HMGB1: A Common Biomarker and Potential Target for TBI, Neuroinflammation, Epilepsy, and Cognitive Dysfunction

Open access

Abstract

High mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is a ubiquitous nuclear protein released by glia and neurons upon inflammasome activation and activates receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 on the target cells. HMGB1/TLR4 axis is a key initiator of neuroinflammation. In recent days, more attention has been paid to HMGB1 due to its contribution in traumatic brain injury (TBI), neuroinflammatory conditions, epileptogenesis, and cognitive impairments and has emerged as a novel target for those conditions. Nevertheless, HMGB1 has not been portrayed as a common prognostic biomarker for these HMGB1 mediated pathologies. The current review discusses the contribution of HMGB1/TLR4/RAGE signaling in several brain injury, neuroinflammation mediated disorders, epileptogenesis and cognitive dysfunctions and in the light of available evidence, argued the possibilities of HMGB1 as a common viable biomarker of the above mentioned neurological dysfunctions. Furthermore, the review also addresses the result of preclinical studies focused on HMGB1 targeted therapy by the HMGB1 antagonist in several ranges of HMGB1 mediated conditions and noted an encouraging result. These findings suggest HMGB1 as a potential candidate to be a common biomarker of TBI, neuroinflammation, epileptogenesis, and cognitive dysfunctions which can be used for early prediction and progression of those neurological diseases. Future study should explore toward the translational implication of HMGB1 which can open the windows of opportunities for the development of innovative therapeutics that could prevent several associated HMGB1 mediated pathologies discussed herein.

FIGURE 2 Mechanism of HMGB1 release via brain injury. HMGB1 translocation results from brain injuries and epileptogenesis. Dying cells, neurons and glia are responsible for the release of extracellular HMGB1 which can be partially oxidized. Neuronal excitability is enhanced via the mediation of pro-inflammatory activities through the activation of TLR4 signaling by disulphide HMGB1. The stabilization of HMGB1 in its disulphide form is promoted by the generation of ROS. HMGB1 via activating receptors RAGE and TLR4 leads to neuronal cell loss, neuroinflammation, epilepsy, and cognitive dysfunction (Ravizza et al., 2017).

FIGURE 3 Array of factors contributing to epileptogenesis. Much is unknown about the precise mechanism of epileptogenesis making it difficult to design and develop new therapies. But there is an increased understanding that brain injury, BBB disruption, neurodegeneration, oxidative stress, epigenetic DNA modification and pathology of amygdala contribute and aggravate the epileptogenesis.

FIGURE 4 HMGB1/TLR4/RAGE signaling in epilepsy. HMGB1 released from glia and neuronal cells in the CNS, activates its main receptor (TLR4 and RAGE) and contributes to epileptogenesis possibly via BBB disruption and activation of neuroinflammatory pathways.

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.
