Disease

MIF_HUMAN Genetic variations in MIF are associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis systemic juvenile (RASJ) [MIM:604302. An inflammatory articular disorder with systemic-onset beginning before the age of 16. It represents a subgroup of juvenile arthritis associated with severe extraarticular features and occasionally fatal complications. During active phases of the disorder, patients display a typical daily spiking fever, an evanescent macular rash, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, serositis, myalgia and arthritis.

Function

MIF_HUMAN Pro-inflammatory cytokine. Involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. The expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense. Counteracts the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids. Has phenylpyruvate tautomerase and dopachrome tautomerase activity (in vitro), but the physiological substrate is not known. It is not clear whether the tautomerase activity has any physiological relevance, and whether it is important for cytokine activity.[1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

In a screening program to discover therapeutic drugs for heart diseases, we identified BTZO-1, a 1,3-benzothiazin-4-one derivative, which activated antioxidant response element (ARE)-mediated gene expression and suppressed oxidative stress-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis in vitro. An active BTZO-1 derivative for ARE-activation protected heart tissue during ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), which is known to protect cells from oxidative insult, was identified as a specific BTZO-1-binding protein. BTZO-1 binds to MIF with a K(d) of 68.6 nM, and its binding required the intact N-terminal Pro1. MIF, in the presence of BTZO-1, activated the glutathione S-transferase Ya subunit (GST Ya) gene ARE, whereas reduction of cellular MIF protein levels by siRNA suppressed BTZO-1-induced GST Ya expression. These results suggest that BTZO-1 activates the GST Ya gene ARE by interacting with MIF.

BTZO-1, a cardioprotective agent, reveals that macrophage migration inhibitory factor regulates ARE-mediated gene expression.,Kimura H, Sato Y, Tajima Y, Suzuki H, Yukitake H, Imaeda T, Kajino M, Oki H, Takizawa M, Tanida S Chem Biol. 2010 Dec 22;17(12):1282-94. doi: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2010.10.011.
