The role of extracellular histones in critical illness and their application in acute pancreatitis

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that bind to genomic DNA. There are five subclasses: core histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4, and linker histone H1. Release of extracellular histones has been shown in a range of critical illness animal models and human patients including sepsis and acute pancreatitis. Extracellular histones act as damage-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMPs) on parenchymal epithelial and en...
