In neutrophils, G-Protein Coupled Receptor 43 (GPR43) activation triggers chemotaxis. It may promote survival or apoptosis. It enhances superoxide production. This involves crosstalk with P2Y purinoceptor 2 (P2RY2). It also boosts Interleukin-1 (IL-1) beta (IL-1F2) cytokine production. In Group 3 ILCs (ILC3), G-Protein Coupled Receptor 43 (GPR43) activation by acetate upregulates Interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptors (IL-1R). IL-1R is activated by IL-1b. This leads to an increased IL-22 production. FFA2 activation also directly produces IL-22. This occurs via the Akt/ERK1/2-STAT3-RORγt axis and promotes ILC3 expansion
They (propionate > butyrate > acetate) induce neutrophils by activating the GPR43 to migrate to foci of inflammation (chemotaxis)
There, they exert their phagocytic property
