Abstract
In Alzheimer's disease, which is characterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain tissue, many components such as acute phase proteins, cytokines, and proteases contribute to the progression of the disease or are part of the pathological process. The macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) gene encodes a cytokine, which is secreted by lymphocytes, and has a role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune/inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The purpose of this study to investigate the association between Alzheimer disease and MIF gene promoter polymorphisms. The 205 patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) and 130 age-sex matched healthy individuals were investigated in terms of MIF -173 G/C and MIF -794 CATT polymorphisms. The genotyping of MIF -173 G/C was determined using the RT-PCR method. MIF-794 CATT polymorphism was analyzed using PCR and DNA Sequencing. In terms of binary genotypes and haplotypes, the 5/5-GC (p = 0.004), 6/7-GG (p = 0.02) and, 6/6-GG (p = 0.026) binary genotypes, and 5-C (p = 0.003), 7-G (p = 0.026) and 6-G (p = 0.025) haplotypes were differed significantly between the patients and the controls. This is the first study investigating the relationship between AD and MIF in terms of different genotypes, haplotypes and, alleles. The fact that the binary genotype and allele distributions are significantly different between the patient and control group, suggests that this MIF variants may play a role in the pathogenesis of AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophage inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by several cells, including those in the immune system and the skin. The MIF gene contains the SNP -173 G> C and STR -794 CATT5-8 polymorphisms in the promoter region capable of affecting its activity. Our objective was to investigate the MIF polymorphisms as a risk factor for plaque psoriasis (PP) in the Mexican population. METHODS We genotyped both MIF polymorphism (rs5844572 and rs755622) in 224 PP patients with a clinical and histopathological diagnosis and 232 control subjects (CS) by the PCR-RFLP method. MIF serum levels were determined by an ELISA kit. RESULTS We found significant differences in the genotypic and allelic frequencies for the MIF -173 G>C polymorphism; carriers of the GC genotype (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.026-2.228, p = 0.03) and the C allele (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.005-1.807, p = 0.04) had higher odds to present with PP. Moreover, the 6C haplotype was associated with PP risk (OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.22-3.69, p < 0.01). Also, the -173 CC genotype was associated with high MIF serum levels (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The -173 GC genotype and the 6C haplotype of the MIF polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to PP in the Mexican population.

Abstract
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a proinflammatory cytokine encoded within a functionally polymorphic genetic locus. MIF was initially recognized as a cytokine generated by activated T cells, but in recent days it has been identified as a multipotent key cytokine secreted by many other cell types involved in immune response and physiological processes. MIF is a highly conserved 12.5 kDa secretory protein that is involved in numerous biological processes. The expression and secretion profile of MIF suggests that MIF to be ubiquitously and constitutively expressed in almost all mammalian cells and is vital for numerous physiological processes. MIF is a critical upstream mediator of host innate and adaptive immunity and survival pathways resulting in the clearance of pathogens thus playing a protective role during infectious diseases. On the other hand, MIF being an immune modulator accelerates detrimental inflammation, promotes cancer metastasis and progression, thus worsening disease conditions. Several reports demonstrated that genetic and physiological factors, including MIF gene polymorphisms, posttranslational regulations, and receptor binding control the functional activities of MIF. Taking into consideration the multi-faceted role of MIF both in physiology and pathology, we thought it is timely to review and summarize the expressional and functional regulation of MIF, its functional mechanisms associated with its beneficial and pathological roles, and MIF-targeting therapies. Thus, our review will provide an overview on how MIF is regulated, its response, and the potency of the therapies that target MIF.

