High Mobility Group Box Protein-1 in Wound Repair
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), a member of highly conserved non-histone DNA binding protein family, has been studied as transcription factor and growth factor. Secreted extracellularly by activated monocytes and macrophages or passively released by necrotic or damaged cells, extracellular HMGB1 is a potent mediator of inflammation. Extracellular HMGB1 has apparently contrasting biological actions: it sustains inflammation (with the possible establishment of autoimmunity or of self-maintaining tissue damage), but it also activates and recruits stem cells, boosting tissue repair. Here, we focus on the role of HMGB1 in physiological and pathological responses, the mechanisms by which it contributes to tissue repair and therapeutic strategies base on targeting HMGB1.

High-mobility group box 1 promotes extracellular matrix synthesis and wound repair in human bronchial epithelial cells.
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) protein that binds Toll-like receptors (e.g., TLR4) and the receptor for advanced glycated end products (RAGE). The direct effects of HMGB1 on airway structural cells are not fully known. As epithelial cell responses are fundamental drivers of asthma, including abnormal repair-restitution linked to changes in extr...

High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a highly conserved, ubiquitous protein in the nuclei and cytoplasm of almost all cells. After binding to its receptor, HMGB1, which is derived from necrotic cells and activated macrophages/monocytes, functions as a critical mediator of inflammation and promotes tissue repair and regeneration. Many recent studies demonstrated that HMGB1 played a pivotal role ...

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is expressed in various tissues, including the skin, and DPP4 inhibitors, that are currently used for the treatment of diabetes, may be effective also for complications of diabetes that affect the skin. To assess the role of DPP4 in keratinocytes, after creating a scratch wound in a monolayer of NTCC 2544 cells, we evaluated DPP4 expression and monitored wound repa...

Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. Extra- and intra-cellular high-mobility motor box 1 (HMGB1) proteins are invovled in the pathogenesis and prognosis of cancer. Regarding this, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the expression of HMGB1 protein and mRNA levels in the blood, tumor tissue, and mar...
