Abstract: Extracellular high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) can cause persistent inflammation via related receptors and signal pathways such as receptor for advanced glycation endproduct, Tolllike receptors and chemokines 12, which results in tumorigenesis. In patients with cervical cancer, the expression of HMGB1 increases with the rising of malignant grade. HMGB1 participates in the genesis and development, invasion and metastasis of cancer through multiple processes. The expression of HMGB1 is inhibited by RNA interference, thus affects the invasion and migration of cervical cancer cell, which provides a new concept for the development of antineoplastic agents.

Key words: HMGB1 protein, Uterine cervical neoplasms, Inflammation, Antineoplastic agents
