Supplementary information

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) also known as glycosylation-inhibiting factor is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 12.5 kDa. It plays a mechanistic role as a cytokine that regulates immune responses specifically influencing macrophage behavior. MIF expresses in various cell types including immune and epithelial cells. It gets secreted by activated lymphocytes and macrophages pointing to its involvement in the inflammatory process.
Biological function summary

MIF acts as an upstream regulator of innate immunity and exerts broad influence on cytokine release. MIF elevates pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha and IL-1beta promoting an immune response. It does not typically form part of a complex but interacts with cell surface receptors like CD74 triggering intracellular signaling pathways. These interactions illustrate MIF as a regulator of immune cell recruitment and activation.

Pathways

MIF participates in the glucocorticoid receptor regulatory pathway and MAP kinase pathway. It shows interaction with JNK and ERK1/2 proteins which further map into important cellular reactions like stress response and cell proliferation. By integrating into these pathways MIF influences cell survival proliferation and inflammatory cascades emphasizing its role in immune regulation.

MIF links to inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and sepsis. It influences disease progression by interacting with proteins like TNF-alpha and IL-6 contributing to inflammatory damage. Elevated MIF levels often correlate with disease severity in rheumatoid arthritis acting as a potential target for therapy. Furthermore sepsis demonstrates a similar pattern where MIF modulation can impact patient outcomes underlining its relevance in clinical investigations.

Target data

Pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens (By similarity). The expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense (By similarity). Counteracts the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids (By similarity). Has phenylpyruvate tautomerase and dopachrome tautomerase activity (in vitro), but the physiological substrate is not known (PubMed : 10933783, PubMed : 16780921, PubMed : 19188446). It is not clear whether the tautomerase activity has any physiological relevance, and whether it is important for cytokine activity (PubMed : 10933783, PubMed : 16780921, PubMed : 19188446).
