We have shown that butyric acid (in vivo) decreased cell proliferation of Ehrlich Ascites Tumor (EAT) cells. This effect of butyric acid is attributed to induction of apoptosis in EAT cells, as evidenced by prevalent apoptotic morphology in EAT cells. Molecular effects of butyric acid (in vivo and in situ) included a dose dependent inhibition of generation of Reactive Oxygen Species(ROS) with IC50 value of 5 uM. Butyric acid inhibited neovascularization in the peritoneum of EAT bearing mice. The absence of permeability factor(s) in exudate of mice bearing EAT cells treated with butyric acid, can either be due to inhibition of secretion of growth factors or repression of their expression by butyric acid. Further, butyric acid not only activated a cytosolic phosphatase but also induced its expression as evidenced by immunological staining, using anti-phosphatase antibodies.
