Cutting Edge: Deficiency of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Impairs Murine Airway Allergic Responses

TL;DR: Increased levels of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in serum, sputum, and bronchioalveolar lavage fluid from asthmatic patients and time/dose-dependent expression of MIF in eosinophils in response to phorbol myristate acetate suggest the participation of Mif in airway inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response of serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor levels to stimulation or suppression of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis in normal subjects and patients with Cushing's disease

TL;DR: The results show that in humans acute modulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis does not significantly alter circulating MIF levels, and suggests that the pituitary gland is not the major contributor to circulate MIF; an autocrine or paracrine role for pituitsary-derived MIF is more likely.
Journal ArticleDOI

Virtual screening and optimization yield low-nanomolar inhibitors of the tautomerase activity of Plasmodium falciparum macrophage migration inhibitory factor.

TL;DR: To identify small-molecule inhibitors of the tautomerase activity of PfMIF, virtual screening has been performed by docking 2.1 million compounds into the enzymatic site and identifying four compounds that were purchased and also shown to be active.
Journal ArticleDOI

MIF-2/D-DT enhances proximal tubular cell regeneration through SLPI- and ATF4-dependent mechanisms.

TL;DR: Results indicate that MIF-2/D-DT is an important factor in tubular cell regeneration and may be of therapeutic utility as a regenerative agent in the clinical setting of ischemic acute kidney injury.
