Abstract
High-mobility group box 1 was first discovered in the calf thymus as a DNA-binding nuclear protein and has been widely studied in diverse fields, including neurology and neuroscience. High-mobility group box 1 in the extracellular space functions as a pro-inflammatory damage-associated molecular pattern, which has been proven to play an important role in a wide variety of central nervous system disorders such as ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury. Several drugs that inhibit high-mobility group box 1 as a damage-associated molecular pattern, such as glycyrrhizin, ethyl pyruvate, and neutralizing anti-high-mobility group box 1 antibodies, are commonly used to target high-mobility group box 1 activity in central nervous system disorders. Although it is commonly known for its detrimental inflammatory effect, high-mobility group box 1 has also been shown to have beneficial pro-regenerative roles in central nervous system disorders. In this narrative review, we provide a brief summary of the history of high-mobility group box 1 research and its characterization as a damage-associated molecular pattern, its downstream receptors, and intracellular signaling pathways, how high-mobility group box 1 exerts the repair-favoring roles in general and in the central nervous system, and clues on how to differentiate the pro-regenerative from the pro-inflammatory role. Research targeting high-mobility group box 1 in the central nervous system may benefit from differentiating between the two functions rather than overall suppression of high-mobility group box 1.

Abstract
External beam radiotherapy is used for radical treatment of organ-confined prostate cancer and to treat lesions in metastatic disease whereas molecular radiotherapy with labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen ligands and radium-223 (223Ra) is indicated for metastatic prostate cancer and has demonstrated substantial improvements in symptom control and overall survival compared with standard-of-care treatment. Prostate cancer is considered an immunologically cold tumour, so limited studies investigating the treatment-induced effects on the immune response have been completed. However, emerging data support the idea that radiotherapy induces an immune response in prostate cancer, but whether the response is an antitumour or pro-tumour response is dependent on the radiotherapy regime and is also cell-line dependent. In vitro data demonstrate that single-dose radiotherapy regimes induce a greater immune-suppressive profile than fractionated regimes; less is known about the immune response induced by molecular radiotherapy agents, but evidence suggests that these agents might induce an immune-suppressive systemic immune response, indicated by increased expression of inhibitory checkpoint molecules such as programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 and 2, and that these changes could be associated with clinical response. Different radiotherapy modalities can induce distinct immune profiles, which can either activate or suppress immune-mediated tumour killing and the current preclinical models used for prostate cancer research are not yet optimal for studying the complexity of the radiotherapy-induced immune response.

Abstract
High mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) acts as a pathogenic inflammatory response to mediate ranges of conditions such as epilepsy, septic shock, ischemia, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and mass spectrometry. HMGB1 promotes inflammation during sterile and infectious damage and plays a crucial role in disease development. Mobilization from the nucleus to the cytoplasm is the first important step in the release of HMGB1 from activated immune cells. Here, we demonstrated that Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) physically interacts with and deacetylates HMGB1 at 43 lysine residue at nuclear localization signal locations, strengthening its interaction with HMGB1 and causing HMGB1 to be localized in the cytoplasm. These discoveries are the first to shed light on the SIRT2 nucleoplasmic shuttle, which influences HMGB1 and its degradation, hence revealing novel therapeutic targets and avenues for neuroinflammation treatment.

Abstract
The high-mobility group box (HMGB) family consists of four DNA-binding proteins that regulate chromatin structure and function. In addition to their intracellular functions, recent studies have revealed their involvement as extracellular damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), contributing to immune responses and tumor development. The HMGB family promotes tumorigenesis by modulating multiple processes including proliferation, metabolic reprogramming, metastasis, immune evasion, and drug resistance. Due to the predominant focus on HMGB1 in the literature, little is known about the remaining members of this family. This review summarizes the structural, distributional, as well as functional similarities and distinctions among members of the HMGB family, followed by a comprehensive exploration of their roles in tumor development. We emphasize the distributional and functional hierarchy of the HMGB family at both the organizational and subcellular levels, with a focus on their relationship with the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), aiming to prospect potential strategies for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Drug-induced organic damage encompasses various intricate mechanisms, wherein HMGB1, a non-histone chromosome-binding protein, assumes a significant role as a pivotal hub gene. The regulatory functions of HMGB1 within the nucleus and extracellular milieu are interlinked. HMGB1 exerts a crucial regulatory influence on key biological processes including cell survival, inflammatory regulation, and immune response. HMGB1 can be released extracellularly from the cell during these processes, where it functions as a pro-inflammation cytokine. HMGB1 interacts with multiple cell membrane receptors, primarily Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), to stimulate immune cells and trigger inflammatory response. The excessive or uncontrolled HMGB1 release leads to heightened inflammatory responses and cellular demise, instigating inflammatory damage or exacerbating inflammation and cellular demise in different diseases. Therefore, a thorough review on the significance of HMGB1 in drug-induced organic damage is highly important for the advancement of pharmaceuticals, ensuring their effectiveness and safety in treating inflammation as well as immune-related diseases. In this review, we initially outline the characteristics and functions of HMGB1, emphasizing their relevance in disease pathology. Then, we comprehensively summarize the prospect of HMGB1 as a promising therapeutic target for treating drug-induced toxicity. Lastly, we discuss major challenges and propose potential avenues for advancing the development of HMGB1-based therapeutics.

Abstract
The bone-resorbing activity of osteoclasts plays a critical role in the life-long remodeling of our bones that is perturbed in many bone loss diseases. Multinucleated osteoclasts are formed by the fusion of precursor cells, and larger cells - generated by an increased number of cell fusion events - have higher resorptive activity. We find that osteoclast fusion and bone-resorption are promoted by reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling and by an unconventional low molecular weight species of La protein, located at the osteoclast surface. Here, we develop the hypothesis that La's unique regulatory role in osteoclast multinucleation and function is controlled by a ROS switch in La trafficking. Using antibodies that recognize reduced or oxidized species of La, we find that differentiating osteoclasts enrich an oxidized species of La at the cell surface, which is distinct from the reduced La species conventionally localized within cell nuclei. ROS signaling triggers the shift from reduced to oxidized La species, its dephosphorylation and delivery to the surface of osteoclasts, where La promotes multinucleation and resorptive activity. Moreover, intracellular ROS signaling in differentiating osteoclasts oxidizes critical cysteine residues in the C-terminal half of La, producing this unconventional La species that promotes osteoclast fusion. Our findings suggest that redox signaling induces changes in the location and function of La and may represent a promising target for novel skeletal therapies.

