Phagocytosis is a basic immune response to the invasion of pathogens. High mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) is a DNA chaperone that is associated with phagocytosis. However, its influence on phagocytosis is debated. In the present study, HMGB1-mutant, HMGB1-overexpressing and HMGB1-silenced RAW264.7 cells were constructed. In addition, HMGB1 conditional knockout mice were constructed to determine the influence of HMGB1 on phagocytosis. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to stimulate the translocation of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Zymosan particles were used to test the phagocytic function of the macrophages. Our results showed that the accumulation of HMGB1 in the nucleus enhances the phagocytic function of the macrophages. By interacting with P53, nuclear HMGB1 may remain in the nucleus and decrease the negative influence of P53 on the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). The increase in phosphorylated FAK promotes the formation of pseudopods and enhances the phagocytic ability of macrophages.

The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanism of chrysophanol(Chr) in reducing inflammation and foam cell formation induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL) and to investigate the targets and pathways related to effects of Chr on coronary atherosclerosis, providing a theoretical basis for the development of new clinical drugs. RAW264.7 macrophages were cultured in vitro, and after determining the appropriate concentrations of Chr and ox-LDL for treating RAW264.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research indicates that blocking the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL necrosome can help reduce inflammatory pain linked to conditions like demyelination in the central nervous system.
- This study tests necrostatin-1s (Nec-1s), a specific RIPK1 inhibitor, on LPS-induced inflammatory pain in male mice, assessing pain sensitivity through hot plate tests and examining related protein changes.
- Results show that Nec-1s not only prevents LPS-induced pain relief but also reverses the activation of key proteins and signals involved in inflammation and demyelination, suggesting that RIPK1 inhibitors could be a promising treatment for managing inflammatory pain.

Objective This study investigated the regulatory effect of high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) in the peripheral blood of patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) on myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) and Th17/regulatory T cells (Treg) balance. Methods The study enrolled 30 newly diagnosed ITP patients and 30 healthy controls.Flow cytometry was used to measure the proportion of mDC, Th17, and Treg cells in the peripheral blood of ITP patients and healthy controls.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease where pain, driven by both inflammatory and non-inflammatory processes, is a major concern for patients. This pain can persist even after joint inflammation subsides. High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a non-histone-DNA binding protein located in the nucleus that plays a key role in processes such as DNA transcription, recombination, and replication.
