Abstract
High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) is a ubiquitous, highly conserved nuclear and cytosolic protein that has diverse biological roles depending on its cellular location and posttranslational modifications. The HMGB1 is localized in the nucleus but can be translocated to the cytoplasm to modulate the intracellular signaling and eventually secreted outside the cells. It is widely established that HMGB1 plays a key role in inflammation; however, the role of HMGB1 in the cardiovascular diseases is not well understood. In this review, we will discuss the latest reports on the pathophysiological link between HMGB1 and cardiovascular complications, with special emphasis on the inflammation. Thus, the understanding of the role of HMGB1 may provide new insights into developing new HMGB1-based therapies.
