Oxidation of butyrate by intestinal epithelial cells stabilizes HIF and contributes to innate immunity. Microbial-derived SCFA such as butyrate is transported apically and through oxidative metabolism drives oxidative respiration to the extent that HIF is stabilized. The expression of a number of HIF target genes important in barrier regulation provides both homeostasis as well as resolution from injury.
