AbstractBACKGROUND and AIMS: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been shown to play a pivotal role in inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases. This study investigates the role of MIF in gastric inflammation. METHODS: Expression of MIF was examined in a rat gastric ulcer model induced by acetic acid, and the functional role of MIF in acute gastric ulcer was investigated by administration of a neutralizing anti-MIF antibody. RESULTS: MIF messenger RNA and protein were markedly up-regulated in acute gastric ulcer, which correlated with the accumulation of macrophages (P < 0.001) and neutrophils (P < 0.05) at the site of inflammation. Macrophages, like neutrophils, were the major inflammatory cells infiltrating the ulcer base and they strongly expressed inducible nitric oxide synthase. However, macrophages, not neutrophils, were a rich source of MIF production in acute gastric ulcer. In vivo and in vitro blockade of MIF with the neutralizing anti-MIF antibody significantly inhibited the marked up-regulation of MIF, tumor necrosis factor alpha, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1. This was associated with the marked inhibition of macrophage (70% reduced) and neutrophil (60% reduced) accumulation and activation, thus reducing ulcer sizes and attenuating ulceration. CONCLUSIONS: This study has shown that MIF was markedly up-regulated during acute gastric ulcer. Inhibition of acute gastric ulcer by blockade of MIF indicates that MIF is a key inflammatory mediator and plays a pathogenic role in gastric inflammation.
