Redirection of epithelial immune responses by short chain fatty acids through inhibition of histone deacetylases

Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) are products of microbial fermentation that are important for intestinal epithelial health. Here we describe that SCFAs have rapid and reversible effects on Toll-like receptor (TLR) responses in epithelial cells. Incubation of HEK293 or HeLa epithelial cells with the...