Hypochlorous acid derived from microglial myeloperoxidase could mediate high-mobility group box 1 release from neurons to amplify brain damage in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. J Neuroinflammation 2024; 21:70.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) plays critical role in the pathology of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury via producing hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and inducing oxidative modification of proteins. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) oxidation, particularly disulfide HMGB1 formation, facilitates the secretion and release of HMGB1 and activates neuroinflammation, aggravating cerebral I/R injury. However, the cellular sources of MPO/HOCl in ischemic brain injury are unclear yet. Whether HOCl could promote HMGB1 secretion and release remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the roles of microglia-derived MPO/HOCl in mediating HMGB1 translocation and secretion, and aggravating the brain damage and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption in cerebral I/R injury. In vitro, under the co-culture conditions with microglia BV cells but not the single culture conditions, oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) significantly increased MPO/HOCl expression in PC12 cells. After the cells were exposed to OGD/R, MPO-containing exosomes derived from BV2 cells were released and transferred to PC12 cells, increasing MPO/HOCl in the PC12 cells. The HOCl promoted disulfide HMGB1 translocation and secretion and aggravated OGD/R-induced apoptosis. In vivo, SD rats were subjected to 2 h of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) plus different periods of reperfusion. Increased MPO/HOCl production was observed at the reperfusion stage, accomplished with enlarged infarct volume, aggravated BBB disruption and neurological dysfunctions. Treatment of MPO inhibitor 4-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide (4-ABAH) and HOCl scavenger taurine reversed those changes. HOCl was colocalized with cytoplasm transferred HMGB1, which was blocked by taurine in rat I/R-injured brain. We finally performed a clinical investigation and found that plasma HOCl concentration was positively correlated with infarct volume and neurological deficit scores in ischemic stroke patients. Taken together, we conclude that ischemia/hypoxia could activate microglia to release MPO-containing exosomes that transfer MPO to adjacent cells for HOCl production; Subsequently, the production of HOCl could mediate the translocation and secretion of disulfide HMGB1 that aggravates cerebral I/R injury. Furthermore, plasma HOCl level could be a novel biomarker for indexing brain damage in ischemic stroke patients.

Redox-sensitive high-mobility group box-1 isoforms contribute to liver fibrosis progression and resolution in mice. J Hepatol 2024; 80:482-494. [PMID: 37989401 PMCID: PMC10923114 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhep.2023.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) significantly increases and undergoes post-translational modifications (PTMs) in response to liver injury. Since oxidative stress plays a major role in liver fibrosis and induces PTMs in proteins, we hypothesized that redox-sensitive HMGB1 isoforms contribute to liver fibrosis progression and resolution. METHODS We used ESI-LC-MS (electrospray ionization-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) to study PTMs of HMGB1 during fibrosis progression and resolution. Conditional knockout mice were used for functional analyses. RESULTS We identified that disulfide ([O]) and sulfonated ([SO3]) HMGB1 increase during carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis progression, however, while [O] HMGB1 declines, [SO3] HMGB1 drops but remains, during fibrosis resolution. Conditional knockout of Hmgb1 revealed that production of [O] and [SO3] HMGB1 occurs mostly in hepatocytes. Co-injection of [O] HMGB1 worsens carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis more than co-injection of [H] HMGB1. Conversely, ablation of [O] Hmgb1 in hepatocytes reduces liver fibrosis. Moreover, ablation of the receptor for advanced-glycation end-products (Rage) reveals that the profibrogenic effect of [O] HMGB1 is mediated by RAGE signaling in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Notably, injection of [SO3] HMGB1 accelerates fibrosis resolution due to RAGE-dependent stimulation of HSC apoptosis. Importantly, gene signatures activated by redox-sensitive HMGB1 isoforms in mice, classify patients with fibrosis according to fibrosis and inflammation scores. CONCLUSION Dynamic changes in hepatocyte-derived [O] and [SO3] HMGB1 signal through RAGE-dependent mechanisms on HSCs to drive their profibrogenic phenotype and fate, contributing to progression and resolution of liver fibrosis. IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS Since oxidative stress plays a major role in liver fibrosis and induces post-translational modifications of proteins, we hypothesized that redox-sensitive HMGB1 isoforms contribute to liver fibrosis progression and resolution. This study is significant because a rise in [H] HMGB1 could flag 'patient at risk', the presence of [O] HMGB1 could suggest 'disease in progress or active scarring', while the appearance of [SO3] HMGB1 could point at 'resolution under way'. The latter could be used as a readout for response to pharmacological intervention with anti-fibrotic agents.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) can dampen the host innate immunity by destabilizing IRF3 upon its binding with viral Npro. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a non-histone nuclear protein, has diverse functions, including inflammation, innate immunity, etc., which are closely related to its cellular localization. We investigated potential mutual interactions between CSFV and HMGB1 and their effects on virus replication. We found that HMGB1 at the protein level, but not at mRNA level, was markedly reduced in CSFV-infected or Npro-expressing IPEC-J2 cells. HMGB1 in the nuclear compartment is anti-CSFV by promoting IFN-mediated innate immune response, as evidenced by overexpression of nuclear or cytoplasmic dominant HMGB1 mutant in IPEC-J2 cells stimulated with poly(I:C). However, CSFV Npro upregulates HMGB1 acetylation, a modification that promotes HMGB1 translocation into the cytoplasmic compartment where it is degraded by lysosomes. Ethyl pyruvate could downregulate HMGB1 acetylation and prevent Npro-mediated HMGB1 reduction. Inhibition of deacetylase HDAC1 with MS275 or by RNA silencing could promote Npro-mediated HMGB1 degradation. Taken together, our study elucidates the mechanism with which HMGB1 in the nuclei initiates antiviral innate immune response to suppress CSFV replication and elaborates the pathway by which CSFV uses its Npro to evade from HMGB1-mediated antiviral immunity through upregulating HMGB1 acetylation with subsequent translocation into cytoplasm for lysosomal degradation.

Abstract
Background Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) encompasses a spectrum of liver disorders resulting from prolonged alcohol consumption and is influenced by factors such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) plays a pivotal role in ALD due to its involvement in inflammation and immune responses. Another key factor, Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), an NAD+-dependent deacetylase, is known for its roles in cellular stress responses and metabolic regulation. Despite individual studies on HMGB1 and SIRT1 in ALD, their specific molecular interactions and combined effects on disease advancement remain incompletely understood. Methods Alcohol-induced liver injury (ALI) models were established using HepG2 cells and male C57BL/6 mice. HMGB1 and SIRT1 expressions were assessed at the mRNA and protein levels usingreverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunofluorescence staining. The physical interaction between HMGB1 and SIRT1 was investigated using co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence co-expression analyses. Cellular viability was evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. Results In patients with clinical ALI, HMGB1 mRNA levels were elevated, while SIRT1 expression was reduced, indicating a negative correlation between the two. ALI models were successfully established in cells and mice, as evidenced by increased markers of cellular and liver damage. HMGB1 acetylation and translocation were observed in both ALI cells and mouse models. Treatment with the SIRT1 agonist, SRT1720, reversed the upregulation of HMGB1 acetylation, nuclear translocation, and release in the ethyl alcohol (EtOH) group. Furthermore, SIRT1 significantly attenuated ALI. Importantly, in vivo binding was confirmed between SIRT1 and HMGB1. Conclusions SIRT1 alleviates HMGB1 acetylation and translocation, thereby ameliorating ALI.

Abstract
The oxidant hydrogen peroxide serves as a signaling molecule that alters many aspects of cardiovascular functions. Recent studies suggest that cytoglobin - a hemoglobin expressed in the vasculature - may promote electron transfer reactions with proposed functions in hydrogen peroxide decomposition. Here, we determined the extent to which cytoglobin regulates intracellular hydrogen peroxide and established mechanisms. We found that cytoglobin decreased the hyperoxidation of peroxiredoxins and maintained the activity of peroxiredoxin 2 following challenge with exogenous hydrogen peroxide. Cytoglobin promoted a reduced intracellular environment and facilitated the reduction of the thiol-based hydrogen peroxide sensor Hyper7 after bolus addition of hydrogen peroxide. Cytoglobin also limited the inhibitory effect of hydrogen peroxide on glycolysis and reversed the oxidative inactivation of the glycolytic enzyme GAPDH. Our results indicate that cytoglobin in cells exists primarily as oxyferrous cytoglobin (CygbFe 2+ -O 2 ) with its cysteine residues in the reduced form. We found that the specific substitution of one of two cysteine residues on cytoglobin (C83A) inhibited the reductive activity of cytoglobin on Hyper7 and GAPDH. Carotid arteries from cytoglobin knockout mice were more sensitive to glycolytic inhibition by hydrogen peroxide than arteries from wildtype mice. Together, these results support a role for cytoglobin in regulating intracellular redox signals associated with hydrogen peroxide through oxidation of its cysteine residues, independent of hydrogen peroxide reaction at its heme center.

