Measuring the Effect of Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors (HDACi) on the Secretion and Activity of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin.
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a protein conformational disease with the most common cause being the Z-variant mutation in alpha-1 antitrypsin (Z-AAT). The misfolded conformation triggered by the Z-variant disrupts cellular proteostasis (protein folding) systems and fails to meet the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) export metrics, leading to decreased circulating AAT and deficient antiprotease activity in the plasma and lung. Here, we describe the methods for measuring the secretion and neutrophil elastase (NE) inhibition activity of AAT/Z-AAT, as well as the response to histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi), a major proteostasis modifier that impacts the secretion and function of AATD from the liver to plasma. These methods provide a platform for further therapeutic development of proteostasis regulators for AATD.
