ABSTRACT: Background
Exposure to toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is a significant pathogenic factor for asthma. We previously reported that the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) plays a key role in TDI-induced asthma. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) has been reported to be important in asthmatic pathogenesis. However, its effect on TDI-induced asthma is not known. The aim of this study was to determine the role of RAGE and HDAC in regulating airway inflammation using a TDI-induced murine asthma model.Methods
BALB/c mice were sensitized and challenged with TDI to establish an asthma model. FPS-ZM1 (RAGE inhibitor), JNJ-26482585 and romidepsin (HDAC inhibitors) were administered intraperitoneally before each challenge. In vitro, the human bronchial epithelial cell line 16HBE wa
