MIF (human macrophage migration inhibitory factor) is a non-glycosylated polypeptide expressed by multiple cell types, which include activated T cells, macrophages, eosinophils, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells. It is secreted by response to diverse inflammatory stimuli, and has been associated with a clear pro-inflammatory and proatherogenic role in multiple studies involving patients and animals. MIF also positively correlates with obesity as well as insulin resistance and contributes to adipose tissue inflammation by modulating ATM functions. Furthermore, MIF has been described as a protein that plays an essential role in both innate and acquired immunity.
