate these marks with open chromatin regions along with gene expression to access the function of the target regions. Our data demonstrate that propionate and butyrate act as promoters of growth, differentiation as well as ion transport. We propose a mechanism involving direct modification of specific genomic regions, resulting in increased chromatin accessibility, and in case of butyrate, opposing effects on the proliferation of normal versus CRC cells.
