The expression of GPR41 and 43, which have recently been identified as G-protein-coupled cell-surface receptors for short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), was detected in a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) by RT-PCR. Acetate, propionate and butyrate induced an increase in intracellular Ca2+ in these cells that was not blocked by treatment with pertussis toxin (PTX). SCFAs significantly reduced forskolin-induced cAMP levels in these cells. The phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 was selectively increased by SCFAs. The downstream substrate heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) was also phosphorylated by SCFAs at Ser-78 and-82, but not-15. Propionate induced elevations in intracellular Ca2+ and the phosphorylation of p38 were inhibited by the silencing of GPR43 using a specific siRNA. These results suggest that GPR41 and 43 mediate SCFA signaling in mammary epithelial cells and thereby play an important role in their stress management. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
