Intestinal trefoil factor (ITF) gene expression was detected in five colon cancer cell lines. ITF was synthesized by mucous cells of LIM 1215 and LIM 1863 lines, from which it is secreted constitutively. The ITF mRNA transcript was estimated to be 0.6 kb. In LIM 1215 cells, the expression of ITF was potently and dose-dependently inhibited by short-chain fatty acids (butyrate > propionate > acetate) within 8 h of application. The inhibitory effect of butyrate was ablated by actinomycin D and preceded its effects on differentiation of LIM 1215 cells as indicated by induction of alkaline phosphatase activity and counting of periodic acid-Schiff-positive cells. The human ITF promoter contained an 11-residue consensus sequence with high homology to the butyrate response element of the cyclin D1 gene. Mobility shift assays show specific binding of this response element to nuclear protein extracts of LIM 1215 cells. We conclude that butyrate inhibits ITF expression in colon cancer cells and that this effect may be mediated transcriptionally and independently of its effects on differentiation.

AbstractGut microbiota and its metabolites have been shown to influence multiple physiological mechanisms related to human health. Among microbial metabolites, short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are modulators of different metabolic pathways. On the other hand, several studies suggested that diet might influence gut microbiota composition and activity thus modulating the risk of metabolic disease, i.e. obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Among dietary component, dietary fibre may play a pivotal role by virtue of its prebiotic effect on fibre-fermenting bacteria, that may increase SCFA production. The aim of this review was to summarize and discuss current knowledge on the impact of dietary fibre as modulator of the relationship between glucose metabolism and microbiota composition in humans. More specifically, we analysed evidence from observational studies and randomized nutritional intervention investigating the relationship between gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids and glucose metabolism. The possible mechanisms behind this association were also discussed.
