Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of immunochemical advanced glycosylation end products precedes and correlates with early manifestations of renal and retinal disease in diabetes.

TL;DR: Levels of collagen-linked AGEs, when measured by an AGE-specific ELISA, reveal a correlation with preclinical stages of diabetic nephropathy and early retinopathy not indicated by other methods and may prove useful as early markers of microangiopathy in type I diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constitutive production of inflammatory and mitogenic cytokines by rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts

TL;DR: In this article, conditions obtained from fibroblasts cultured from rheumatoid and certain other inflammatory synovia were observed to stimulate [3H]thymidine incorporation in an indicator murine fibroblast line.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of macrophage migration inhibitory factor or its receptor (CD74) attenuates growth and invasion of DU-145 prostate cancer cells.

TL;DR: Results showed greater cell surface CD74 in DU-145 prostate cancer cells that bind to MIF and, thus, mediate MIF-activated signal transduction, which may provide new, targeted specific therapies for androgen-independent prostate cancer.

Constitutive Production of Inflammatory and Mitogenic Cytokines by Rheumatoid

TL;DR: Persistent cytokine production by synovial fibroblasts may play an important role in the continued recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells in chronic arthritis and in the formation of rheumatoid pannus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is a critical mediator of the activation of immune cells by exotoxins of Gram-positive bacteria

TL;DR: Gram-positive exotoxins are extremely potent inducers of MIF secretion and establish a critical role for MIF and the macrophage in the pathogenesis of the TSSs and in the innate immune response.
