Metabolite mimicry identifies butyrate analogs with select protective functions in the intestinal mucosa

Alfredo Ornelas, Jacob A. Countess, Ji Yeon Kim, Rachel H. Cohen, Brittany Gomez, Rebecca L. Roer, Faiz Minhajuddin, Kiranmayee Yenugudhati Vijaya Sai, Liheng Zhou, Julia L.M. Dunn, Caleb Chandler, Philip Reigan, Ian M. Cartwright, Caroline H. T. Hall, Geetha Bhagavatula, , Sean P. Colgan

This study identifies a butyrate analog, 3-chlorobutyrate, that enhances epithelial barrier formation and is protective in colitis without affecting intestinal stem cells.

Epithelial HO-1 regulates iron availability and promotes colonic tumorigenesis in a context-dependent manner

Rosemary C. Callahan, Jillian Curry, Geetha Bhagavatula, Alyse W. Staley, Rachel E.M. Schaefer, Faiz Minhajuddin, Liheng Zhou, Rane M. Neuhart, Shaikh Muhammad Atif, David J. Orlicky, Ian M. Cartwright, Mark E. Gerich, Calen A. Steiner, Arianne L. Theiss, Caroline H. T. Hall, , Joseph C. Onyiah

This study shows that epithelial HO-1 promotes colonic tumorigenesis in chronic inflammation by increasing iron availability and oxidative stress, while protecting against acute heme toxicity.
