Targeting High Mobility Group Box-1 (HMGB1) Promotes Cell Death in Myelodysplastic Syndrome

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 ...

Depletion of high mobility group box 1(HMGB1) in dendritic cells (DCs) suppresses tumorigenesis and promotes viral clearance

Introduction HMGB1, an evolutionarily ancient and abundant DNAbinding protein within the nucleus, acts as a Damage Associated Molecular Pattern (DAMP) molecule extracellularly to promote immunity. During both cellular stress and immune cell activation, it is translocated into the cytosol and enhances autophagic flux. DCs are critical to both initiating and maintaining T cell adaptive immunity i...

The function of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in the immune system

High-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) in ischaemic heart disease: beneficial or deleterious?

High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1; also known as amphoterin) protein was identified more than 30 years ago as a non-chromosomal nuclear protein that maintains the nucleosome structure and regulates gene transcription. HMGB1 is highly conserved among species, has over 98% identity among all mammals, and is ubiquitously expressed in almost all types of cells. HMGB1-deficient mice are viable but di...

Association between high mobility group box-1 protein expression and cell death in acute pancreatitis

The present study used caerulein stimulation of AR42J rat pancreatic cells as an in vitro acute pancreatitis (AP) model to investigate proteins differentially expressed in apoptosis and necrosis. AR42J cells were stimulated with 10‑8mol/l caerulein and incubated for 24 h. Apoptosis and necrosis were detected using flow cytometry. The sorted Annexin V‑positive cells (apoptotic) and the Annexin V...
