Effects of stanniocalcin-1 overexpressing hepatocellular carcinoma cells on macrophage migration.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Human stanniocalcin-1 (STC1) is a glycoprotein known to participate in inflammation and tumor progression. However, its role in cancer-macrophage interaction at the tumor environment is not known.

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
Circulation, 2008 The highly conserved and archetypical yet atypical cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) fulfills pleiotropic immune functions in many acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. Recent evidence has emerged from both expression and functional studies to implicate MIF in various aspects of cardiovascular disease. The present review is aimed

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor in Nodding syndrome
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021 Nodding syndrome (NS) is a catastrophic and enigmatic childhood epilepsy, accompanied by multiple neurological impairments and neuroinflammation. Of all the infectious, environmental and psychological factors associated with NS, the major culprit is Onchocerca Volvulus (Ov)–a parasitic worm transmitted to human by blackflies.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor in acute kidneyinjury
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex clinical syndrome with multiple etiologies and pathogenesis, which lacks early biomarkers and targeted therapy. Recently, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) family protein have received increasing attention owing to its pleiotropic protein molecule character in acute kidney injury, where it performed a ...

Anti-TNF therapy reduces serum levels of chemerin in rheumatoid arthritis: a new mechanism by which anti-TNF might reduce inflammation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Chemerin is a specific chemoattractant for macrophages and dendritic cells (DC). In addition, it can rapidly stimulate macrophage adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins and adhesion molecules and is able to activate fibroblast-like ...

Interaction of macrophage-migration-inhibitory factor with haematin [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1998 Macrophage-migration-inhibitory factor (MIF) is retained by S-hexylglutathione–agarose but is not specifically eluted in high yield. Human liver MIF was purified in high yield using retention by phenyl-agarose at low ionic strength and cation-exchange FPLC as described for bovine lens MIF [Rosengren, Bucala, Åman, Jacobsson, Odh, Metz and Rorsman (1996)

The Potential Role of Cytokines and Growth Factors in the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease
Cells, 2021 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most prominent neurodegenerative diseases, which impairs cognitive function in afflicted individuals. AD results in gradual decay of neuronal function as a consequence of diverse degenerating events.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor, a role in COPD [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2016 Macrophage migration inhibitor factor (MIF) is a pluripotent cytokine associated with several different inflammatory conditions, but its role within lung inflammation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is unclear. This study aimed to examine MIF in both stable COPD and during acute exacerbations (AECOPD).

The Dichotomic Role of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine expressed by different cell types and exerting multiple biological functions. It has been shown that MIF may be involved in several disorders, including neurodegenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson disease (PD), and Huntington disease (HD), that
