HMGB1 is a DNA-binding nuclear protein, released actively following cytokine stimulation as well as passively during cell death. It is the prototypic damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule and has been implicated in several inflammatory disorders. HMGB1 signals via the receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE) and members of the toll-like receptor (TLR) family. The most prominent HMGB1 protein and mRNA expression arthritis are present in pannus regions, where synovial tissue invades articular cartilage and bone. HMGB1 promotes the activity of proteolytic enzymes, and osteoclasts need HMGB1 for functional maturation. As a non-histone nuclear protein, HMGB1 has a dual function. Inside the cell, HMGB1 binds DNA, regulating transcription, and determining chromosomal architecture. Outside the cell, HMGB1 can serve as an alarmin to activate the innate system and mediate a wide range of physiological and pathological responses. Extracellular HMGB1 represents an optimal " necrotic marker" selected by the innate immune system to recognize tissue damage and initiate reparative responses. However, extracellular HMGB1 also acts as a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine that contributes to the pathogenesis of diverse inflammatory and infectious disorders. HMGB1 has been successfully therapeutically targeted in multiple preclinical models of infectious and sterile diseases including arthritis. As shown in studies on patients as well as animal models, HMGB1 can play an important role in the pathogenesis of the rheumatic disease, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and polymyositis among others. Besides, enhanced postmyocardial infarction remodeling in type 1 diabetes mellitus was partially mediated by HMGB1 activation...

The extracellular region can be proteolytically shed fromPurity:>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue StainingDescription:NG2, also known as CSPG4, MCSP, and AN2, is a 400-500 kDa transmembrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) with a protein core of approximately 300 kDa. The extracellular region can be proteolytically shed from the cell surface. Mature human NG2 consists of a 2195 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD), a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 77 aa cytoplasmic domain. Within aa 1583-2224, human NG2/CSPG4 shares 83% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat CSPG4. NG2 binds to the extracellular matrix proteins Laminin, Tenascin, and Collagens II, V, and VI as well as to the growth factors FGF-2 and PDGF-AA. NG2 is expressed on glial cell progenitors known as O2A cells or NG2 glia. These cells are neuronally responsive and differentiate primarily into oligodendrocytes but also into astrocytes. NG2 associates with PDGF R alpha and the AMPA R subunit GluR2. It is up-regulated on microglial cells during inflammation and contributes to the induction of inflammatory mediators. Various CSPGs in the brain inhibit neurite outgrowth through interactions with Nogo Receptor/NgR1 and NgR3. This recombinant protein product corresponds to the last 5 CSPG repeats, a region which can independently inhibit neurite outgrowth. NG2 is also expressed on vascular mural cells and capillaries. It promotes vascular endothelial cell (EC) migration and angiogenesis through interactions with Galectin-3 and Integrin alpha 3 beta 1 on EC, Plasminogen, and Angiostatin. NG2 is also expressed on a variety of tumors where it contributes to tumor cell adhesion, motility, and invasion... Read More |