Abstract
Reportedly, DNMT2/TRDMT1 mainly methylates tRNAs at C38 and prevents them from the cleavage under stress. It also plays an essential role in the survival and physiological homeostasis of organisms. Nevertheless, DNMT2/TRDMT1 exhibits much weaker tRNA methylation activity in vitro than other tRNA methyltransferases, TrmD and Trm5. Here, we explored the restricted tRNA methylation mechanism by DNMT2/TRDMT1. In the current study, the optimized buffer C at 37 °C was the best condition for DNMT2/TRDMT1 activation. Of note, Dithiothreitol (DTT) was an indispensable component for this enzyme catalysis. Moreover, reductants took similar effects on the conformation change and oligomeric formation of DNMT2/TRDMT1. Ultimately, LC-MS/MS result revealed that C292-C292 and C292-C287 were predominant intermolecular disulfide bonds in recombinant DNMT2/TRDMT1. Notably, DNMT2/TRDMT1 existed primarily as dimers via intermolecular disulfide bonds C79-C24, C292-C292, and C222-C24 in HEK293T cells. GSSG stress enhanced tRNA methylation level in the early stage of stress, whereas the DNMT2/TRDMT1 activity might be unfavorable along with this enzyme accumulation in the nucleus. Excitingly, GSH stress downregulated the DNMT2/TRDMT1 expression and promoted tRNA methylation in cells, probably through breaking intermolecular disulfide bonds in this enzyme. Thus, our findings demonstrated restricted tRNA methylation by disulfide bonds in DNMT2/TRDMT1, and will provide important implications for redox stress related-diseases.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prx), thiol-dependent peroxidases, were first identified as H2O2 detoxifiers, and more recently as H2O2 sensors, intermediates in redox-signaling pathways, metabolism modulators, and chaperones. The multifaceted nature of Prx is not only dependent on their peroxidase activity but also strongly associated with specific protein-protein interactions that are being identified, and where the Prx oligomerization dynamics plays a role. Their oxidation by a peroxide substrate forms a sulfenic acid that opens a route to channel the redox signal to diverse protein targets. Recent research underscores the importance of different Prx isoforms in the cellular processes behind disease development with potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract
High-mobility group protein box 1 (HMGB1) is a member of a highly conserved high-mobility group protein present in all cell types. HMGB1 plays multiple roles both inside and outside the cell, depending on its subcellular localization, context, and post-translational modifications. HMGB1 is also associated with the progression of various diseases. Particularly, HMGB1 plays a critical role in CKD progression and prognosis. HMGB1 participates in multiple key events in CKD progression by activating downstream signals, including renal inflammation, the onset of persistent fibrosis, renal aging, AKI-to-CKD transition, and important cardiovascular complications. More importantly, HMGB1 plays a distinct role in the chronic pathophysiology of kidney disease, which differs from that in acute lesions. This review describes the regulatory role of HMGB1 in renal homeostasis and summarizes how HMGB1 affects CKD progression and prognosis. Finally, some promising therapeutic strategies for the targeted inhibition of HMGB1 in improving CKD are summarized. Although the application of HMGB1 as a therapeutic target in CKD faces some challenges, a more in-depth understanding of the intracellular and extracellular regulatory mechanisms of HMGB1 that underly the occurrence and progression of CKD might render HMGB1 an attractive therapeutic target for CKD.

Abstract
Significance: As a redox-sensitive protein, high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is implicated in regulating stress responses to oxidative damage and cell death, which are closely related to the pathology of inflammatory diseases, including cancer. Recent Advances: HMGB1 is a nonhistone nuclear protein that acts as a deoxyribonucleic acid chaperone to control chromosomal structure and function. HMGB1 can also be released into the extracellular space and function as a damage-associated molecular pattern protein during cell death, including during apoptosis, necrosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, alkaliptosis, and cuproptosis. Once released, HMGB1 binds to membrane receptors to shape immune and metabolic responses. In addition to subcellular localization, the function and activity of HMGB1 also depend on its redox state and protein posttranslational modifications. Abnormal HMGB1 plays a dual role in tumorigenesis and anticancer therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy) depending on the tumor types and stages. Critical Issues: A comprehensive understanding of the role of HMGB1 in cellular redox homeostasis is important for deciphering normal cellular functions and pathological manifestations. In this review, we discuss compartmental-defined roles of HMGB1 in regulating cell death and cancer. Understanding these advances may help us develop potential HMGB1-targeting drugs or approaches to treat oxidative stress-related diseases or pathological conditions. Future Directions: Further studies are required to dissect the mechanism by which HMGB1 maintains redox homeostasis under different stress conditions. A multidisciplinary effort is also required to evaluate the potential applications of precisely targeting the HMGB1 pathway in human health and disease. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 39, 569-590.

Abstract
Identifying novel regulators of vascular smooth muscle cell function is necessary to further understand cardiovascular diseases. We previously identified cytoglobin, a hemoglobin homolog, with myogenic and cytoprotective roles in the vasculature. The specific mechanism of action of cytoglobin is unclear but does not seem to be related to oxygen transport or storage like hemoglobin. Herein, transcriptomic profiling of injured carotid arteries in cytoglobin global knockout mice revealed that cytoglobin deletion accelerated the loss of contractile genes and increased DNA damage. Overall, we show that cytoglobin is actively translocated into the nucleus of vascular smooth muscle cells through a redox signal driven by NOX4. We demonstrate that nuclear cytoglobin heterodimerizes with the non-histone chromatin structural protein HMGB2. Our results are consistent with a previously unknown function by which a non-erythrocytic hemoglobin inhibits DNA damage and regulates gene programs in the vasculature by modulating the genome-wide binding of HMGB2.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin-4 from Penaeus vannamei (LvPrx4) is considered a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that can activate the expression of immune-related genes through the Toll pathway. We previously demonstrated that the recombinant LvPrx4 (rLvPrx4) can enhance shrimp resistance against Vibrio parahaemolyticus, causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (VPAHPND), which causes great production losses in shrimp farming. Herein, we showed that the rLvPrx4 had a thermal tolerance of around 60 °C and that the ionic strength had no noticeable effect on its activity. We discovered that feeding a diet containing rLvPrx4 to shrimp for three weeks increased the expression of the immune-related genes LvPEN4 and LvVago5. Furthermore, pre-treatment with rLvPrx4 feeding could significantly prolong shrimp survival following the VPAHPND challenge. The shrimp intestinal microbiome was then characterized using PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA gene and Illumina sequencing. Three weeks of rLvPrx4 supplementation altered the bacterial community structure (beta diversity) and revealed the induction of differentially abundant families, including Cryomorphaceae, Flavobacteriaceae, Pirellulaceae, Rhodobacteraceae, and Verrucomicrobiaceae, in the rLvPrx4 group. Metagenomic predictions indicated that some amino acid metabolism pathways, such as arginine and proline metabolism, and genetic information processing were significantly elevated in the rLvPrx4 group compared to the control group. This study is the first to describe the potential use of rLvPrx4 supplementation to enhance shrimp resistance to VPAHPND and alter the composition of a beneficial bacterial community in shrimp, making rLvPrx4 a promising feed supplement as an alternative to antibiotics for controlling VPAHPND infection in shrimp aquaculture.

