Abstract:Background: The molecular mechanisms of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) are diverse and still in puzzle. VCI could be attributed to chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH). CCH may cause a cascade of reactions involved in ischemia and neuro-inflammation which plays important roles in the pathophysiology of VCI. High-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is a non-histone protein that serves as a damage-associated molecular signal leading to cascades of inflammation. Increased level of HMGB1 has been established… Show more
