Object: Phosphatidylserine-containing liposomes (PSLs) can mimic the immunomodulatory effects of apoptotic cells by binding to the phosphatidylserine receptors of macrophages. Sodium butyrate, an antiinflammatory short-chain fatty acid, is known to facilitate the M2 polarization of macrophages. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sodium butyrate on PSLs-induced macrophage polarization.
Methods: PSLs physical properties and cellular uptake tests, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunofluorescence staining, and flow cytometry analysis were performed to assess the polarization-related indicators of M1/M2 macrophages.
Results: The results showed that sodium butyrate did not affect the size and cellular uptake of PSLs. For M1 macrophage polarization, sodium butyrate significantly intensified the antiinflammatory function of PSLs, inhibiting LPS-induced proinflammatory genes expression, cytokines and enzyme release (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and inducible nitric oxide synthase), as well as CD86 (M1 marker) expression. In addition to the enhancing effect of antiinflammation, sodium butyrate also promoted PSL-induced M2 macrophages polarization, especially elevated thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and arginase-1 (Arg-1) enzyme levels which are involved in tissue repair.
Conclusion: Sodium butyrate enhanced antiinflammatory properties and M2-polarization inducing effect of PSLs. Therefore, sodium butyrate may represent a novel approach to enhance PSL-induced macrophage polarization.

Background: Menopause driven decline in estrogen exposes women to risk of osteoporosis. Detection of early onset and silent progression are keys to prevent fractures and associated burdens.
Methods: In a discovery cohort of 120 postmenopausal women, we combined repeated quantitative pulse-echo ultrasonography of bone, assessment of grip strength and serum bone markers with mass-spectrometric analysis of exhaled metabolites to find breath volatile markers and quantitative cutoff levels for osteoporosis.

The aim of the study was to investigate the potential preventive use of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) to modulate inflammatory responses in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) skin. Initially, in vitro experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of various concentrations of butyric acid, acetic acid and propionic acid, as well as their combination, on the cytotoxicity and cell viability of three different cell lines. The results determined the safe concentration of SCFAs, which was then used for an in vivo study.

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is susceptible to damage under high altitude hypoxic conditions, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort and intestinal barrier injury. Sodium butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid present as a metabolite in the gut, has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent due to its ability to act as an immunomodulatory agent and restore intestinal barrier integrity. This study aimed to explore the mechanism by which sodium butyrate exhibits anti inflammatory effect on intestinal epithelial cells.

Background: Our previous study showed that antibiotic exposure was linked to depressive symptomatology in community-dwelling older adults in China. Our current study aims to explore the underlying mechanisms by assessing the intermediated effects of circulating short-chain organic acids (SCOAs) on this association.
Methods: Depressive symptoms were screened by the 30-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30).
