Abstract:
:Intestinal epithelial cells participate in an acute phase response (APR) by responding to cytokines and by expressing acute phase protein genes. We hypothesized that butyrate, a fermentation product of the bacterial intestinal flora with deacetylase activity, affects the APR in intestinal epithelial cells. Sodium butyrate (NaBu) and Trichostatin A (TSA) induced alkaline phosphatase activity and histone H4 acetylation in IEC-6 rat intestinal epithelial cells treated with or without interleukin-1beta (IL-1). In contrast, both NaBu and TSA attenuated the IL-1-dependent induction of the acute phase protein gene haptoglobin, as well as C/EBPbeta and C/EBPdelta transcription factors mRNAs. Gel shift and supershift assays showed a strong decrease in the IL-1-induced C/EBPbeta and C/EBPdelta containing complexes binding to the HaptoA C/EBP DNA-binding site of the haptoglobin promoter, by NaBu and TSA. Furthermore, site-specific mutation of the HaptoA site abolished the NaBu- and TSA-dependent inhibition of haptoglobin, as determined by transient transfection assays. These results suggest that deacetylase inhibitors may regulate the IL-1 dependent induction of haptoglobin by down-regulating C/EBP isoforms, and that C/EBPs represent a target for the action of butyrate in the control of the APR of intestinal epithelial cells.
