Abstract: Autophagy is recognized as “programmed cell survival”. Autophagy is also a catabolic process, which is critical to maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to cytotoxic insult. High-mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) is a classical damage associated pattern molecule. A lot of findings demonstrate that HMGB1 can promote inflammatory response and cell differentiation. But, recent studies have shown that the expression of HMGB1 has a significant impact on the level of autophagy. This review focuses on recent progress concerning the mechanism of HMGB1-mediated autophagy.