High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is one of the damage-associated molecular patterns that can be secreted by pro-inflammatory stimuli, including viral infections, and its excessive secretion levels are related to a variety of inflammatory diseases. Here, the aim of the study was to show that SARS-CoV-2 infection induced HMGB1 secretion via active and passive release. Active HMGB1 secretion was mediated by post-translational modifications, such as acetylation, phosphorylation, and oxidation in HEK293E/ACE2-C-GFP and Calu-3 cells during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Passive release of HMGB1 has been linked to various types of cell death; however, we demonstrated for the first time that PANoptosis, which integrates other cell death pathways, including pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis, is related to passive HMGB1 release during SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, cytoplasmic translocation and extracellular secretion or release of HMGB1 were confirmed via immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence in the lung tissues of humans and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2-overexpressing mice infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Identifying novel regulators of vascular smooth muscle cell function is necessary to further understand cardiovascular diseases. We previously identified cytoglobin, a hemoglobin homolog, with myogenic and cytoprotective roles in the vasculature. The specific mechanism of action of cytoglobin is unclear but does not seem to be related to oxygen transport or storage like hemoglobin. Herein, transcriptomic profiling of injured carotid arteries in cytoglobin global knockout mice revealed that cytoglobin deletion accelerated the loss of contractile genes and increased DNA damage. Overall, we show that cytoglobin is actively translocated into the nucleus of vascular smooth muscle cells through a redox signal driven by NOX4. We demonstrate that nuclear cytoglobin heterodimerizes with the non-histone chromatin structural protein HMGB2. Our results are consistent with a previously unknown function by which a non-erythrocytic hemoglobin inhibits DNA damage and regulates gene programs in the vasculature by modulating the genome-wide binding of HMGB2.

Abstract
As the essential amino acids, branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) from diets is indispensable for health. BCAA supplementation is often recommended for patients with consumptive diseases or healthy people who exercise regularly. Latest studies and ours reported that elevated BCAA level was positively correlated with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, thrombosis and heart failure. However, the adverse effect of BCAA in atherosclerosis (AS) and its underlying mechanism remain unknown. Here, we found elevated plasma BCAA level was an independent risk factor for CHD patients by a human cohort study. By employing the HCD-fed ApoE-/- mice of AS model, ingestion of BCAA significantly increased plaque volume, instability and inflammation in AS. Elevated BCAA due to high dietary BCAA intake or BCAA catabolic defects promoted AS progression. Furthermore, BCAA catabolic defects were found in the monocytes of patients with CHD and abdominal macrophages in AS mice. Improvement of BCAA catabolism in macrophages alleviated AS burden in mice. The protein screening assay revealed HMGB1 as a potential molecular target of BCAA in activating proinflammatory macrophages. Excessive BCAA induced the formation and secretion of disulfide HMGB1 as well as subsequent inflammatory cascade of macrophages in a mitochondrial-nuclear H2O2 dependent manner. Scavenging nuclear H2O2 by overexpression of nucleus-targeting catalase (nCAT) effectively inhibited BCAA-induced inflammation in macrophages. All of the results above illustrate that elevated BCAA promotes AS progression by inducing redox-regulated HMGB1 translocation and further proinflammatory macrophage activation. Our findings provide novel insights into the role of animo acids as the daily dietary nutrients in AS development, and also suggest that restricting excessive dietary BCAA consuming and promoting BCAA catabolism may serve as promising strategies to alleviate and prevent AS and its subsequent CHD.

Abstract
Non-histone nuclear proteins HMGB1 and HMGB2 (High Mobility Group) are involved in many biological processes, such as replication, transcription, and repair. The HMGB1 and HMGB2 proteins consist of a short N-terminal region, two DNA-binding domains, A and B, and a C-terminal sequence of glutamic and aspartic acids. In this work, the structural organization of calf thymus HMGB1 and HMGB2 proteins and their complexes with DNA were studied using UV circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Post-translational modifications (PTM) of HMGB1 and HMGB2 proteins were determined with MALDI mass spectrometry. We have shown that despite the similar primary structures of the HMGB1 and HMGB2 proteins, their post-translational modifications (PTMs) demonstrate quite different patterns. The HMGB1 PTMs are located predominantly in the DNA-binding A-domain and linker region connecting the A and B domains. On the contrary, HMGB2 PTMs are found mostly in the B-domain and within the linker region. It was also shown that, despite the high degree of homology between HMGB1 and HMGB2, the secondary structure of these proteins is also slightly different. We believe that the revealed structural properties might determine the difference in the functioning of the HMGB1 and HMGB2 as well as their protein partners.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule that plays a central role in innate immunity. HMGB1 acts as a late mediator of inflammation when actively secreted in response to inflammatory stimuli. Several post-translational modifications (PTMs), including acetylation, phosphorylation, and oxidation, are involved in HMGB1 secretion. However, the E3 ligases of HMGB1 and the mechanism by which DUBs regulate HMGB1 deubiquitination are not well known. METHODS LC-MS/MS, proximity ligation assay, immunoprecipitation were used to identify ubiquitin-specific protease 13 (USP13) as a binding partner of HMGB1 and to investigate ubiquitination of HMGB1. USP13 domain mutant was constructed for domain study and Spautin-1 was treated for inhibition of USP13. Confocal microscopy image showed localization of HMGB1 by USP13 overexpression. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance with Tukey's honestly significant difference post-hoc test for multiple comparisons or a two-tailed Student's t-test. RESULTS We identified ubiquitin-specific protease 13 (USP13) as a novel binding partner of HMGB1 and demonstrated that USP13 plays a role in stabilizing HMGB1 from ubiquitin-mediated degradation. USP13 overexpression increased nucleocytoplasmic translocation of HMGB1 and promoted its secretion, which was inhibited by treatment with Spautin-1, a selective inhibitor of USP13. CONCLUSION Taken together, we suggest that USP13 is a novel deubiquitinase of HMGB1 that regulates the stability and secretion of HMGB1.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic respiratory disease with irreversible and continuous progression. It has become the fifth most burdensome disease and the third most deadly disease globally. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of COPD are urgent, and it is also important to clarify the pathogenesis of it. Smoking is the main and most common risk factor for COPD. Cigarette smoke (CS) can cause lung inflammation and other pathological mechanisms in the airways and lung tissue. Airway inflammation is one of the important mechanisms leading to the pathogenesis of COPD. Recent studies have shown that high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is involved in the occurrence and development of respiratory diseases, including COPD. HMGB1 is a typical damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) protein, which mainly exerts its activity by binding to the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and further participate in the process of airway inflammation. Studies have shown that the abnormal expression of HMGB1, RAGE, and TLR4 are related to inflammation in COPD. Herein, we discuss the roles of HMGB1, RAGE, and TLR4 in CS/cigarette smoke extract-induced inflammation in COPD, providing a new target for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of COPD.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a high incident rate of central nervous system disease that usually causes paralysis below the injured level. The occurrence of chronic inflammation with the axonal regeneration difficulties are the underlying barriers for the recovery of SCI patients. Current studies have paid attention to controlling the instigative and developmental process of neuro-inflammation. Ethyl pyruvate, as a derivative of pyruvate, has strong anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective functions. Herein, we reviewed the recent studies of ethyl pyruvate and high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1). We think HMGB1 that is one of the main nuclear protein mediators to cause an inflammatory response. This protein induces astrocytic activation, and promotes glial scar formation. Interestingly, ethyl pyruvate has potent inhibitory effects on HMGB1 protein, as it inhibits chronic inflammatory response by modulating the HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. This paper discusses the potential mechanism of ethyl pyruvate in inhibiting chronic inflammation after SCI. Ethyl pyruvate can be a prospective therapeutic agent for SCI.

