- W2000265546 abstract "The pathogenesis of focal glomerular sclerosis (FGS) is poorly understood. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine released from T cells and macrophages, and is a key molecule in inflammation. To examine further the possible role of MIF in FGS, we measured MIF levels in the urine. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the involvement of MIF in FGS. Urine samples were obtained from 20 FGS patients. The disease controls included 40 patients with minimal-change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) and membranous nephropathy (MN). A group of healthy subjects also served as controls. Biopsies were performed in all patients prior to entry to the study. The samples were assayed for MIF protein by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The levels of MIF in the urine of FGS patients were significantly higher than those of the normal controls and patients with MCNS and MN. In contrast, the levels of urinary MIF (uMIF) in patients with MCNS and MN did not differ significantly from normal values. In the present study, attention also focused on the relationship between uMIF levels and pathological features. Among the patients with FGS, uMIF levels were significantly correlated with the grade of mesangial matrix increase and that of interstitial fibrosis. There was also a significant correlation between uMIF levels and the number of both intraglomerular and interstitial macrophages. Although the underlying mechanisms remain to be determined, our study presents evidence that urinary excretion of MIF is increased in FGS patients with active renal lesions." @default.
