Abstract excerpt
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is expressed and secreted in response to mitogens and integrin-dependent cell adhesion. Once released, autocrine MIF promotes the activation of RhoA GTPase leading to cell cycle progression in rodent fibroblasts. We now report that small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of MIF and MIF small molecule antagonism results in a greater than 90% loss of both the migratory...