Abstract
Nuclear protein high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) can be actively secreted by activated immune cells and functions as a proinflammatory cytokine. Regulation of HMGB1 secretion is critical for treatment of HMGB1-mediated inflammation and related diseases. This study demonstrates that S-nitrosylation (SNO; the covalent binding of nitric oxide [NO] to cysteine thiols) by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-derived NO at Cys106 is essential and sufficient for inflammation-elicited HMGB1 secretion. iNOS deletion or inhibition or Cys106Ser mutation prevents lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and/or poly(I:C)-elicited HMGB1 secretion. NO donors induce SNO of HMGB1 and reproduce inflammogen-triggered HMGB1 secretion. SNO of HMGB1 promotes its proinflammatory and neurodegenerative effects. Intranigral HMGB1 injection induces chronic microglial activation, dopaminergic neurodegeneration, and locomotor deficits, the key features of Parkinson’s disease (PD), in wild-type, but not Mac1 (CD11b/CD18)-deficient, mice. This study indicates pivotal roles for SNO modification in HMGB1 secretion and HMGB1-Mac1 interaction for inflammatory neurodegeneration, identifying a mechanistic basis for PD development. Regulation of HMGB1 secretion is critical for the treatment of HMGB1-mediated inflammation and related diseases. Yang et al. demonstrate that posttranslational S-nitrosylation modification (the covalent binding of nitric oxide to protein cysteine thiols) regulates HMGB1 secretion and promotes its proinflammatory and neurodegenerative effects, thereby contributing to Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Reversible oxidation of cysteine residues within proteins occurs naturally during normal cellular homeostasis and can increase during oxidative stress. Cysteine oxidation often leads to the formation of disulfide bonds, which can impact protein folding, stability, and function. Work in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic models over the past five decades has revealed several multiprotein systems that use thiol-dependent oxidoreductases to mediate disulfide bond reduction, formation, and/or rearrangement. Here, I provide an overview of how these systems operate to carry out disulfide exchange reactions in different cellular compartments, with a focus on their roles in maintaining redox homeostasis, transducing redox signals, and facilitating protein folding. Additionally, I review thiol-independent and thiol-dependent approaches for interrogating what proteins partner together in such disulfide-based redox relays. While the thiol-independent approaches rely either on predictive measures or standard procedures for monitoring protein-protein interactions, the thiol-dependent approaches include direct disulfide trapping methods as well as thiol-dependent chemical cross-linking. These strategies may prove useful in the systematic characterization of known and newly discovered disulfide relay mechanisms and redox switches involved in oxidant defense, protein folding, and cell signaling.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) allow to control molecular and cellular functions in response to specific signals and changes in the microenvironment of cells. They regulate structure, localization, stability, and function of proteins in a spatial and temporal manner. Among them, specific thiol modifications of cysteine (Cys) residues facilitate rapid signal transduction. In fact, Cys is unique because it contains the highly reactive thiol group that can undergo different reversible and irreversible modifications. Upon inflammation and changes in the cellular microenvironment, many extracellular soluble and membrane proteins undergo thiol modifications, particularly dithiol–disulfide exchange, S-glutathionylation, and S-nitrosylation. Among others, these thiol switches are essential for inflammatory signaling, regulation of gene expression, cytokine release, immunoglobulin function and isoform variation, and antigen presentation. Interestingly, also the redox state of bacterial and viral proteins depends on host cell-mediated redox reactions that are critical for invasion and infection. Here, we highlight mechanistic thiol switches in inflammatory pathways and infections including cholera, diphtheria, hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Abstract
Extensive research has changed the understanding of oxidative stress that has been linked to every major disease. Today we distinguish oxidative eu- and distress, acknowledging that redox modifications are crucial for signal transduction in the form of specific thiol switches. Long underestimated, reactive species and redox proteins of the Thioredoxin (Trx) family are indeed essential for physiological processes. Moreover, extracellular redox proteins, low molecular weight thiols and thiol switches affect signal transduction and cell–cell communication. Here, we highlight the impact of extracellular redox regulation for health, intermediate pathophenotypes and disease. Of note, recent advances allow the analysis of redox changes in body fluids without using invasive and expensive techniques. With this new knowledge in redox biochemistry, translational strategies can lead to innovative new preventive and diagnostic tools and treatments in life sciences and medicine.

Abstract
High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is known to be a chemotactic factor for mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), but the effect of post-translational modification on its function is not clear. In this study, we hypothesized that differences in the oxidation state of HMGB1 would lead to differences in the function of MSCs in cancer. In human colorectal cancer, MSCs infiltrating into the stroma were correlated with liver metastasis and serum HMGB1. In animal models, oxidized HMGB1 mobilized 3-fold fewer MSCs to subcutaneous tumors compared to reduced HMGB1. Reduced HMGB1 inhibited proliferation of mouse bone marrow MSCs (BM-MSCs) and induced differentiation into osteoblasts and vascular pericytes, whereas oxidized HMGB1 promoted proliferation and increased stemness, and no differentiation was observed. When BM-MSCs pretreated with oxidized HMGB1 were co-cultured with syngeneic cancer cells, cell proliferation and stemness of cancer cells were increased, and tumorigenesis and drug resistance were promoted. In contrast, co-culture with reduced HMGB1-pretreated BM-MSCs did not enhance stemness. In an animal orthotopic transplantation colorectal cancer model, oxidized HMGB1, but not reduced HMGB1, promoted liver metastasis with intratumoral MSC chemotaxis. Thus, oxidized HMGB1 reprograms MSCs and promotes cancer malignancy. The oxidized HMGB1-MSC axis may be an important target for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The purpose of the current study is to uncover the impact of small liganded gold nanoclusters with 10 gold atoms and 10 glutathione ligands (Au10SG10) on several biomarkers in human microglia. We established the links connecting the atomically precise structure of Au10SG10 with their properties and changes in several biomolecules under oxidative stress. Au10SG10 caused the loss of mitochondrial metabolic activity, increased lipid peroxidation and translocation of an alarmin molecule, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), from the nucleus to the cytosol. Molecular modeling provided an insight into the location of amino acid interaction sites with Au10SG10 and the nature of bonds participating in these interactions. We show that Au10SG10 can bind directly to the defined sites of reduced, oxidized, and acetylated HMGB1. Further studies with similar complementary approaches merging live-cell analyses, determination of biomarkers, and cell functions could lead to optimized gold nanoclusters best suited for diagnostic and bioimaging purposes in neuroscience.

