Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate gene expression, yet differences in the activity of these enzymes in the inflammatory phenotypes of asthma are unknown. We hypothesized that neutrophilic asthma (NA) would be associated with increased HAT and decreased HDAC activity. OBJECTIVE: To investigate total HAT/HDAC activity and gene expression in isolated blood...
