Purpose: Previously, we identified increased retinal degeneration and cytokine response in a mouse model of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the presence of systemic inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate cytokine production by reducing acetylation and are found to be dysregulated in inflammatory diseases, including RA and AMD. Therefore, this current study investigates the effect of HDAC inhibition on AMD progression in the presence of systemic inflammation.