Abstract
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a nonhistone nuclear protein that has multiple functions according to its subcellular location. In the nucleus, HMGB1 is a DNA chaperone that maintains the structure and function of chromosomes. In the cytoplasm, HMGB1 can promote autophagy by binding to BECN1 protein. After its active secretion or passive release, extracellular HMGB1 usually acts as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule, regulating inflammation and immune responses through different receptors or direct uptake. The secretion and release of HMGB1 is fine-tuned by a variety of factors, including its posttranslational modification (e.g., acetylation, ADP-ribosylation, phosphorylation, and methylation) and the molecular machinery of cell death (e.g., apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, alkaliptosis, and ferroptosis). In this minireview, we introduce the basic structure and function of HMGB1 and focus on the regulatory mechanism of HMGB1 secretion and release. Understanding these topics may help us develop new HMGB1-targeted drugs for various conditions, especially inflammatory diseases and tissue damage. A nuclear protein that gets released after cell death or is actively secreted by immune cells offers a promising therapeutic target for treating diseases linked to excessive inflammation. Daolin Tang from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, USA, and colleagues review how cellular stresses can trigger the accumulation of HMGB1, a type of alarm signal protein that promotes the recruitment and activation of inflammation-promoting immune cells. The researchers discuss various mechanisms that drive both passive and active release of HMGB1 into the space around cells. These processes, which include enzymatic modifications of the HMGB1 protein, cell–cell interactions and molecular pathways of cell death, could be targeted by drugs to lessen tissue damage and inflammatory disease caused by HMGB1-induced immune responses

Liraglutide protects against lethal renal ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting high-mobility group box 1 nuclear-cytoplasmic translocation and release. Pharmacol Res 2021; 173:105867. [PMID: 34481074 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2021.105867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 08/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, has been reported to exert protective effects against myocardial, hepatic, and gastric ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), but whether it can protect against renal IRI remains unknown. Here, a lethal renal IRI model was established with a 100% mortality rate in untreated mice. Treatment with liraglutide involving a regimen of multiple doses resulted in 100% survival, remarkable preservation of renal function, a significant reduction in pathological damage, and blunted upregulation of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, TLR-2, TLR-4, and RAGE mRNA. We found that liraglutide treatment dramatically inhibited ischemia-induced nucleocytoplasmic translocation and release of HMGB1. This inhibition was associated with a marked decrease (~ 60%) in nuclear histone acetyltransferase activity. In addition, the protective effects of liraglutide on renal IRI were largely abolished by the administration of exogenous HMGB1. When the GLP-1R antagonist exendin (9-39) was given to mice before each liraglutide administration, or GLP-1R-/- mice were used for the renal IRI experiments, the protective effect of liraglutide on renal IRI was partially reversed. Moreover, liraglutide pretreatment significantly inhibited HMGB1 nucleocytoplasmic translocation during hypoxic culture of HK-2 cells in vitro, but the addition of exendin (9-39) significantly eliminated this inhibition. We demonstrate here that liraglutide can exert a strong protective effect on lethal renal IRI in mice. This protection appears to be related to the inhibition of HMGB1 nuclear-cytoplasmic translocation and release and partially depends on GLP-1R. Thus, liraglutide may be therapeutically useful for the clinical prevention and treatment of organ IRI.

Abstract
Background C1q has been reported to reveal complement-independent roles in immune and non-immune cells. C1q binds to its specific receptors to regulate distinct functions that rely on the environment and cell types. Discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2) is activated by collagen and functions in wound healing by controlling matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression. Since C1q exhibits a collagen-like structure, we hypothesized that C1q might engage DDR2 to regulate wound healing and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Methods Cell-based assay, proximity ligation assay, ELISA, and surface plasmon analysis were utilized to investigate DDR2 and C1q binding. We also investigate the C1q-mediated in vitro wound healing ability using the human fibrosarcoma cell line, HT1080. Results C1q induced the phosphorylation of DDR2, p38 kinase, and ERK1/2. C1q and DDR2 binding improved cell migration and induced MMP2 and MMP9 expression. DDR2-specific shRNA reduced C1q-mediated cell migration for wound healing. Conclusions C1q is a new DDR2 ligand that promotes wound healing. These findings have therapeutic implications in wound healing-related diseases.

Abstract
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a typical insect-borne flavivirus and an important zoonotic pathogen that causes human viral encephalitis and reproductive failure in pigs. Various strategies were utilized by JEV to facilitate its replication. It is important to identify key molecules that mediate JEV infection, as well as to investigate their underlying mechanism. In this study, the critical role of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a non-histone, DNA-binding protein, was assessed in JEV propagation. Upon JEV infection, the HMGB1 mRNA and protein levels were down-regulated at late infection in Huh7 cells. JEV replication was significantly enhanced with HMGB1 knock-down by siRNA and knock-out by the CRISPR/Cas9 system, whereas JEV growth was restricted in HMGB1-over-expressed Huh7 cells. Further investigation showed that HMGB1 suppressed MAPK pathway, and demonstrated that the weakening of MAPK pathway negatively regulated JEV infection. Together, these results suggested that JEV restricted HMGB1 expression to maintain MAPK pathway activation for viral replication. Our data showed that HMGB1 played a key role in JEV infection, providing the potential for the development of a novel drug to combat JEV infection.

Abstract
Trypanosoma cruzi cytosolic tryparedoxin peroxidase (c-TXNPx) is a 2-Cys peroxiredoxin (Prx) with an important role in detoxifying host cell oxidative molecules during parasite infection. c-TXNPx is a virulence factor, as its overexpression enhances parasite infectivity and resistance to exogenous oxidation. As Prxs from other organisms possess immunomodulatory properties, we studied the effects of c-TXNPx in the immune response and analysed whether the presence of the peroxidatic cysteine is necessary to mediate these properties. To this end, we used a recombinant c-TXNPx and a mutant version (c-TXNPxC52S) lacking the peroxidatic cysteine. We first analysed the oligomerization profile, oxidation state and peroxidase activity of both proteins by gel filtration, Western blot and enzymatic assay, respectively. To investigate their immunological properties, we analysed the phenotype and functional activity of macrophage and dendritic cells and the T-cell response by flow cytometry after injection into mice. Our results show that c-TXNPx, but not c-TXNPxC52S, induces the recruitment of IL-12/23p40-producing innate antigen-presenting cells and promotes a strong specific Th1 immune response. Finally, we studied the cellular and humoral immune response developed in the context of parasite natural infection and found that only wild-type c-TXNPx induces proliferation and high levels of IFN-γ secretion in PBMC from chronic patients without demonstrable cardiac manifestations. In conclusion, we demonstrate that c-TXNPx possesses pro-inflammatory properties that depend on the presence of peroxidatic cysteine that is essential for peroxidase activity and quaternary structure of the protein and could contribute to rational design of immune-based strategies against Chagas disease.

