INTRODUCTION: SLC5A8, expressed predominantly in the colon, is a Na(+)-coupled transporter for short-chain fatty acids. In this paper, we report on the characterization of butyrate transport by SLC5A8 and the relevance of SLC5A8-mediated butyrate transport to colon cancer. RESULTS: SLC5A8 transports butyrate via a Na(+)-dependent electrogenic process. Na(+) activation of the transport process exhibits sigmoidal kinetics, indicating involvement of more than one Na(+) in the activation process. SLC5A8 is silenced in colon cancer in humans, in a mouse model of intestinal/colon cancer, and in colon cancer cell lines. The tumor-associated silencing of SLC5A8 involves DNA methylation by DNA methyltransferase 1. Reexpression of SLC5A8 in colon cancer cells leads to apoptosis but only in the presence of butyrate. SLC5A8-mediated entry of butyrate into cancer cells is associated with inhibition of histone deacetylation. The changes in gene expression in SLC5A8/butyrate-induced apoptosis include upregulation of pro-apoptotic genes and downregulation of anti-apoptotic genes. In addition, the expression of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase subunits is affected differentially, with downregulation of p85alpha and upregulation of p55alpha and p50alpha. CONCLUSION: These studies show that SLC5A8 mediates the tumor-suppressive effects of the bacterial fermentation product butyrate in the colon.
