Brd4 is essential for IL-1β-induced inflammation in human airway epithelial cells.

<h4>Background</h4>Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are key features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Oxidative stress enhances COPD inflammation under the control of the pro-inflammatory redox-sensitive transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB). Histone...
