Effects of butyric acid, a bacterial metabolite implicated in periodontitis progression, have never been examined on oral melanocytes. Herein, primary human epidermal melanocytes were used as a model for oral melanocytes. Results show the adverse effects of butyric acid (sodium butyrate; NaB) on them, which comprise marked cytotoxicity at higher concentrations (>1 mM) and robust differentiation at lower nontoxic concentrations. NaB did not alter MITF protein levels; however, it stimulated tyrosinase protein synthesis and inhibited tyrosinase activity, with no changes in cellular melanin. NaB did not affect oxidative stress, although it induced significant levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6.
