چکیده
OBJECTIVE To investigate the possible relationship between MIF -173 polymorphism and susceptibility to, and severity of, Kawasaki disease (KD) in a cohort of Italian patients. METHODS Sixty-nine patients (43 F, 26 M, median age 29 months, range 3-135 months) with KD and 60 sex-matched healthy caucasian children were genotyped for MIF-173. Typing of the MIF gene -173 G/C was performed by PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism. RESULTS Eight out of 69 (12%) KD children were non-responders: 7 required an additional IVIG infusion, while 1 received 2 IVIG infusions and then steroid administration. 9/69 (13%) KD children developed coronary artery abnormalities (CAA) during the second to fourth week of disease, and 4 of them required an additional IVIG infusion. MIF genotyping did not show significant differences between patients and controls. KD patients carrying a MIF -173*C allele developed CAA more frequently than those without MIF- (7/9 77.8% vs. 16/60 26.7%, OR 9.6, 95% CI 1.80-21.2, p<0.005). Non-responders to a single IVIG infusion carried the MIF -173*C allele more frequently than responders (6/8 = 75% vs. 17/61 = 28%, OR 5.1, 95% CI 1.42-22.31 p<0.014). In multiple regression analysis, KD patients carrying a MIF -173*C allele were found to have an increased risk of coronary involvement (OR 7.7, 95% CI 1.36-16.1, p=0.021). CONCLUSIONS We showed that children carrying the MIF polymorphism -173*C had a higher percentage of CAA. A potential relationship between a MIF polymorphism and risk of CAA in KD might be considered.

Background: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by accumulated active macrophages in ectopic tissue of endometriosis. MIF is involved in pathophysiological events of endometriosis, such as angiogenesis and cell proliferation. MIF that stimulates the synthesis of PGE2, leads to over-expression of local estradiol synthesis in endometrio...

Results The average age at disease onset was 29 months (range, 3– 135 months). There were 43 females (33.3%) and 26 (20.2%) males. Eight children (12%) were non-responders to the first IVIG infusion. Nine children (13%) had coronary alterations (ectasia or aneurysms). Statistical analysis for MIF genotyping did not show significant differences between patients and controls, both for allelic and...

Myocardial inflammation is one of the commonest mechanisms in cardiomyopathy (CMP). Mannose binding lectin (MBL) is a key molecule in innate immunity, while macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a constitutive element of the host defenses. We investigated the possible association between polymorphisms of MBL2 and MIF genes and CMP in Turkish children. Twenty-children with CMP and 30 h...
