Aberrant Expression of High Mobility Group Box Protein 1 in the Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
17 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: High Mobility Group Box Protein 1 (HMGB1) is a DNA-binding protein that exerts inflammatory or pro-repair effects upon translocation from the nucleus. We postulate aberrant HMGB1 expression in immune-mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM).
