Research Abstract |
A representative damage-associated molecular pattern, high mobility group box-1(HMGB1), was released from neuronal nuclei to extracellular space via cytosol after ischemia or traumatic brain injury. The released HMGB1 induced contractile response in vascular endothelial cells and pericytes leading to the increased permeability of BBB. Among HMGB1-derived peptides, some had plural activities. Anti-HMGB1 monoclonal antibody inhibited the BBB permeability and inflammatory responses induced by traumatic brain injury.
