Targeting Transcription Factor Lysine Acetylation in Inflammatory Airway Diseases

Abstract excerpt

Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are inflammatory airway diseases for which alternative therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Interestingly, HDAC inhibitors show anti-inflammatory effects in mouse models for these diseases. Here we explore underlying mechanisms that may explain these effects. In previous studies, effects of HDAC inhibitors on histone acetylation are often correlated with...
