Background Coronary ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury causes cardiomyocyte necrosis in a multi-step process that includes an inflammatory reaction. A recent study has suggested that high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB 1) is a late mediator of lethal sepsis and an early mediator of inflammation and necrosis following I/R injury. In the present study a neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) for HMGB1 was used to clarify the role of HMGB 1 in cardiac I/R injury.Methods and Results Rats underwent 30 min of left coronary artery occlusion followed by 60 min reperfusion. An intravenous injection of anti-HMGB1 mAb or control IgG was administered just before reperfusion. The infarct size was enlarged in the anti-HMGB1 mAb group in comparison with the control group (p
