Relationship between vascular reactivity and expression of HMGB1 in a rat model of septic aorta.
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a ubiquitous nuclear protein, induces several inflammatory diseases and functions as a fatal factor when released extracellularly. The effect of HMGB1 on vascular reactivity during sepsis remains to be clarified. ⋯ The present results strongly suggest that HMGB1 plays an important role in vascular malfunction from an early phase of sepsis.
