Abstract excerpt
Caco-2 cells differentiate spontaneously when cultured in confluence and on exposure to the physiologically relevant short-chain fatty acid, butyrate. This study aimed to compare the phenotype induced by these pathways and their relations to cell turnover. Caco-2 cells were treated with butyrate at a nontoxic concentration of 2 mM for 3 days, or allowed to spontaneously differentiate for 0-21 days. Brush border...
