Selective Proinflammatory Activation of Astrocytes by High-Mobility Group Box 1 Protein Signaling

Extracellular high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) triggers inflammatory events in the brain. We demonstrate that astrocytes, the main glial cells in the brain, acquire a specific reactive phenotype when exposed to HMGB1. This cell activation, which involves the receptor for advanced glycation...
