Introduction: High-motility group box (HMGB)-1 is the focus of recent cancer research. HMGB1 plays a critical role in cancer development, progression, and metastasis by activation of cancer cells, enhancement of tumor angiogenesis, and suppression of host anti-cancer immunity. HMGB1 is a relevant target for cancer treatment. Areas covered: This review aims to overview the biological feature and diverses role in cancer of HMGB1. HMGB1 is a non-histone chromosomal protein, a secretory protein binding to the receptor for advanced glycation end products in cancer cells andmonocyte-lineage immune cells, and a DNA presenting chaperon for toll-like receptors. HMGB1 enhances proliferation, motility, invasion and survival of cancer cells. In contrast, HMGB1 induces apoptosis in monocyte-lineage immune cells and inhibits tumor-infiltrating macrophages and dendritic cells, lymph node sinus macrophages and liver Kupffer cells to attenuate anti-cancer immune responses and anti-metastatic organ defense. Then the novel techniques for inhibiting HMGB1 are reviewed. Expert opinion: Various techniques targeting HMGB1 are subjected to trial. HMGB1 targeting is a potential therapeutic techniqueagainst cancer development, progression, and especially metastasis. Technical breakthroughs in application of HMGB1 targeting to human diseases are now urgently required.
