Role of High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) in SCA17 Pathogenesis

Role of High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) in SCA17 Pathogenesis

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17) involves the expression of a polyglutamine (polyQ) expanded TATA-binding protein (TBP), a general transcription initiation factor. TBP interacts with other protein factors, including high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), to regulate gene expression. Previously, our proteomic analysis of soluble proteins prepared from mutant TBP (TBP/Q61) expressing cells reve...

Neuroinflammation in Autism Spectrum Disorders: the Role of High Mobility Group Box 1 Protein

The pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) likely involves genetic and environmental factors, impacting the complex neurodevelopmental and behavioral abnormalities of the disorder. Scientific researches emerging within the past two decades suggest that immune dysfunction and inflammation have pathogenic influences through different mechanisms, all leading to both a chronic state of low ...

High-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1): an alarmin mediating the pathogenesis of rheumatic disease

High-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is a non-histone nuclear protein that has a dual function. Inside the cell, HMGB1 binds DNA, regulating transcription and determining chromosomal architecture. Outside the cell, HMGB1 can serve as an alarmin to activate the innate system and mediate a wide range of physiological and pathological responses. To function as an alarmin, HMGB1 translocates f...

The role of High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) in colorectal cancer

BACKGROUND HMGB1, the most important member of the high mobility group box protein family, is a nuclear protein with different functions in the cell; it has a role in cancer progression, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis development. We studied the expression of HMGB1 and whether it is a prognostic factor in colorectal carcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 110 cases that wer...
