Macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2), a type of leukocyte chemokine, is primarily produced by macrophages, and levels increase significantly in early inflammation. However, the precise biological functions and mechanisms of MIP-2 in the development of inflammation remain unclear. The purposes of the present study were to investigate the role of MIP-2 in inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro and to determine the possibility of blocking the high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) signalling pathway via MIP-2 inhibition.
