Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present study, we analyzed the influence of skatole, an intestinal bacterial metabolite, on rats, cultured intestinal cells, and cultured hepatoma cells. As results, in rats, it was revealed that skatole induces disturbance of bile acid metabolism, change of gene expression in the liver and ileum, and dysbiosis. In the analysis using cultured intestinal cells, it was demonstrated that skatole leads to cell death via AhR activation. Furthermore, in cultured hepatoma cells, it was suggested that skatole promotes cell proliferation through activation of ERK. Based on the above results of the present study, it was shown that the production of skatole in the intestine induces abnormalities in gastrointestinal function, and may also be involved in the onset and progression of gastrointestinal diseases.
