Compartmentalized Protective and Detrimental Effects of Endogenous Macrophage Migration-Inhibitory Factor Mediated by CXCR2 in a Mouse Model of Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion

TL;DR: Although MIF confers protective effects by improving myocardial healing and function through CXCR2 in resident cells, thereby complementing paracrine effects through CD74/AMP-activated protein kinase, it exerts detrimental effects on CxCR2-bearing inflammatory cells by increasing monocyte infiltration and impairing heart function.
Journal ArticleDOI

TAp63 Regulates VLA-4 Expression and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Cell Migration to the Bone Marrow in a CD74-Dependent Manner

TL;DR: This study shows that stimulation of CD74 with its natural ligand, migration inhibitory factor, initiates a signaling cascade that results in upregulation of TAp63, which directly regulates CLL survival and could form the basis of novel therapeutic strategies aimed at blocking homing of CLL cells in their return to the BM and attenuating their survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

The emerging role of MIF in septic shock and infection.

TL;DR: The protein mediator described originally as macrophage migration inhibitory factor has been “re-discovered” recently to be both a novel pituitary hormone and a pro-inflammatory, Macrophage-derived cytokine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for vascular macrophage migration inhibitory factor in destabilization of human atherosclerotic plaques.

TL;DR: The ability of MIF to induce MMP-1 expression and collagenolytic activity in VSMCs suggests that MIF may play a role in the destabilization of human atherosclerotic plaques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) in Experimental Uric Acid Nephropathy

TL;DR: Intrarenal granulomas in urate nephropathy may be the consequence of a crystal induced DTH reaction mediated by MIF, which is a known mediator of delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH).
