Abstract
⺠Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine. ⺠MIF expression was increased in the pulmonary arteries exposed to hypoxia. ⺠MIF enhanced vasoconstriction of pulmonary artery elicited by agonist. ⺠PKC, p38 and ERK1/2 signal pathways may be involved in MIF effects.
