Abstract:

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death all around the world, and ischemic stroke is considered to be the most common stroke type. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important molecules for detection of both pathogen invasion and tissue damage. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to assess the expression level of TLR2 on monocytes in patients with ischemic stroke and to evaluate the expression change profile following high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) stimulation. Methods: A total of 30 patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled from November 2013 to September 2014. The real-time PCR and ELISA assays were applied to detect the concentrations of TLR2 mRNAs. Results: TLR2 expression was found to be increased in patients with ischemic stroke, as compared to the healthy control group (P<0.001). Also, anti-TLR2 antibodies were able to decrease the expression levels of IL-17, IL-6 and IL-33. This result implies that the enhanced TLR2 pathway and Th17 cell polarization may be due to HMGB1 stimulation in ischemic stroke. Conclusion: Further clinical studies are needed for development of a new treatment strategy to inhibit the HMGB1 pathway, thus preventing the inflammation in ischemic stroke patients.

High Mobility Group Box-1 protein (HMGB1) interacts with multiple Toll like receptors

High mobility group box 1(HMGB1), originally described as a DNA-binding protein, can also be released extracellularly and functions as a late mediator of inflammatory responses. Although recent reports indicated that the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE), as well as Toll-like receptors (TLR2 and TLR4), were involved in cellular activation by HMGB1, there has been little evidenc...

Toll-Like Receptor 4 Mediates Acute Lung Injury Induced by High Mobility Group Box-1

BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) is considered to be the major cause of respiratory failure in critically ill patients. Clinical studies have found that in patients with sepsis and after hemorrhage, the elevated level of high mobility group box-1(HMGB-1) in their circulation is highly associated with ALI, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Extracellular HMGB-1 has cytokine-like pro...

High mobility group box 1 activates Toll like receptor 4 signaling in hepatic stellate cells.

AIMS The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a damage pattern molecule that signals the presence of necrosis, on TLR4 signaling in hepatic stellate cells (HSC). MAIN METHODS Immortalized mouse HSC lines JS1, JS2, and JS3 that were either TLR4(+/+), TLR4(-/-), or MyD88(-/-) were transfected with NF-κB or AP-1 responsive luciferase report...

Pivotal neuroinflammatory and therapeutic role of high mobility group box 1 in ischemic stroke

Stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Stroke is a frequent and severe neurovascular disorder. The main cause of stroke is atherosclerosis, and the most common risk factor for atherosclerosis is hypertension. Therefore, prevention and treatment of stroke are crucial issues in humans. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is non-histone nuclear protein that is currently one o...

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 ...
