Butyric acid, a pivotal short-chain fatty acid in rumen digestion, profoundly influences animal digestive and locomotor systems. Extensive research indicates its direct or indirect involvement in the growth and development of muscle and fat cells. However, the impact of butyric acid on the proliferation and differentiation of bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of butyrate on SMSCs proliferation and differentiation. After isolating, SMSCs were subjected to varying concentrations of sodium butyrate (NaB) during the proliferation and differentiation stages. Optimal treatment conditions (1 mM NaB for 2 days) were determined based on proliferative force, cell viability, and mRNA expression of proliferation and differentiation marker genes. Transcriptome sequencing was employed to screen for differential gene expression between 1 mM NaB-treated and untreated groups during SMSCs differentiation. Results indicated that lower NaB concentrations (≤1.0 mM) inhibited proliferation while promoting differentiation and apoptosis after a 2-day treatment. Conversely, higher NaB concentrations (≥2.0 mM) suppressed proliferation and differentiation and induced apoptosis. Transcriptome sequencing revealed differential expression of genes(ND1, ND3, CYTB, COX2, ATP6, MYOZ2, MYOZ3, MYBPC1 and ATP6V0A4,etc.) were associated with SMSCs differentiation and energy metabolism, enriching pathways such as Oxidative phosphorylation, MAPK, and Wnt signaling. These findings offer valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying butyrate regulation of bovine SMSCs proliferation and differentiation, as well as muscle fiber type conversion in the future study.

The role of Kupffer cells in microbiota-brain communication: Sleep and fever signaling in response to lipopolysaccharide

Article

Author: Buckley, Katelin ; Szentirmai, Éva ; Kapás, Levente

Microbial molecules translocated from the intestinal lumen into the host's internal environment play a role in various physiological functions. Previously, we identified that butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by intestinal bacteria, lipoteichoic acid, a cell wall component of gram-positive bacteria, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a cell wall component of gram-negative bacteria, induce sleep when their naturally occurring translocation is mimicked by direct delivery into the portal vein. Our findings suggested that these microbial molecules exert their sleep-promoting effects within the hepatoportal region. In the present experiments, we tested the hypothesis that resident liver macrophages, known as Kupffer cells, play a crucial role in the LPS-responsive, sleep-promoting mechanisms within the hepatoportal region. Intraportal administration of LPS induced increased sleep and fever in control rats. Remarkably, in Kupffer cell-depleted animals, both of these responses were significantly suppressed. These findings highlight the potential role of Kupffer cells in mediating the non-rapid-eye movement sleep-promoting and febrile effects of LPS translocated from the intestinal microbiota into the portal circulation. The strategic location of Kupffer cells within the hepatoportal region, coupled with their ability to rapidly take up LPS and other microbial molecules, together with their high secretory activity of multiple signaling molecules, underlie their key role in the communication between the intestinal microbiota and the brain.
