Expression and function of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in the pathogenesis of UV-induced cutaneous nonmelanoma skin cancer.
- Published 2012 in Photochemistry and photobiology
Abstract
Chronic skin exposure to ultraviolet light stimulates the production of cytokines known to be involved in the initiation of skin cancer. Recent studies in mouse models suggested a role for macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in the UVB-induced pathogenesis of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Our studies aimed at defining the pathophysiological… (More)
