ROS anchor PAMPs-mediated extracellular HMGB1 self-association and its dimerization enhances pro-inflammatory signaling by Man Sup Kwak, Myeonggil Han, Yong Joon Lee, Seoyeon Choi, Jeonghwa Kim, In Ho Park, Jeon-Soo Shin

“…Compared to monomeric HMGB1, Cys106–Cys106-linked dimeric HMGB1 significantly enhanced intracellular NF-κB signaling and cytokine production through increased direct binding affinity for TLR2 and TLR4 and effective HMGB1-mediated delivery of PAMPs to their receptors. Therefore, we have demonstrated that dimeric HMGB1 enhances its effect on pro-inflammatory signaling.…”
