Cytokines are protein mediators regulating intercellular communication. They orchestrate the immune response and play pivotal roles in numerous diseases such as inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular conditions and cancer. Understanding their expression and secretion mechanisms therefore is important and conditional to the identification of therapeutic strategies blocking the release of pathogenic cytokines. Most cytokines carry an Nterminal signal peptide and are secreted via the conventional endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi route. However, a number of important inflammatory mediators including the interleukin (IL)-1 family of cytokines do not express a signal peptide and are released by alternative pathways, collectively termed unconventional protein secretion (UPS). Macrophage migration-inhibitory factor (MIF) is one of the oldest cytokines discovered. It is a key upstream regulator of innate immunity and an important host defense protein, whereas dysregulated MIF is a pivotal mediator of acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). MIF is an “atypical” cytokine; this notion refers not only to its high evolutionary conservation across kingdoms, but also to molecular characteristics such as an N-terminal tautomerase pocket, its chemokine-like behavior and engagement of CXC chemokine receptors, lack of a signal peptide and abundant cytosolic expression as well as presumed additional intracellular functions. In fact, MIF was suggested to be released by unconventional protein secretion routes previously, but ultimate evidence has been missing and the precise mechanisms have remained incompletely understood. This study by Dankers et al. adds an important new facet to its secretion mechanism, linking MIF release to the processes of necroptosis and nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-repeat-containing (NLR) family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis. The data contribute to establish MIF as a member of the “unconventional protein secretion UPS club of proteins.” MIF was discovered as a T-cell and macrophage cytokine, but it is now clear that it is broadly expressed in most cell types. Abundant cytosolic storage pools of MIF and baseline (nonpathologic) circulating MIF levels in the 1–10 ng mL 1 range are considered to be part of its atypical cytokine profile. Under inflammatory conditions, circulating MIF levels are rapidly and drastically increased, reaching levels up to 500–1500 ng mL . The actual local tissue levels of released MIF protein under disease conditions are poorly defined, but in vitro cell culture-based studies suggest a similar rate of elevation by up to several 10to 100-fold. While MIF secretion studies have mainly been performed in immune cells, it has become clear that secretion can also occur in response to a variety of stimuli from endothelial cells and platelets, parenchymal cells such as cardiomyocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts as well as tumor cells. That the mechanism(s) underlying the upregulation of MIF release is unconventional and endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi independent was initially insinuated by the lack of a signal peptide in the MIF sequence and was experimentally demonstrated by studies using inhibitors of the classical ER/Golgi pathway. Protein interaction studies and the application of pharmacological inhibitors implicated the ABC transporter ABCA1, the signalosome subunit JAB1/CSN5 and the cytosolic, Golgiassociated protein p115 in the unconventional protein secretion route of MIF. JAB1/CSN5 has been suggested to have a sequestration function and p115 facilitates MIF Correspondence J€ urgen Bernhagen, Chair of Vascular Biology, Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research (ISD), LMU University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU), 81377 Munich, Germany.
