HMGB1 Protects the Heart Against Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury via PI3K/AkT Pathway-Mediated Upregulation of VEGF Expression

Delivery of exogenous high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) may exert a beneficial effect on myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. Since the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) in the myocardium mediates the cardio...
