The nuclear protein high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB-1) promotes inflammation in sepsis, but little is known about its role in brain ischemia-induced inflammation. We report that HMGB-1 and its receptors, receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), and TLR4, were expressed in normal brain and in cultured neurons, endothelia, and glial cells. During middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), in mice, HMGB-1 immunostaining rapidly disappeared from all cells within the striatal ischemic core from 1 h after onset of occlusion. High-mobility group box 1 translocation from nucleus to cytoplasm was observed within the cortical periinfarct regions 2 h after ischemic reperfusion (2 h MCAO). High-mobility group box 1 predominantly translocated to the cytoplasm or disappeared in cells that colabeled with the neuronal marker NeuN. Furthermore, RAGE was robustly expressed in the periinfarct region after MCAO. Cellular release of HMGB-1 was detected by immunoblotting of cerebrospinal fluid as early as 2 h after ischemic reperfusion (2 h MCAO). High-mobility group box 1 released from neurons, in vitro, after glutamate excitotoxicity, maintained biologic activity and induced glial expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha). Anti-HMGB-1 antibody suppressed TNFalpha upregulation in astrocytes exposed to conditioned media from glutamate-treated neurons. Moreover, TNFalpha and the cytokine intercellular adhesion molecule-1 increased in cultured glia and endothelial cells, respectively, after adding recombinant HMGB-1. In conclusion, HMGB-1 is released early after ischemic injury from neurons and may contribute to the initial stages of the inflammatory response.
