HDAC6 Deletion Decreases Pristane-induced Inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease characterized by excessive inflammation and production of pathogenic Abs. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a class IIb histone deacetylase. It has been reported that selective HDAC6 inhibition decreases inflammation in lupus mouse models. In this study, sex- and age-matched wild-type (WT) and HDAC6-/- mice on the C57BL/6 background were administered 0.5 ml of pristane or PBS i.p. at 8-12 wk of age and were euthanized 10 d later. At sacrifice, body weight and spleen weight were measured, sera were collected, and splenocytes and peritoneal cells were harvested for flow cytometry. We found pristane administration increased the spleen weight with no difference between WT and HDAC6-/- mice. Pristane administration promoted the population of
