Background
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an upstream regulator of the innate and adaptive immune response that is widely expressed and that exhibits chemokine-like activities. MIF play a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, asthma, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. MIF is expressed by the ischemic myocardium and that it may exhibit an overall cardioprotective role during I/R injury. MIF regulates inflammatory processes by recruiting immune cells, amplifying cytokine production, inhibiting apoptosis and counter-regulating the immunosuppressive action of glucocorticoids.
