Abstract:
High-mobility group box B1 (HMGB1) is a DNA-binding protein widely distributed in eukaryotic cells. When tissue damage occurs, HMGB1 acts as an endogenous risk signal to activate the body’s immune system and mediate aseptic inflammatory response. Current research findings have shown that HMGB1 plays a key role in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury. This article summarizes the recent research advances in the proinflammatory role of HMGB1 in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion and HMGB1 as a target for the treatment of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury.
