We reported that cholangiocyte senescence, regulated by the transcription factor, ETS1, is a pathogenic feature of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). Furthermore, Histone 3 Lysine 27 is acetylated at senescence-associated loci. The epigenetic readers, bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins, bind acetylated histones, recruit transcription factors, and drive gene expression. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that BET proteins interact with ETS1 to drive gene expression and cholangiocyte senescence.
