Abstract | Background: Asthma is a frequently occurring respiratory disease with an increasing incidence around the world. Airway inflammation and remodeling are important contributors to the occurrence of asthma. We conducted this study aiming at exploring the effect of Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4)-mediated Kruppel-like factor 5 (KLF5)/Slug/CXC chemokine ligand-12 (CXCL12) axis on the development of asthma in regulation of airway inflammation and remodeling. Methods: An asthmatic rat model was induced by ovalbumin (OVA) irrigation, and determined HDAC4, KLF5, Slug, and CXCL12 expression in the lung tissues by RT-qPCR and Western blot assay. OVA was also used to induce a cell model of asthma in human BEAS-2B and HBE135-E6E7bronchial epithelial cells. The airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and expression of inflammatory cytokines in model mice were examined using methacholine challenge test and ELISA. The biological behaviors were measured in asthma model bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMCs) following loss- and gain- function approaches. The interactions between HDAC4, KLF5, Slug, and CXCL12 were also detected by IP assay, dual luciferase gene reporter assay, and ChIP. Results: HDAC4 was upregulated in lung tissues of OVA-induced asthmatic mice, and inhibition of HDAC4 alleviated the airway inflammation and remodeling. HDAC4 increased KLF5 transcriptional activity through deacetylation; deacetylated KLF5 bound to the promoter of Slug and transcriptionally upregulated Slug expression, which in turn increased the expression of CXCL12 to promote the inflammation in bronchial epithelial cells and thus induce the proliferation and migration of BSMCs. Conclusion: Collectively, HDAC4 deacetylates KLF5 to upregulate Slug and CXCL12, thereby causing airway remodeling and facilitating progression of asthma. |