[PMID: 32932965 PMCID: PMC7565645 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9092936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2020] [Revised: 08/30/2020] [Accepted: 09/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is highly elevated after cardiac surgery and impacts the postoperative inflammation. The aim of this study was to analyze whether the polymorphisms CATT5–7 (rs5844572/rs3063368,“-794”) and G>C single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs755622,-173) in the MIF gene promoter are related to postoperative outcome. Methods: In 1116 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, the MIF gene polymorphisms were analyzed and serum MIF was measured by ELISA in 100 patients. Results: Patients with at least one extended repeat allele (CATT7) had a significantly higher risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to others (23% vs. 13%; OR 2.01 (1.40–2.88), p = 0.0001). Carriers of CATT7 were also at higher risk of death (1.8% vs. 0.4%; OR 5.12 (0.99–33.14), p = 0.026). The GC genotype was associated with AKI (20% vs. GG/CC:13%, OR 1.71 (1.20–2.43), p = 0.003). Multivariate analyses identified CATT7 predictive for AKI (OR 2.13 (1.46–3.09), p < 0.001) and death (OR 5.58 (1.29–24.04), p = 0.021). CATT7 was associated with higher serum MIF before surgery (79.2 vs. 50.4 ng/mL, p = 0.008). Conclusion: The CATT7 allele associates with a higher risk of AKI and death after cardiac surgery, which might be related to chronically elevated serum MIF. Polymorphisms in the MIF gene may constitute a predisposition for postoperative complications and the assessment may improve risk stratification and therapeutic guidance.

Abstract
Background Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine capable of stimulating inflammatory cytokine and matrix metalloproteinase production from macrophages and synovial fibroblasts, which leads to persistent inflammation and bone degradation, two of the major pathological processes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of MIF promoter polymorphisms (−794CATT5‐8rs5844572 and −173G > C, rs755622), circulating MIF levels, and mRNA expression with RA susceptibility and disease activity. Methods A case–control study was conducted in 200 RA patients and 200 control subjects (CS) from Southern Mexico. Genotyping was performed by conventional PCR and PCR‐RFLP methods. MIF mRNA expression was quantified by real‐time PCR and MIF serum levels were determined by an ELISA kit. Results The 7,7 (−794CATT5‐8) and −173CC (−173G > C) genotypes were associated with higher disease activity in RA patients. MIF serum levels were increased, and MIF mRNA expression was reduced in RA patients as compared to CS. In addition, RA patients with moderate disease activity had higher MIF levels than those with low disease activity. The −794CATT5‐8 and −173G > C MIF polymorphisms were not associated with RA susceptibility. Conclusion These results suggest an important role of MIF polymorphisms and MIF serum levels with disease activity in RA.

Abstract
Human macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays a role in several metabolic and inflammatory processes. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -173 G/C (rs755622) on MIF gene has been associated with numerous diseases, such as arthritis and cancer. However, most of the reports concerning the association of MIF with these and other pathologies are inconsistent and remain quite controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis from 96 case-control studies on -173 G/C MIF SNP and stratified the data according to the subjects geographic localization or the disease pathophysiology, in order to determine a more meaningful significance to this SNP. The polymorphism was strongly associated with an increased risk in autoimmune-inflammatory, infectious and age-related diseases on the dominant (OR: 0.74 [0.58-0.93], P < 0.01; OR: 0.81 [0.74-0.89], P < 0.0001; and OR: 0.81 [0.76-0.87], P < 0.0001, respectively) and the recessive models (OR: 0.74 [0.57-0.095], P < 0.01; OR: 0.66 [0.48-0.92], P < 0.0154; and OR: 0.70 [0.60-0.82], P < 0.0001, respectively). Also, significant association was found in the geographic localization setting for Asia, Europe and Latin America subdivisions in the dominant (OR: 0.76 [0.69-0.84], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.77 [0.72-0.83], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.61 [0.44-0.83], P-value: 0.0017, respectively) and overdominant models (OR: 0.85 [0.77-0.94], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.80 [0.75-0.86], P < 0.0001; OR: 0.73 [0.63-0.85], P-value: 0.0017, respectively). Afterwards, we implemented a network meta-analysis to compare the association of the polymorphism for two different subdivisions. We found a stronger association for autoimmune than for age-related or autoimmune-inflammatory diseases, and stronger association for infectious than for autoimmune-inflammatory diseases. We report for the first time a meta-analysis of rs755622 polymorphism with a variety of stratified diseases and populations. The study reveals a strong association of the polymorphism with autoimmune and infectious diseases. These results may help direct future research on MIF-173 G/C in diseases in which the relation is clearer and thus assist the search for more plausible applications.
