Epigenetic modulation of selected immune response genes and altered functions of T lymphocytes and macrophages collectively contribute to autoimmune diabetes protection

We have previously demonstrated that weekly treatment of female prediabetic NOD mice with a low dose of the histone deacetylase inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA) bestowed long-lasting, irreversible protection against autoimmune diabetes. Herein we show that drug treatment diminished the infiltration of...
