Inhibition of bromodomain extraterminal histone readers alleviates skin fibrosis in experimental models of scleroderma

Binding of the bromodomain and extraterminal domain proteins (BETs) to acetylated histone residues is critical for gene transcription. We sought to determine the antifibrotic efficacy and potential mechanisms of BET inhibition in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Blockade of BETs was done using a pan-BET in...
