Abstract: High mobility protein B1 (HMGB1) is a member of high mobility group (HMG), which exist
in eukaryotic cells. HMGB1 is not only a kind of nuclear protein, but also a pro-inflammatory factor. The
increasing level of HMGB1 in the body often suggests cell destruction or inflammatory reaction. Various
causes of liver injury can lead to the release of HMGB1, and the content of HMGB1 not only help diagnose
liver injury, but also predict the prognosis of liver injury. To study the mechanism of HMGB1 in liver injury
can help to get a certain guiding significance for therapeutic targets. This article will focus on the mechanisms
of HMGB1 involved in liver injury, the relationship between HMGB1 and liver injury, the prognosis and
treatment targets of liver injury, and future application prospects.
