Non-communicable diseases are increasing and have an underlying low-grade inflammation in common, which may affect gut health. To maintain intestinal homeostasis, unwanted epithelial activation needs to be avoided. This study compared the efficacy of butyrate, propionate and acetate to suppress IFN-γ+/−TNF-α induced intestinal epithelial activation in association with their HDAC inhibitory capacity, while studying the canonical and non-canonical STAT1 pathway. HT-29 were activated with IFN-γ+/−TNF-α and treated with short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) or histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. CXCL10 release and protein and mRNA expression of proteins involved in the STAT1 pathway were determined. All SCFAs dose-dependently inhibited CXCL10 release of the cells after activation with IFN-γ or IFN-γ+TNF-α. Butyrate was the most effective, completely preventing CXCL10 induction. Butyrate did not affect phosphorylated STAT1, nor phosphorylated NFκB p65, but inhibited IRF9 and phosphorylated JAK2 protein expression in activated cells. Additionally, butyrate inhibited CXCL10, SOCS1, JAK2 and IRF9 mRNA in activated cells. The effect of butyrate was mimicked by class I HDAC inhibitors and a general HDAC inhibitor Trichostatin A. Butyrate is the most potent inhibitor of CXCL10 release compared to other SCFAs and acts via HDAC inhibition. This causes downregulation of CXCL10, JAK2 and IRF9 genes, resulting in a decreased IRF9 protein expression which inhibits the non-canonical pathway and CXCL10 transcription.
