Methods Arthritis was induced in SKG mice by zymosan A injection. Trichostatin A a histone deacetylase inhibitor was administered and its effects on arthritis were evaluated by joint swelling and histological evaluation. Interleukin-17 production in lymph node cells was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA . Foxp3 expression in lymph node cells and the phenotypes of splenic dendritic cells were examined by fluorescence-activated cell sorting FACS . Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells BM-DC were generated with granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor. The effects of trichostatin A on cell surface molecules cytokine production indoleamine 2 3-dioxygenase IDO expression and T cell stimulatory capacity were examined by FACS ELISA quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot and the allo-mixed lymphocyte reaction respectively. Results Trichostatin A when administered before the onset of arthritis prevented SKG mice from getting arthritis. Trichostatin A treatment also showed therapeutic effects on arthritis in SKG mice when it was administered after the onset of arthritis. Trichostatin A treatment reduced Th17 cells and induced regulatory T cells in lymph node and also decreased co-stimulatory molecule expression on splenic dendritic cells in vivo. In vitro trichostatin A markedly suppressed zymosan A-induced interleukin-12 and interleukin-6 .
