corticoids [6 ]. Indeed, MIF is the only molecule known Introduction to over-ride the anti-inflammatory action of glucocorticoids, putting MIF at a key point in the regulation of Macrophage and T-cell infiltration occurs in virtually the inflammatory and immune responses. all forms of human glomerulonephritis [1]. The degree of renal impairment correlates with macrophage and T-cell accumulation...
متن کاملCorrelation between urine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)/creatinine ratio and time after kidney transplantation
Abstract Background: Despite the long-standing association of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) with delayed-type hypersensitivity response, the potential role of MIF in chronic allograft nephropathy is unknown. The association between upregulation of MIF expression, macrophage and T cell infiltration and the severity of chronic allograft nephropathy suggests that MIF may be an ...

متن کاملCurrent developments of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) inhibitors.
The cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is regarded as a major regulator of inflammation and a key mediator that counter-regulates the inhibitory effects of glucocorticoids within the immune system. Therefore, MIF is a therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In addition, MIF was found to be implicated in cancer pathogenesis. Current therap...
متن کاملI-43: Expression Profile of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) Signaling Pathway as A Potentional Biomarker in Pathophysiology of Endometriosis
Background MIF via its receptor, CD74, initiates a signaling cascade that leads to proliferation and survival of cells. Also, MIF binding to CD74 activates p38 signaling pathways that lead to positive effect on the expression of COX-2. The aim of this study was to evaluate the gene expression profile of MIF, CD74 and COX-2 in normal, ectopic and eutopic endometrium during menstrual cycle. The e...
