| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Homeodynamics is one of the fundamental life phenomena in the fields of neurology, immunology, endocrinology, tissue repair and stem cells. During homeodynamics, the differentiation and activation of macrophages is involved in impairment of endothelium and angiogenesis. Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are thought to play roles in the homeodynamics. Among DAMPs, interleukin(IL)-18 and advanced glycation end product(AGE) as well as high mobility group box protein1 (HMGB1) promote the differentiation and activation of macrophages.Especially, HMGB1, a ubiquitous chromatin component, is released by necrotic cells, apoptotic cells, and cells in profound distress. HMGB1 plays a critical role as a proinflammatory mediator. HMGB1 represents an important new target for drug development in a variety of inflammatory disorders, including stroke, brain injury, arteriosclerosis, and cancer.
