Carbenoxolone Blocks Endotoxin-Induced Protein Kinase R (PKR) Activation and High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) Release

Abstract The pathogen- and damage-associated molecular patterns (for example, bacterial endotoxin and adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP)) activate the double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase R (PKR) to trigger the inflammasome-dependent high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) release. Extracellular ATP...
