Application
Sodium Butyrate has been used:
- to inhibit histone deacetylase (HDAC) and study its effect on fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) expression in liver
- to inhibit deacetylase activity in embryonic stem (ES) cells to determine if the enzymatic activity of the mSin3A-HDAC complex is essential for Nanog expression
- as a reagent during tissue homogenization
- as a supplement in chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) dilution buffer
Biochem/physiol Actions
Sodium Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid and a histone deacetylase inhibitor. It protects dopaminergic neuronal cells from α-synuclein mediated transcriptional deregulation and DNA damage, maybe by enhancing the expression of DNA-repair genes. Sodium butyrate may promote the production of foreign proteins such as erythropoietin, tissue plasminogen activator, antibody, and nitric oxide synthase in recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (rCHO) cell cultures. But, the higher concentration of sodium butyrate in rCHO cell cultures may also exhibit a cytotoxic effect on cell growth by inducing apoptosis. Sodium Butyrate prevents the growth of cancer cells by downregulating the thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) expression, stimulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and inhibiting cell proliferation and migration of various carcinoma cells including colorectal cancer (CRC).
