Abstract

Aim: Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) proteins are important mediators of inflammation through epigenetic remodelling. Diabetic patients have an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis and present basal inflammation in monocytes. The RVX-208 compound is an epigenetic BET inhibitor with anti-inflammatory properties, shown with in vivo and in vitro studies. We aimed to determine whether using RVX-208 can have ex vivo anti-inflammatory properties on monocytes from diabetic patients, challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
