Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a crucial diagnostic and therapeutic approach for coronary heart disease. Contrast agents’ exposure during PCI is associated with a risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). CI-AKI is characterized by a sudden decline in renal function occurring as a result of exposure to intravascular contrast agents, which is associated with an increased risk of poor prognosis. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying CI-AKI involve renal medullary hypoxia, direct cytotoxic effects, endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. To date, there is no effective therapy for CI-AKI. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), as a damage-associated molecular pattern molecule, is released extracellularly by damaged cells or activated immune cells and binds to related receptors, including toll-like receptors and receptor for advanced glycation end product. In renal injury, HMGB1 is expressed in renal tubular epithelial cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, and glomerular cells, involved in the pathogenesis of various kidney diseases by activating its receptors. Therefore, this review provides a theoretical basis for HMGB1 as a therapeutic intervention target for CI-AKI.
