Journal ArticleDOI
Association of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) polymorphisms with risk of meningitis from Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Sarah B Doernberg,Bernhard Schaaf,Klaus Dalhoff,Lin Leng,Anna Beitin,Vincent Quagliarello,Richard Bucala +6 more
TL;DR: There is an association between a high-expression MIF allele and occurrence of pneumococcal meningitis in patients diagnosed with invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Polymorphisms in the Gene Encoding Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Are Associated With Gram-Negative Bacteremia in Older Adults
Rituparna Das,Lakshman Subrahmanyan,Ivana V. Yang,David van Duin,David van Duin,Rebecca Levy,Marta Piecychna,Lin Leng,Ruth R. Montgomery,Albert C. Shaw,David A. Schwartz,Richard Bucala +11 more
TL;DR: This work suggests that older adults with low expression of MIF may be predisposed to hyporesponsiveness to lipopolysaccharide and gram-negative bacterial infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelial cell-secreted MIF reduces pericyte contractility and enhances neutrophil extravasation
Amanda S. Pellowe,Maor Sauler,Yue Hou,Jonathan Merola,Rebecca Liu,Brenda M. Calderon,Holly M. Lauridsen,Mariah R. Harris,Lin Leng,Yi Zhang,Pathricia V. Tilstam,Jordan S. Pober,Richard Bucala,Patty J. Lee,Anjelica L. Gonzalez +14 more
TL;DR: A novel role is demonstrated for EC‐derived macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in inhibiting PC contractility and facilitating neutrophil transmigration and it is concluded that paracrine signals from EC via MIF decrease PC contraction and enhance PC‐regulated neutrophIL transmigration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibrocytes in Fibrotic Diseases and Wound Healing
Gerrit Grieb,Richard Bucala +1 more
TL;DR: Detailed understanding of fibrocyte biology and their regulation in different disorders is desirable to advance new therapies for the treatment of chronic fibrosing disorders such as interstitial lung disease and to promote wound repair.
