“…Interestingly, the oxidative stress, in return, could enhance HMGB1 translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and release, possibly through the keap1/Nrf2 pathway, which is redox regulated and plays a key role in protecting cells against redox stress (21,44,78). Due to the oxidative stress, circulating HMGB1 released by damaged or necrotic hepatocytes during liver injury carries the signature of the posttranslational modifications (5,20). There are several types of serum HMGB1 isoforms, including disulfide-bonded hyperacetylated HMGB1, disulfide-bonded nonacetylated HMGB1, and HMGB1 phosphorylated in serine 35, in liver diseases, such as alcoholic liver disease and drug-induced liver injury (5,20).…”
