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...

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 ...

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...
متن کاملRole of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in allergic and endotoxin-induced airway inflammation in mice.
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has recently been forwarded as a critical regulator of inflammatory conditions, and it has been hypothesized that MIF may have a role in the pathogenesis of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Hence, we examined effects of MIF immunoneutralization on the development of allergen-induced eosinophilic inflammation as well as on lipo...

متن کاملMacrophage migration inhibitory factor, a role in COPD.
Macrophage migration inhibitor factor (MIF) is a pluripotent cytokine associated with several different inflammatory conditions, but its role within lung inflammation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is unclear. This study aimed to examine MIF in both stable COPD and during acute exacerbations (AECOPD). The study included 433 patients with COPD aged 41-76 and 325 individuals fro...
