Development of a Cell-Based High-Throughput Screening Assay to Identify Porcine Host Defense Peptide-Inducing Compounds by Zhuo Deng, Jing Wang, Wentao Lyu, Xuwen Wieneke, Robert Matts, Xi Ma, Guolong Zhang

“…Six HDAC inhibitors including suberoylanilide hydroxamine (SAHA), HC toxin, apicidin, panobinostat, SB939, and LAQ824 were additionally found to be highly effective HDP inducers in a porcine 3D4/31 macrophage cell line. Besides PBD3, other HDP genes such as PBD2 and cathelicidins (PG1–5) were concentration-dependently induced by those compounds in both IPEC-J2 and 3D4/31 cells. …”
