Background & Aims: Butyrate oxidation is impaired in intestinal mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Butyrate uptake by colonocytes involves the monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) 1. We aimed to investigate the role of MCT1 in butyrate oxidation deficiency during colonic inflammation. Methods: Colonic tissues were collected from patients with IBD or healthy controls and from rats with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. The intestinal epithelial cell line HT-29 was treated with interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). MCT1 expression was analyzed by real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, and immunofluorescence. Butyrate uptake and oxidation in HT-29 cells was assessed using 14 C-butyrate. The mechanism of MCT1 gene regulation was analyzed by nuclear run-on and reporter gene assays. Results: MCT1 messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels were markedly decreased in inflamed colonic mucosa of IBD patients and rats. In HT-29 cells, down-regulation of MCT1 mRNA and protein abundance by IFN-γ and TNF-α correlated with a decrease in butyrate uptake and subsequent oxidation. IFN-γ and TNF-α did not affect MCT1 mRNA stability but rather down-regulated gene transcription. We demonstrate that the cytokine response element is located in the proximal −111/+213 core region of the MCT1 promoter. Conclusions: The data suggest that butyrate oxidation deficiency in intestinal inflammation is a consequence of reduction in MCT1-mediated butyrate uptake. This reinforces the proposition that butyrate oxidation deficiency in IBD is not a primary defect.
