Macrophages play central role in driving airway inflammation during asthma pathogenesis, though the molecular mechanism governing their function remains incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that lysine acetyltransferase 8 (KAT8) plays a critical role in papain-induced neutrophilic airway inflammation through post-translational modification of poly(C)-binding protein 1 (PCBP1). We show that papain exposure significantly upregulates KAT8 expression in lung macrophages both in vivo and in ...[more]
