Abstract
High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), also called amphoterin, HMG1 and p30, is a highly conserved protein between different species that has various functions in nucleus such as stabilization of nucleosome formation, facilitation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bending and increasing the DNA transcription, replication and repair. It has also been indicated that HMGB1 acts as a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine with increasing concentrations in acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. Asthma is a common chronic respiratory disease associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. One central characteristic in its pathogenesis is airway inflammation. Considering the inflammatory role of HMGB1 and importance of inflammation in asthma pathogenesis, a better understanding of this protein is vital. This review describes the structure, cell surface receptors, signaling pathways and intracellular and extracellular functions of HMGB1, but also focuses on its inflammatory role in asthma. Moreover, this manuscript reviews experimental and clinical studies that investigated the pathologic role of HMGB1.

Aging (Albany NY) 2020; 11:3220-3237. [PMID: 31141790 PMCID: PMC6555453 DOI: 10.18632/aging.101975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2019] [Accepted: 05/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Clinical and experimental data have shown that the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is implicated in the pathogenesis of respiratory disorders. In this study, we genotyped five widely-evaluated variants in RAGE gene, aiming to assess their association with the risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma in northern Han Chinese. Genotypes were determined in 105 COPD patients, 242 asthma patients and 527 controls. In single-locus analysis, there was significant difference in the genotype distributions of rs1800624 between COPD patients and controls (p=0.022), and the genotype and allele distributions of rs1800625 differed significantly (p=0.040 and 0.016) between asthma patients and controls. Haplotype analysis revealed that haplotype T-A-G-T (allele order: rs1800625, rs1800624, rs2070600, rs184003) was significantly associated with a reduced COPD risk (OR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.06-0.60), and haplotype T-A-A-G was significantly associated with a reduced asthma risk (OR=0.19, 95% CI: 0.04-0.96). Further haplotype-phenotype analysis showed that high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and blood urea nitrogen were significant mediators for COPD (psim=0.041, 0.043 and 0.030, respectively), and total cholesterol was a significant mediator for asthma (psim=0.009). Taken together, our findings indicate that RAGE gene is a promising candidate for COPD and asthma, and importantly both disorders are genetically heterogeneous.
