Background/Aims:Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) provide energy for colonocytes and stimulate colonic fluid and electrolyte absorption. The impact of acute colitis on SCFA-stimulated Na+absorption and SCFA absorption was examined.Methods:Proximal colon from rabbits infected withYersinia entercolitica, a pair-fed group, and controls was mounted in Ussing chambers, and Na+transport, short-circuit current, and tissue conductance were examined during a basal period and after stimulation with the SCFAs, butyrate, or propionate. Propionate transport and luminal SCFA concentrations were evaluated.Results:Butyrate and propionate stimulated electroneutral Na+absorption above basal levels in the control and pair-fed groups, as evidenced by significant increases in mucosal-to-serosal and net Na+fluxes with no change in serosal-to-mucosal flux, short-circuit current, or conductance. Butyrate-stimulated Na+absorption and propionate absorption were blocked by amiloride, an inhibitor of Na+-H+exchange. In the infected group, both butyrate and propionate failed to stimulate colonic Na+absorption above basal levels. Propionate absorption was inhibited, and epinephrine failed to stimulate Na+or propionate absorption. Luminal SCFA concentrations were increased in acute colitis.Conclusions:Inhibition of SCFA-stimulated Na+-H+exchange and SCFA absorption contribute to the diarrheal fluid loses observed in acute colitis and may reduce colonocyte energy supply.
