Abstract excerpt
Colonic butyrate may maintain mucosal differentiation and oppose carcinogenesis. We characterized butyrate effects on differentiation, proliferation, and matrix interactions in Caco-2 and SW620 human colonic cells. Differentiation was assessed by brush border enzyme activity and doubling time by serial cell counts. Motility across matrix proteins was quantitated by monolayer expansion and correlated with...
