Sodium butyrate (NaBt) is a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) that is available in the colon through the commensal microbiota-mediated fermentation of dietary fibers. It is the main source of energy for colonocytes, and is regarded to have tumor suppressive effects, most prominently in colorectal cancer (CRC). Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a gene important in the inflammatory response due to its ability to convert arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Overexpression and overactivity of COX-2 were observed in chronic inflammatory diseases and CRC. To understand whether the expression of COX-2 was regulated through NaBt in CRC, we treated Caco-2 and HT-29 cells with 3mM NaBt. We observed that Caco-2 cells treated with 3 mM NaBt showed increased mRNA and protein expression of COX-2 while a decrease in the same was observed in HT-29 cells. To understand the mechanism behind this dual regulation, we analyzed the transcriptional regulation of COX-2 through NF-κB. Contrary to our v expectations, we found that even though the nuclear localization of p65 subunit of NF-κB showed an increase in Caco-2 cells and not in HT-29 cells, the recruitment of NF-κB to the COX-2 promoter region decreased in Caco-2 cells, and increased in HT-29 cells We therefore hypothesized that COX-2 was regulated post-trascriptionally. We observed that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38, a pathway that activates a number of proteins involved in mRNA stabilization, was activated only in Caco-2 cells and not HT-29 cells. We investigated the downstream signaling and discovered that the use of distal polyadenylation signal, and the stability of COX-2 were increased in NaBt-treated Caco-2 cells and decreased in HT-29 cells. We then showed that the said stability was lost when the p38 activity was inhibited in Caco-2 cells. The stabilizing AU-rich element binding protein (AREBPs) HuR was found to decline in the two cell lines, whereas destabilizing AREBP TTP exhibited a decrease only in Caco-2 cells. Collectively, this study indicates that NaBt can modify the transcriptome not only through its HDACi ability but also via the activation of p38-dependent post-transcriptional regulation networks.

Investigation of the effect of sodium butyrate induced differentiation on inflammatory pathways in colon cancer cells
Küçükdemir, Mümine; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2012)
Sodium butyrate (NaBt) is a four-carbon short chain fatty acid, produced naturally in colon as the end product of the bacterial anaerobic metabolism on dietary fibers. It was previously shown that NaBt can induce differentiation and may inhibit proliferation. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of NaBt-induced differentation on inflammatory pathways in HT29 colon cancer cells. For this purpose, first, cells were treated with varying concentrations of NaBt from 1-5 mM and amount require...
Effects of the quercetin derivative CHNQ, a potent aldo- keto reductase inhibitor, on akr1b1 silenced HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells
Taşkoparan, Betül; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2016)
Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are NAD(P)H dependent oxidoreductases that are known to be involved in the biosynthesis, metabolism and detoxification of a number of substrates including glucose. These enzymes are therefore implicated in the development of diabetic complications. Additionally, this family of enzymes, particularly AKR1B1, has been shown to be involved in pathology of inflammation- associated diseases such as atherosclerosis, asthma, uveitis, sepsis, arthritis, periodontitis and cancer, including...
Evaluation of an aldo-keto reductase gene signature with prognostic significance in colon cancer via activation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition and the p70S6K pathway
Canli, Secil Demirkol; Seza, Esin Gulce; Sheraj, Ilir; Gomceli, Ismail; Turhan, Nesrin; Carberry, Steven; Prehn, Jochen H. M.; GÜRE, ALİ OSMAY; Banerjee, Sreeparna (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-09-01)
AKR1B1 and AKR1B10, members of the aldo-keto reductase family of enzymes that participate in the polyol pathway of aldehyde metabolism, are aberrantly expressed in colon cancer. We previously showed that high expression of AKR1B1 (AKR1B1(HIGH)) was associated with enhanced motility, inflammation and poor clinical outcome in colon cancer patients. Using publicly available datasets and ex vivo gene expression analysis (n = 51, Ankara cohort), we have validated our previous in silico finding that AKR1B1(HIGH) ...
Synthetic biology approach for the design of butyrate producing bacteria for colon cancer therapy
Kızıl, Cihat Burak; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2019)
Butyric acid is a short chain fatty acid (SCFA) that is generated in the colon by butyrate-producing bacteria. Butyrate, along with other SCFAs, serve as substrates for energy production in the gut epithelium. Additionally, these compounds are known to reduce inflammation and enhance differentiation of mammalian cells. Several species of bacteria are known to produce butyrate in the gut through different biochemical pathways. In this study we have aimed to generate a butyrate producing commensal E. coli K12...
Investigation of the therapeutic effect of sodium butyrate in Caco-2 colon cancer cell line by using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy
Çelik, Buket; Bek, Alpan; Özek, Nihal Şimşek; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2018)
Sodium butyrate (NaBt), as one of the HDACi, has been demonstrated that it induces apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, the inhibition of angiogenesis, metastasis and gene expression changes. To date, there are several studies perfomed to investigate its therapeutic effect; however, theexact mechanism at molecular level is not clear yet. Therefore, the current thesis was aimed to clarify the action/theurapeutic potential mechanisms of sodium butyrate in Caco2 colon cancer cell line at molecular level using ATR-FTI...
