Enriched environment downregulates macrophage migration inhibitory factor and increases parvalbumin in the brain following experimental stroke
2011, Neurobiology of DiseaseCitation Excerpt :Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic protein, playing a key role in local and systemic inflammatory and immune responses (Baugh et al., 2002; Bernhagen et al., 1993; Morand et al., 2006) as well as in cell growth, particularly with respect to tumorigenesis (Fingerle-Rowson and Petrenko, 2007). MIF is known to be constitutively and highly expressed in the brain (Bernhagen et al., 1993; Nishibori et al., 1997), including neurons (Bacher et al., 1998; Nishibori et al., 1996), although the exact cellular pattern of MIF protein distribution remains unclear and divisive among studies. In the brain, MIF may affect neuronal and glial function under physiological and pathological conditions.
