The G-protein-coupled receptors GPR43 and GPR109a are known to play an important role in mediating anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer functions in the gut. Short-chain fatty acids, such as sodium butyrate (SB), are activators of GPR43 and GPR109a and thereby promote anti-inflammatory effects. The present study aimed to examine the expression of these receptors and their reaction to SB in psoriasis. Lesional and non-lesional biopsies of 6 psoriasis patients and of 4 controls were obtained and stained for GPR109a and GPR43. Ex vivo stimulation with SB was performed on fresh biopsy material. Lesional and non-lesional psoriatic skin showed a decreased expression of GPR109a and GPR43 on keratinocytes in comparison with control skin. Topical application of SB was able to increase the low-level expression of both receptors. The data suggest that SB by restoring the impaired expression of GPR109a and GPR43 might exert anti-inflammatory effects and may be utilized as a topical tool for the treatment of psoriasis, which has to be proven in future clinical trials.
