Recent Developments in the Role of Histone Acetylation in Asthma.
International Archives of Allergy and Immunology 2024 March 23
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic modifications are known to mediate both beneficial and unfavorable effects of environmental exposures on the development and clinical course of asthma. On the molecular level, epigenetic mechanisms participate in multiple aspects of the emerging and ongoing asthma pathology.
SUMMARY: Studies performed in the last several years expand our knowledge on the role of histone acetylation, a classical epigenetic mark, in the regulation of (patho)physiological processes of diverse cells playing a central role in asthma, including those belonging to the immune system (e.g., CD4+ T cells, macrophages) and lung structure (e.g., airway epithelial cells, pulmonary fibroblasts). Those studies demonstrate a number of specific histone acetylation-associated mechanisms and pathways underlying pathological processes characteristic for asthma, as well as report their modification modalities.
KEY MESSAGES: Dietary modulation of histone acetylation levels in the immune system might protect against the development of asthma and other allergies. Interfering with the enzymes controlling the histone acetylation status of structural lung and (local) immune cells might provide future therapeutic options for asthmatics. Despite some methodological obstacles, analysis of the histone acetylation levels might improve asthma diagnostics.
