HMGB1 Levels Are Increased in Patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, Correlate with Early Onset of Disease, and Are Independent of Disease Duration.

• High mobility group box chromosomal protein 1 (HMGB1) has been implicated as a mediator of inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), while its role in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has not been described. To evaluate the role of HMGB1 in the inflammatory process in JIA and its potential as a therapeutic target, we investigated whether extracellular HMGB1 is detectable in JIA and if so, to correlate the levels with established inflammatory markers and clinical measures.
