中文摘要：

高迁移率族蛋白B1（high mobility group box-1,HMGB1）是一种在哺乳动物中广泛存在、进化中高度保守的蛋白质。细胞核定位序列的存在使得生理状态下的HMGB1主要存在于细胞核内,但其在细胞内外的不同位置具有不同的生物学功能。细胞外的HMGB1与脓毒症、肿瘤、风湿免疫、动脉粥样硬化及缺血再灌注损伤等多种疾病密切相关。HMGB1由细胞核内迁移至细胞质再释放到细胞外的过程,涉及核定位序列的翻译后修饰、主动分泌或被动释放等机制。

英文摘要：

High mobility group box-1 （HMGB1） is an evolutionarily conserved protein, which widely exists in mammals. HMGB1 contains the nucleus localization sequences. Intracellular and extracellular HMGB1 shows different biological functions. Extracellular HMGB1 is closely related to sepsis, cancer, rheumatoid immune, atherosclerosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury and so on. The mobilization of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and subsequent release involves the processes of post-translation modification, active secretion and nuclear localization.
