Abstract

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a highly conserved, ubiquitous protein present in the nuclei and cytoplasm of nearly all cell types, is a necessary and sufficient mediator of inflammation during sterile and infection-associated responses. Elevated levels of HMGB1 in serum and tissues occur during sterile tissue injury and during infection, and targeting HMGB1 with antibodies or specific antagonists is protective in established preclinical inflammatory disease models including lethal endotoxemia or sepsis, collagen-induced arthritis, and ischemia-reperfusion induced tissue injury. Future advances in this field will stem from understanding the biological basis for the success of targeting HMGB1 to therapeutic improvement in the treatment of inflammation, infection and ischemia-reperfusion induced injury.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • HMGB-1 is a potent proinflammatory signaling molecule that is released under inflammatory conditions, including sepsis and ischemia.

    “Past research conducted on peripheral immune cells demonstrates that HMGB-1 is a potent proinflammatory signaling molecule that is released under inflammatory conditions, including sepsis and ischemia (Yang and Tracey, 2009).”

  • Neuronal release of HMGB-1 typically occurs during necrotic conditions, such as ischemia and sepsis.

    “Typically, neuronal release of HMGB-1 occurs during necrotic conditions, such as ischemia (Yang and Tracey, 2009) and sepsis (Yang et al, 2004).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
