Objective: High-Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) promotes vascular injuries induced by limb Ischemia and Reperfusion (IR), but the molecular mechanisms are not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the role of Receptor for Advanced-Glycation End products (RAGE) in HMGB1-regulated inflammatory response and vascular injury in limb IR using the rat IR and cellular Hypoxia and Reoxygenation (HR) models. Methods: We analyzed the vascular structure and elastic fiber deposition in rat femoral arteries by histological staining. We determined gene expression in vascular tissues and cells by quantitative RT-PCR, Western blotting and immunofluorescence; analyzed the protein levels in rat serum or cell supernatant by ELISA; and assessed protein interaction by co-immunoprecipitation. We used CCK-8 for analyzing cell viability, and assessed apoptosis by Hoechst staining and flow cytometry. Results: RAGE inhibition by FPS-ZM1 significantly repressed rat vascular injury that was induced by limb IR treatment. HMGB1 and RAGE expression, P38, ERK1/2, P65 and IKBa phosphorylation, as well as HIF-1 a, NLRP3, Caspase-1, TNF-a and IL-6 expression and P65 in nucleus, increased in femoral arteries of a rat IR model and HUVEC undergoing HR treatment, whereas all the factors except HMGB1 and RAGE were inhibited by FPSZM1 treatment. In addition, we found that HMGB1 binds with RAGE in HUVEC undergoing HR treatment, which was suppressed by FPS-ZM1. Finally, the apoptosis of HUVEC also increased by HR treatment, but repressed under FPS-ZM1 treatment. Conclusion: HMGB1 binds with RAGE to promote vascular inflammation and endothelial cell apoptosis, which mediates vascular injury during acute limb IR.
