巨噬細胞移行抑制因子(macrophage migration inhibitory factor, 簡稱MIF)在敗血症病患,特別是在革蘭氏陰性菌敗血症感染時,因具有調控急性發炎免疫反應而受到注意。由於它對巨噬細胞及T淋巴球具有抑制類皮質糖素(glucocorticoid)及抗發炎的作用,近年來在急重症醫學領域中被認為重要的上游調控因子(upstream mediator)。我們在臨床觀察到嚴重敗血症病患、甚至嚴重創傷病患於急診就醫時,其血中MIF值有明顯升高的現象,其與臨床嚴重度呈現有意義的相關性,尤其重要的是MIF似乎可以作為嚴重敗血症或嚴重創傷病患的預後指標。在此急重症病患中,我們觀察到嚴重病患於感染24 小時後,血中MIF值如持續升高,其早期死亡率(即入院後前3天或前7天內死亡者)將明顯增加;同樣的,血中MIF值持續升高者,此病患晚期死亡率(入院後28天內死亡者)亦有增加的趨勢。我們進一步以創傷弧菌感染小鼠模式來摹擬臨床嚴重敗血症情形。我們發現早期感染小鼠血中MIF值越高者,其死亡率越高,確認感染創傷弧菌後MIF較其他早期發炎激素如腫瘤壞死因子(tumor necrosis factor, TNF-α)或介白素(interleukin, IL-6, IL-8)更早被誘發,意謂MIF可能具有調控或促進其他下游激素的角色(enhancer)。同樣以創傷弧菌感染人類全血細胞後,我們觀察到施予MIF抑制劑ISO-1後,促發炎激素如TNF-α, IL-6及IL-8的釋出呈現明顯下降的現象,且此抑制現象隨著時間及劑量的增加而更加明顯。我們進一步想瞭解此機轉究竟透過Akt, p38 MAPK,抑或NF-kB pathway來調控。在使用Akt, p38 MAPK及NF-kB抑制劑後,証實創傷弧菌感染人類周邊血液細胞後細胞激素的釋出主要經由p38 MAPK及NF-kB pathway來調控,但不受Akt的調控。ISO-1的施予後,可以降低轉錄因子NF-kB的活性、降低IL-6mRNA的表現及抑制IkB蛋白的磷酸化。此結果證實,在創傷弧菌感染模式下,人類周邊血液細胞其發炎細胞激素IL-6的釋出應經由MIF來調控,亦即IL-6的釋出可經由MIF 來調控其轉錄因子NF-kB及mRNA的表現。經由上述實驗我們可以進一步瞭解創傷弧菌感染時MIF可能的作用機轉,此機轉或許有助於將來嚴重敗血症時發展標靶治療的方向。
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been proposed to be a pivotal cytokine of the innate immune system and plays an important role during sepsis, especially in infections by the Gram-negative bacteria. The critical regulatory role of MIF was demonstrated by its ability to override the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of glucocorticoids on macrophage and T cells. Thereby it was strongly suggested that MIF may be an upstream mediator during stress or severe sepsis in critical care medicine. We observed the significant elevation of MIF levels in clinical situations such as patients with severe sepsis or patients with severe blunt traumas. Moreover, serum MIF correlated with clinical severity score and seemed to be a valuable prognostic factor in traumatic patients. Among patients with severe sepsis, a high percentage of increase between serum MIF levels on first day and second day could predict higher 3- and 7-day mortalities (early mortality), as well as 28-day mortalities (late mortality). By using the sepsis model, we found that MIF increased the inflammation of Vibrio vulnificus (V. vulnificus) infection in vivo. In V. vulnificus-infected mice, MIF was induced earlier than tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 and was time-dependently expressed. Early high MIF levels were also noted in mice which died within 48 hrs. ISO-1 ((S,R)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxazole acetic acid methyl ester), a small molecule inhibitor of MIF, significantly, and both time- and dose-dependently, decreased IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α induction in human peripheral blood cells infected with V. vulnificus. We further demonstrated that the induction of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α production by V. vulnificus infection was mediated via the NF-κB- and p38 MAPK-regulated pathways, but not the Akt pathway. ISO-1-treated human peripheral blood cells showed lower induced NF-κB activation, IL-6 mRNA expression, and IκB phosphorylation, but not of p38MAPK activation. These results suggest that MIF may regulate V. vulnificus-induced IL-6 production via NF-κB and mRNA activation. From our studies, we could have a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of MIF modulating V. vulnificus-induced sepsis. These results may provide some recommendations of target therapy in severe sepsis in the future.
