Macrophage migration inhibitory factor in rheumatoid pericarditis [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1977 AbstractThe pericardial effusion in a case of rheumatoid pericarditis was studied to determine whether immune complexes and mediators of cellular immunity, represented by migration inhibitory factor (MIF), were present. MIF‐like activity was detected in the pericardial fluid, but only traces of immune complexes were revealed by ultracentrifugation. The

AHNAK and inflammatory markers predict poor survival in laryngeal carcinoma. [PDF]
, 2012 AHNAK/Desmoyokin is a giant protein which has been recently linked to reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, cellular migration and invasion. Here, we investigated the role of AHNAK in the pathophysiology of larynx carcinoma-one of the major subtypes ...

Denervated Schwann cells attract macrophages by secretion of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in a process regulated by interleukin-6 and LIF [PDF]
, 2002 Injury to peripheral nerves results in the infiltration of immune cells, which remove axonal- and myelin-derived material. Schwann cells could play a key role in this process by regulating macrophage infiltration.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor and glucocorticoid sensitivity [PDF]
Rheumatology, 2006 Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Treatment with GC is associated with significant dose-dependent side-effects. The pro-inflammatory cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has emerged in recent years as a candidate factor which could regulate GC ...

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor induces vascular leakage via autophagy
Biology Open, 2015 Vascular leakage is an important feature of acute inflammatory shock, which currently has no effective treatment. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that can induce vascular leakage and plays an important role in ...

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
