High mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is a versatile molecule that affects the immune system in various ways; however, its role in cancer immunity has not yet been completely elucidated. In the current study, bone marrow‑derived dendritic cells from BALB/c mice and undifferentiated murine colon carcinoma CT26.WT cells were used as a cellular model to study the primary role of HMGB1 in colon cancer immunity. Annexin V and acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining was used to assess cellular apoptosis, Cell Counting kit 8 and lactate dehydrogenase assays were performed to evaluate cell viability and a monodansylcadaverine assay was used to detect autophagy. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression levels of proteins of interest. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase phosphorylation were also investigated in CT26.WT cells exposed to dendritic cells. The present results demonstrated that the CT26.WT cells underwent apoptotic cell death following co‑culturing with dendritic cells. However, pretreatment with HMGB1 resulted in a significant increase in viability of the CT26.WT cells exposed to dendritic cells. Furthermore, HMGB1 promoted ER stress‑induced autophagy through the activation of JNK, which inhibited the apoptosis triggered by the dendritic cells, suggesting that HMGB1 has a role in immune evasion by colon cancer cells.
