Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) has become one of the major healthcare challenges worldwide in the recent times and inflammation being one of its key pathogenic process/mechanism affect several body parts including the peripheral and central nervous system. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is one of the major non-histone proteins that plays a key role in triggering the inflammatory response. Upon its release into the extracellular milieu, HMGB1 acts as an "alarmin" for the immune system to initiate tissue repair as a component of the host defense system. Furthermore, HMGB1 along with its downstream receptors like Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) serve as the suitable target for DM. The forthcoming research in the field of diabetes would potentially focus on the development of alternative approaches to target the centre of inflammation that is primarily mediated by HMGB1 to improve diabetic-related complications. This review covers the therapeutic actions of HMGB1 protein, which acts by activating the RAGE and TLR molecules to constitute a functional tripod system, in turn activating NF-κB pathway that contributes to the production of mediators for pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with DM. The interaction between TLR2 and TLR4 with ligands present in the host and the activation of RAGE stimulates various immune and metabolic responses that contribute to diabetes. This review emphasizes to elucidate the role of HMGB1 in the initiation and progression of DM and control over the inflammatory tripod as a promising therapeutic approach in the management of DM.

Abstract
Lipid raft microdomain of the plasma membrane is implicated in various biological and pathological processes. The involvement of lipid raft in T cell receptor (TCR) signal transduction has been widely studied, whereas the role of these structures in immunoreceptor signaling by DAP12 in natural killing (NK) cells remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) lipid localized to lipid raft boundary in our coarse-grained (CG) model raft-forming membrane, and this negatively charged lipid recruits DAP12 homodimer into lipid raft boundary through protein-lipid interaction between the basic-rich regions and signaling immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of DAP12 and PIP2. Furthermore, our results reveal that the protein-lipid interaction can be disrupted by Ca2+, which competitively binds to PIP2 instead of DAP12. As a result, the cytoplasmic region of DAP12 homodimer is dissociated from the membrane back to the nonraft domain, and the ITAMs are exposed to allow further downstream signaling. These findings provide fundamental insights to understand the mechanism of signal transduction in NK cells regulated by membrane microenvironment.
