Popis: The proinflammatory protein HMGB1 was recently identified as a mediator of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and of other inflammatory diseases. This is demonstrated by extracellular HMGB1 expression both in experimental models of arthritis and in synovial biopsies from patients with RA. Furthermore, intra-articular injection of HMGB1 causes destructive synovitis in mice and HMGB1-targeted treatment ameliorates experimental arthritis. Recent data have indicated that HMGB1 alone does not have proinflammatory properties while complexes of HMGB1 and the TLR ligands CpG DNA and lipopolysaccharide …
