Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to HMGB1 variants that maintain HMGB1 wild type chemoattractant function while displaying abolished cytokine and/or chemokine stimulating properties. Such molecules are useful in therapy.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for treating injured skeletal muscle or fractured bone in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject an amount of a High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) variant effective to promote healing of injured skeletal muscle or fractured bone, wherein the variant HMGB1 consists of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein cysteine residues at positions 23, 45, and 106 of SEQ ID NO: 1 are replaced by serine residues. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HMGB1 variant is a cell chemoattractant that does not stimulate cytokine and/or chemokine production from a cell. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HMGB1 variant will not induce TNF expression in macrophages. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HMGB1 variant is administered to the subject systemically. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HMGB1 variant is administered to the subject by local injection to the muscle or bone to be treated. 6. A method for limiting damage to muscle in a subject having muscle that has been injured, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) variant, wherein the variant HMGB1 consists of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein cysteine residues at positions 23, 45, and 106 of SEQ ID NO: 1 are replaced by serine residues. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the HMGB1 variant is administered to the subject by local injection to the muscle. 8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the HMGB1 variant is administered to the subject systemically. 9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the muscle is skeletal muscle.
