Macrophage migration inhibitory factor elicits an angiogenic phenotype in human ectopic endometrial cells and triggers the production of major angiogenic factors via CD44, CD74, and MAPK signaling pathways

The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2010-0417

CONTEXT: An active angiogenesis is required for ectopic endometrial tissue growth. Our previous studies led to the identification of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), which is markedly elevated in active, vascularized, and early…

Up-regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 expression and prostaglandin E2 production in human endometriotic cells by macrophage migration inhibitory factor: involvement of novel kinase signaling pathways

Endocrinology ·doi:10.1210/en.2008-1088

Cyclooxygenase (COX) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the metabolic conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins (PGs), including prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), a major mediator of inflammation and angiogenesis. Herein, we report that macro…

Direct effect of macrophage migration inhibitory factor on sperm function: possible involvement in endometriosis-associated infertility

Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.04.002

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) on sperm capacitation, a maturational process that occurs in the female reproductive tract and enables spermatozoa to become fully competent at fertilizing th…
