ö Background & aims: Dietary ¢ber has been proven to be bene¢cial in maintaining remission in human ulcera-tive colitis, an e¡ect related with an increased luminal production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). The aim of the present study was to further investigate the mechanisms involved in the intestinal anti-in£ammatory e¡ects of dietary ¢ber in an experimental model of rat colitis. Methods: HLA-B27 transgenic rats (8^10 weeks old) were fed a ¢ber-supplemented diet (5% Plantago ovata seeds) for 13 weeks before evaluation of the colonic in£ammatory status, both histologically and biochemically. The luminal colonic production of SCFA was quanti¢ed. In vitro studies were also performed to test the interaction between two SCFA (butyrate and propionate) as inhibitors of cytokine production inTHP-1cells. Results: Dietary ¢ber supplementation ameliorated the development of colonic in£ammation in transgenic rats as evi-denced by an improvement of intestinal cytoarchitecture.This e¡ect was associated with a decrease in some of the pro-in£ammatory mediators involvedin the in£ammatory process: nitric oxide, leukotriene B 4 , tumor necrosis factor a (TNFa). The intestinal contents from ¢ber-treated colitic rats showed a signi¢cant higher production of SCFA, butyrate and pro-pionate, than non-treated colitic animals. In vitro studies revealed a synergistic inhibitory e¡ect of butyrate and propio-nate onTNFa production. Conclusions: Dietary ¢ber supplementation ameliorated colonic damage in HLA-B27 transgenic rats.This e¡ects was associated with an increased production of SCFA, which can act synergistically in inhibiting the production of pro-in£ammatory mediators.
