O-28: Endometriosis Is Influenced by The Promoter Haplotype-Based Expression of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF)
Background: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by accumulated active macrophages in ectopic tissue of endometriosis. MIF is involved in pathophysiological events of endometriosis, such as angiogenesis and cell proliferation. MIF that stimulates the synthesis of PGE2, leads to over-expression of local estradiol synthesis in endometrio...
متن کاملIsoform-specific targeting of ROCK proteins in immune cells
Rho-associated kinase 1 (ROCK1) and ROCK2 are activated by Rho GTPase and control cytoskeleton rearrangement through modulating the phosphorylation of their down-stream effector molecules. Although these 2 isoforms share more than 90% homology within their kinase domain the question of whether ROCK proteins function identically in different cell types is not clear. By using both pharmacological...
متن کاملMacrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor: A Multifunctional Cytokine in Rheumatic Diseases
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) was originally identified in the culture medium of activated T lymphocytes as a soluble factor that inhibited the random migration of macrophages. MIF is now recognized to be a multipotent cytokine involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. Moreover, the pivotal nature of its involvement highlights the importance of MIF to the p...
متن کاملOxidized macrophage migration inhibitory factor is a potential new tissue marker and drug target in cancer
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine, which was shown to be upregulated in cancers and to exhibit tumor promoting properties. Unlike other cytokines, MIF is ubiquitously present in the circulation and tissue of healthy subjects. We recently described a previously unrecognized, disease-related isoform of MIF, designated oxMIF, which is present in the circulation...

Background: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by active macrophages accumulated in ectopic tissue of endometriosis. It involves in pathophysiological events of endometriosis such as angiogenesis, cell proliferation and it can stimulate the synthesis of PGE2 that are necessary for survival and establishment of ectopic endometriosis t...
