Activation of Gpr109a, receptor for niacin and the commensal metabolite butyrate, suppresses colonic inflammation and carcinogenesis
Open accessAbstract
Commensal gut microflora and dietary fiber protect against colonic inflammation and colon cancer through unknown targets. Butyrate, a bacterial product from fermentation of dietary fiber in the colon, has been implicated in this process. GPR109A (encoded by Niacr1) is a receptor for butyrate in the colon. GPR109A is also a receptor for niacin, which is also produced by gut microbiota and suppresses intestinal inflammation. Here we showed that Gpr109a signaling promoted anti-inflammatory properties in colonic macrophages and dendritic cells and enabled them to induce differentiation of Treg cells and IL-10-producing T cells. Moreover, Gpr109a was essential for butyrate-mediated induction of IL-18 in colonic epithelium. Consequently, Niacr1(-/-) mice were susceptible to development of colonic inflammation and colon cancer. Niacin, a pharmacological Gpr109a agonist, suppressed colitis and colon cancer in a Gpr109a-dependent manner. Thus, Gpr10a has an essential role in mediating the beneficial effects of gut microbiota and dietary fiber in colon.

Butyrate was an agonist for GPR109A.
“Singh et al. demonstrated that butyrate was an agonist for GPR109A [73].”

Butyrate enhances Treg generation by promoting an anti-inflammatory phenotype in macrophages and dendritic cells through HCAR2 activation.
“Separately, butyrate has also been shown to enhance Treg generation by promoting an anti-inflammatory phenotype in macrophages and DCs through activation of HCAR2 (Singh et al., 2014).”

SCFAs can affect dendritic cell maturation and function through HCAR2 and FFAR3 in a context-dependent manner.
“However, SCFAs have also been shown to affect DC maturation and function through HCAR2 and FFAR3, depending on the context (Singh et al., 2014; Trompette et al., 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
