PG - 74-79 LID - 10.1089/jmf.2021.0120 [doi] AB - The beneficial effects of sodium butyrate (NaB) and sodium propionate (NaP) on fatty acid oxidation (FAO) genes and production of proinflammatory cytokines related to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were evaluated using HepG2 human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cells exposed to palmitate/oleate or lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) as a model. The results showed that NaP or NaB was able to promote FAO, regulate lipolysis, and reduce reactive oxygen species production by significantly increasing the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1alpha), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha), adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 alpha (CPT1alpha), fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) in HepG2 cells. Together, NaP and NaB may produce greater effects by increasing CPT1alpha, PPARalpha, and UCP2 mRNA expression in LPS-treated HepG2 cells and by increasing CPT1alpha and ATGL mRNA expression in palmitate-/oleate-treated HepG2 cells. Only NaP treatment significantly increased FGF21 mRNA expression in palmitate-/oleate-treated HepG2 cells. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results revealed that only pretreatment with LPSs and not palmitate/oleate significantly increased tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) expression in HepG2 cells. NaP alone or in combination with NaB significantly decreased TNF-alpha expression in LPS-induced HepG2 cells. The expression of interleukin-8 in both models showed no significant differences in all treatments. NaP and NaB show potential for in vivo studies on NAFLD.
