Extracellular HMGB1 Induced Glomerular Endothelial Cell Injury via TLR4/MyD88 Signaling Pathway in Lupus Nephritis by Tian Yu, Feng Xiaojuan, Liu Jinxi, Miao Xinyan, Xu Jie, Tian Yuexin, Liu Qingjuan, Zhang Wei, Gu Cunyang, Huang Jie, Wu Lunbi, Zhao Hang, Liu Shuxia, Guo Huifang

“…Additionally, inhibition of extracellular HMGB1 and/or downstream TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB/p65 signaling pathway also alleviated GEC monolayer permeability, reduced the shedding of the glomerular endothelial glycocalyx, improved the intercellular tight junction and cytoskeletal arrangement, and downregulated the NO level and VCAM-1 expression. These results suggested that extracellular HMGB1 might involve in GEC injury by activating the TLR4/MyD88 signaling pathway in LN, which provided novel insights and potential therapeutic target for the treatment of lupus nephritis.…”
