Journal ArticleDOI

Behavioural and neurobiological consequences of macrophage migration inhibitory factor gene deletion in mice

TL;DR: The findings support that MIF is involved in the generation of depressive-like symptoms, potentially by the effects of IFN-γ on dopamine metabolism and further suggests a sex-specific regulation of the involved mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon-gamma induces macrophage migration inhibitory factor synthesis and secretion by tubular epithelial cells.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that IFN‐γ induces rapid secretion of MIF by tubular epithelial cells, and suggest that this may be an important mechanism leading to inflammatory cell accumulation and activation during kidney disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mif-deficiency favors an atheroprotective autoantibody phenotype in atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: The atherosclerotic phenotype of Mif‐gene deletion in Apoe−/− mice is investigated and a novel link between MIF and B cells in atherogenesis is revealed, associated with enhanced B‐cell hypersensitivity, which in global but not BM‐restricted Mif deficiency favors an atheroprotective autoantibody profile in atherosclerosis.
Journal Article

Polyclonal activation of B lymphocytes by lipopolysaccharide requires macrophage-derived interleukin-1

TL;DR: B-cell activation by LPS was found to be strictly dependent on the presence of adherent macrophages, and antibody neutralization and cytokine reconstitution studies demonstrated that macrophage-derived interleukin- (IL-1) is a necessary co-factor for LPS-induced polyclonal activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased Levels of 16α-Hydroxyestrone-Modified Proteins in Pregnancy and in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

TL;DR: Measurements of the level of 16 alpha OHE-lysine present within proteins of varying half-lives obtained from normal subjects, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, and pregnant women provide a useful indicator of the long term 16alpha OHE status of an individual.