Modifying the resolving cysteine affects the structure and hydrogen peroxide reactivity of peroxiredoxin 2. J Biol Chem 2021; 296:100494. [PMID: 33667550 PMCID: PMC8049995 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2021.100494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2020] [Revised: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2) is a thiol peroxidase with an active site Cys (C52) that reacts rapidly with H2O2 and other peroxides. The sulfenic acid product condenses with the resolving Cys (C172) to form a disulfide which is recycled by thioredoxin or GSH via mixed disulfide intermediates or undergoes hyperoxidation to the sulfinic acid. C172 lies near the C terminus, outside the active site. It is not established whether structural changes in this region, such as mixed disulfide formation, affect H2O2 reactivity. To investigate, we designed mutants to cause minimal (C172S) or substantial (C172D and C172W) structural disruption. Stopped flow kinetics and mass spectrometry showed that mutation to Ser had minimal effect on rates of oxidation and hyperoxidation, whereas Asp and Trp decreased both by ∼100-fold. To relate to structural changes, we solved the crystal structures of reduced WT and C172S Prdx2. The WT structure is highly similar to that of the published hyperoxidized form. C172S is closely related but more flexible and as demonstrated by size exclusion chromatography and analytical ultracentrifugation, a weaker decamer. Size exclusion chromatography and analytical ultracentrifugation showed that the C172D and C172W mutants are also weaker decamers than WT, and small-angle X-ray scattering analysis indicated greater flexibility with partially unstructured regions consistent with C-terminal unfolding. We propose that these structural changes around C172 negatively impact the active site geometry to decrease reactivity with H2O2. This is relevant for Prdx turnover as intermediate mixed disulfides with C172 would also be disruptive and could potentially react with peroxides before resolution is complete.

Abstract
Reversible oxidation of thiol proteins is an important cell signalling mechanism. In many cases, this involves generation or exposure of the cells to H2O2, and oxidation of proteins that are not particularly H2O2-reactive. There is a conundrum as to how these proteins are oxidised when other highly reactive proteins such as peroxiredoxins are present. This article discusses potential mechanisms, focussing on recent evidence for oxidation being localised within the cell, redox relays involving peroxiredoxins operating in some signalling pathways, and mechanisms for facilitated or directed oxidation of specific targets. These findings help define conditions that enable redox signalling but there is still much to learn regarding mechanisms.

Abstract
Recent studies demonstrated HMGB1, an extracellular inflammation molecule, played an important role on endothelial cells. This study aimed to define the role and related mechanism of HMGB1 in endothelial cells. Endothelial-specific deletion of HMGB1(HMGB1ECKO) was generated and Akt/eNOS signaling, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, endothelium dependent relaxation (EDR), and angiogenesis were determined in vitro and in vivo. Decreased activation of Akt/eNOS signaling, sprouting, and proliferation, and increased ROS production were evidenced in endothelial cells derived from HMGB1ECKO mice as compared with wild type controls. Decreased EDR and retarded blood flow recovery after hind limb ischemia were also demonstrated in HMGB1ECKO mice. Both impaired EDR and angiogenesis could be partly rescued by superoxide dismutase in HMGB1ECKO mice. In conclusion, intracellular HMGB1 might be a key regulator of endothelial Akt/eNOS pathway and ROS production, thus plays an important role in EDR regulation and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Low back pain following spine surgery is a major complication due to excessive epidural fibrosis, which compresses the lumbar nerve. The mechanisms of epidural fibrosis remain largely elusive. In the drainage samples from patients after spine operation, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and NETs inducer high-mobility group box 1 were significantly increased. In a mouse model of laminectomy, NETs developed in the wound area post epidural operation, accompanied with macrophage infiltration. In vitro, macrophages ingested NETs and thereby increased the elastase from NETs via the receptor for advanced glycation end product. Moreover, NETs boosted the expression of fibronectin in macrophages, which was dependent on elastase and could be partially blocked by DNase. NF-κB p65 and Smad pathways contributed to the increased expression fibronectin in NETs-treated macrophages. In the mouse spine operation model, post-epidural fibrosis was significantly mitigated with the administration of DNase I, which degraded DNA and cleaved NETs. Our study shed light on the roles and mechanisms of NETs in the scar formation post spine operation.

Abstract
Redox-mediated signal transduction depends on the enzymatic production of second messengers such as hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfite, as well as specific, reversible redox modifications of cysteine-residues in proteins. So-called thiol switches induce for instance conformational changes in specific proteins that regulate cellular pathways e.g., cell metabolism, proliferation, migration, gene expression and inflammation. Reduction, oxidation and disulfide isomerization are controlled by oxidoreductases of the thioredoxin family, including thioredoxins, glutaredoxins, peroxiredoxins and protein dsisulfide isomerases. These proteins are located in different cellular compartments, interact with substrates and catalyze specific reactions. Interestingly, some of these proteins are released by cells. Their extracellular functions and generally extracellular redox control have been widely underestimated. Here, we give an insight into extracellular redox signaling, extracellular thiol switches and their regulation by secreted oxidoreductases and thiol-isomerases, a topic whose importance has been scarcely studied so far, likely due to methodological limitations. We focus on the secreted redox proteins and characterized thiol switches in the ectodomains of membrane proteins, such as integrins and the metalloprotease ADAM17, which are among the best-characterized proteins and discuss their underlying mechanisms and biological implications.

Abstract
Nuclear protein HMGB1 is secreted in response to various stimuli and functions as a danger-associated molecular pattern. Extracellular HMGB1 induces inflammation, cytokine production, and immune cell recruitment via activation of various receptors. As HMGB1 does not contain an endoplasmic reticulum-targeting signal peptide, HMGB1 is secreted via the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi independently via an unconventional secretion pathway. However, the mechanism underlying HMGB1 secretion remains largely unknown. Here, we investigated the role of secretory autophagy machinery and vesicular trafficking in HMGB1 secretion. We observed that HSP90AA1 (heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1), a stress-inducible protein, regulates the translocation of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and its secretion through direct interaction. Additionally, geldanamycin, an HSP90AA1 inhibitor, reduced HMGB1 secretion. GORASP2/GRASP55 (golgi reassembly stacking protein 2), ARF1Q71L (ADP ribosylation factor 1), and SAR1AT39N (secretion associated Ras related GTPase 1A), which promoted unconventional protein secretion, increased HMGB1 secretion. HMGB1 secretion was inhibited by an early autophagy inhibitor and diminished in ATG5-deficient cells even when GORASP2 was overexpressed. In contrast, a late autophagy inhibitor increased HMGB1 secretion under the same conditions. The multivesicular body formation inhibitor GW4869 dramatically decreased HMGB1 secretion under HMGB1 secretion-inducing conditions. Thus, we demonstrated that secretory autophagy and multivesicular body formation mediate HMGB1 secretion.

Abstract
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a nonhistone chromatin-associated protein that has been widely reported to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of hematopoietic malignancies. As a representative damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP), HMGB1 normally exists inside cells but can be secreted into the extracellular environment through passive or active release. Extracellular HMGB1 binds with several different receptors and interactors to mediate the proliferation, differentiation, mobilization, and senescence of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). HMGB1 is also involved in the formation of the inflammatory bone marrow (BM) microenvironment by activating proinflammatory signaling pathways. Moreover, HMGB1-dependent autophagy induces chemotherapy resistance in leukemia and multiple myeloma. In this review, we systematically summarize the emerging roles of HMGB1 in carcinogenesis, progression, prognosis, and potential clinical applications in different hematopoietic malignancies. In summary, targeting the regulation of HMGB1 activity in HSCs and the BM microenvironment is highly beneficial in the diagnosis and treatment of various hematopoietic malignancies.

