Popis: High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a classic damage-associated molecular pattern that has an important role in the pathological inflammatory response. In vitro studies have demonstrated that the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of HMGB1 expression, mediating the inflammatory response. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate JAK2/STAT3 pathway involvement in the subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)-dependent regulation of HMGB1, using an in vivo rat model. A SAH model was established by endovascular perforation. Western blotting, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to analyze HMGB1 expression after SAH. In addition, the effects of AG490 after SAH on JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation, HMGB1 expression and brain damage were evaluated. The results of the present study demonstrated that JAK2/STAT3 was significantly phosphorylated (P
