Tumor growth-promoting properties of macrophage migration inhibitory factor.

TL;DR: Macrophage migration inhibitor factor is a highly conserved and evolutionarily ancient mediator with pleiotropic effects that has been implicated in tumor growth and progression and its effects extend to multiple processes fundamental to tumorigenesis such as tumor proliferation, evasion of apoptosis, angiogenesis and invasion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autoimmune diseases: MIF as a therapeutic target.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of MIF-directed therapies as a novel therapeutic approach is presented, which covers literature from the past 10 years and shows that MIF inhibition has been shown to be efficacious in many experimental and pre-clinical studies of autoimmune inflammatory diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced expression of receptor for advanced glycation end-products is associated with low circulating soluble isoforms of the receptor in Type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Despite an increase in full-length RAGE expression, esRAGE expression was down-regulated in the diabetic patients, and serum sRAGE and esRAge was also reduced, Hence increased full- lengths RAGE levels are not associated with a similar increase in sRAge isoforms levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toll-like receptors in systemic lupus erythematosus; prospects for therapeutic intervention.

TL;DR: Pharmacologic modulation of TLR-directed pathways may offer new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of SLE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small molecule inhibition of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase suppresses t cell activation.

TL;DR: In conclusion, inhibition of the PFKFB3 kinase activity attenuates the activation of T cells in vitro and suppresses T cell dependent immunity in vivo and indicates that small molecule antagonists of PFK FB3 may prove effective as T cell immunosuppressive agents.
