Ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) has received more and more attentions, because it possesses a lot of beneficial, life-preserving effects in the fields of clinical science and medicine. However, the role of BHB in intestinal inflammation has not yet been investigated. Colonic mucosa of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and healthy controls were collected for evaluation of BHB level. Besides, the therapeutic effect of exogenous BHB in a murine model of acute dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis were assessed by body weight change, colon length, disease activity index, and histopathological sections. The regulatory effectors of BHB were analyzed by RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence, and microbe analysis in vivo. Moreover, the molecular mechanism of BHB was further verified in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). In this study, significantly reduced BHB levels were found in the colonic mucosa from IBD patients and correlated with IBD activity index. In addition, we demonstrated that the administration of exogenous BHB alleviated the severity of acute experimental colitis, which was characterized by less weight loss, disease activity index, colon shortening, and histology scores, as well as decreased crypt loss and epithelium damage. Furthermore, BHB resulted in significantly increased colonic expression of M2 macrophage-associated genes, including IL-4Ra, IL-10, arginase 1 (Arg-1), and chitinase-like protein 3, following DSS exposure, suggesting an increased M2 macrophage skewing in vivo. Moreover, an in vitro experiment revealed that the addition of BHB directly promoted STAT6 phosphorylation and M2 macrophage-specific gene expression in IL-4-stimulated macrophages. Besides, we found that BHB obviously increased M2 macrophage-induced mucosal repair through promoting intestinal epithelial proliferation. However, the enhancement effect of BHB on M2 macrophage-induced mucosal repair and anti-inflammation was completely inhibited by the STAT6 inhibitor AS1517499. In summary, we show that BHB promotes M2 macrophage polarization through the STAT6-dependent signaling pathway, which contributes to the resolution of intestinal inflammation and the repair of damaged intestinal tissues. Our finding suggests that exogenous BHB supplement may be a useful therapeutic approach for IBD treatment. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12916-022-02352-x.