Abstract
Acute inflammation is a complex biological response of tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens or cell damage, and is essential for immune defense and proper healing. However, unresolved inflammation can lead to chronic disorders, including cancer and fibrosis. The High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) protein is a Damage-Associated Molecular Pattern (DAMP) molecule that orchestrates key events in inflammation by switching among mutually exclusive redox states. Fully reduced HMGB1 (frHMGB1) supports immune cell recruitment and tissue regeneration, while the isoform containing a disulphide bond (dsHMGB1) promotes secretion of inflammatory mediators by immune cells. Although it has been suggested that the tissue itself determines the redox state of the extracellular space and of released HMGB1, the dynamics of HMGB1 oxidation in health and disease are unknown. In the present work, we analyzed the expression of HMGB1 redox isoforms in different inflammatory conditions in skeletal muscle, from acute injury to muscle wasting, in tumor microenvironment, in spleen, and in liver after drug intoxication. Our results reveal that the redox modulation of HMGB1 is tissue-specific, with high expression of dsHMGB1 in normal spleen and liver and very low in muscle, where it appears after acute damage. Similarly, dsHMGB1 is highly expressed in the tumor microenvironment while it is absent in cachectic muscles from the same tumor-bearing mice. These findings emphasize the accurate and dynamic regulation of HMGB1 redox state, with the presence of dsHMGB1 tightly associated with leukocyte infiltration. Accordingly, we identified circulating, infiltrating, and resident leukocytes as reservoirs and transporters of dsHMGB1 in tissue and tumor microenvironment, demonstrating that the redox state of HMGB1 is controlled at both tissue and cell levels. Overall, our data point out that HMGB1 oxidation is a timely and spatially regulated process in physiological and pathological conditions. This precise modulation might play key roles to finetune inflammatory and regenerative processes.

PCV2 Induces Reactive Oxygen Species To Promote Nucleocytoplasmic Translocation of the Viral DNA Binding Protein HMGB1 To Enhance Its Replication. J Virol 2020; 94:JVI.00238-20.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is an important swine pathogen that causes significant economic losses to the pig industry. PCV2 interacts with host cellular factors to regulate its replication. High-mobility-group box 1 (HMGB1) protein, a major nonhistone protein in the nucleus, was recently discovered to participate in viral infections. Here, we demonstrate that nuclear HMGB1 negatively regulated PCV2 replication as shown by overexpression of HMGB1 or blockage of its nucleocytoplasmic translocation with ethyl pyruvate. The B box domain was essential in restricting PCV2 replication. Nuclear HMGB1 restricted PCV2 replication by sequestering the viral genome via binding to the Ori region. However, PCV2 infection induced translocation of HMGB1 from cell nuclei to the cytoplasmic compartment. Elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by PCV2 infection was closely associated with cytosolic translocation of nuclear HMGB1. Treatment of PCV2-infected cells with ethyl pyruvate or N-acetylcysteine downregulated PCV2-induced ROS production, suppressed nucleocytoplasmic HMGB1 translocation, and decreased PCV2 replication. Collectively, these findings offer new insight into the mechanism of the PCV2 evasion strategy: PCV2 manages to escape restriction of its replication by nuclear HMGB1 by inducing ROS to trigger the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic translocation of HMGB1.IMPORTANCE Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a small DNA virus that depends heavily on host cells for its infection. This study reports the close relationship between subcellular localization of host high-mobility-group box 1 (HMGB1) protein and viral replication during PCV2 infection. Restriction of PCV2 replication by nuclear HMGB1 is the early step of host defense at the host-pathogen interface. PCV2 then upregulates host reactive oxygen species (ROS) to prevent sequestration of its genome by expelling nuclear HMGB1 into the cytosol. It will be interesting to study if a similar evasion strategy is employed by other circoviruses such as beak and feather disease virus, recently discovered PCV3, and geminiviruses in plants. This study also provides insight into the justification and pharmacological basis of antioxidants as an adjunct therapy in PCV2 infection or possibly other diseases caused by the viruses that deploy the ROS-HMGB1 interaction favoring their replication.

Abstract
Most extracellular proteins are secreted via the classical endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi-dependent secretion pathway; however, some proteins, including a few danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), are secreted via non-classical ER/Golgi-independent secretion pathways. The evolutionarily conserved high mobility group box1 (HMGB1) is a ubiquitous nuclear protein that can be released by almost all cell types. HMGB1 lacks signal peptide and utilizes diverse non-canonical secretion mechanisms for its extracellular export. Although the post-translational modifications of HMGB1 were demonstrated, the oxidation of HMGB1 and secretion mechanisms are not highlighted yet. We currently investigated that peroxiredoxins I and II (PrxI/II) induce the intramolecular disulfide bond formation of HMGB1 in the nucleus. Disulfide HMGB1 is preferentially transported out of the nucleus by binding to the nuclear exportin chromosome-region maintenance 1 (CRM1). We determined the kinetics of HMGB1 oxidation in bone marrow-derived macrophage as early as a few minutes after lipopolysaccharide treatment, peaking at 4 h while disulfide HMGB1 accumulation was observed within the cells, starting to secrete in the late time point. We have shown that HMGB1 oxidation status, which is known to determine the biological activity in extracellular HMGB1, is crucial for the secretion of HMGB1 from the nucleus. This review summarizes selected aspects of HMGB1 redox biology relevant to the induction and propagation of inflammatory diseases. We implicate the immunological significance and the need for novel HMGB1 inhibitors through mechanism-based studies.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) are members of a highly conserved peroxidase family and maintain intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis. The family members are expressed in most organisms and involved in various biological processes, such as cellular protection against ROS, inflammation, carcinogenesis, atherosclerosis, heart diseases, and metabolism. In mammals, six PRDX members have been identified and are subdivided into three subfamilies: typical 2-Cys (PRDX1, PRDX2, PRDX3, and PRDX4), atypical 2-Cys (PRDX5), and 1-Cys (PRDX6) subfamilies. Knockout mouse models of PRDXs have been developed to investigate their in vivo roles. This review presents an overview of the knockout mouse models of PRDXs with emphases on the biological and physiological changes of these model mice.

Antioxid Redox Signal 2019; 31:954-993. [PMID: 31184204 PMCID: PMC6765066 DOI: 10.1089/ars.2019.7818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2019] [Accepted: 06/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Significance: High-mobility group protein box 1 (HMGB1), a ubiquitous nuclear protein, regulates chromatin structure and modulates the expression of many genes involved in the pathogenesis of lung cancer and many other lung diseases, including those that regulate cell cycle control, cell death, and DNA replication and repair. Extracellular HMGB1, whether passively released or actively secreted, is a danger signal that elicits proinflammatory responses, impairs macrophage phagocytosis and efferocytosis, and alters vascular remodeling. This can result in excessive pulmonary inflammation and compromised host defense against lung infections, causing a deleterious feedback cycle. Recent Advances: HMGB1 has been identified as a biomarker and mediator of the pathogenesis of numerous lung disorders. In addition, post-translational modifications of HMGB1, including acetylation, phosphorylation, and oxidation, have been postulated to affect its localization and physiological and pathophysiological effects, such as the initiation and progression of lung diseases. Critical Issues: The molecular mechanisms underlying how HMGB1 drives the pathogenesis of different lung diseases and novel therapeutic approaches targeting HMGB1 remain to be elucidated. Future Directions: Additional research is needed to identify the roles and functions of modified HMGB1 produced by different post-translational modifications and their significance in the pathogenesis of lung diseases. Such studies will provide information for novel approaches targeting HMGB1 as a treatment for lung diseases.
