Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated that neutralization of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) by anti-MIF antibody decreases joint destruction in the collagen-induced arthritis model. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether selective deletion of MIF inhibits inflammation and joint destruction of the anti-type II collagen antibody (anti-CII Ab)/ lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced arthritis in mice, in order to determine the role of this cytokine in inflammatory arthritis.Design: Anti-CII Ab/LPS-induced arthritis was induced in MIF-deficient and wild-type mice. The effects of anti-MIF polyclonal antibody administration on anti-CII Ab-induced arthritis were also evaluated.Results: The expression of MIF protein and mRNA was induced in anti-CII Ab/LPS-induced arthritis joint tissues. Histopathological arthritis scores for synovial inflammation induced by anti-CII Ab/LPS-induced arthritis were significantly decreased in anti-MIF Ab-treated mice and in MIF-deficient mice compared to wild-type mice. In addition, mRNA levels of MMP-13 and MIP-2 in anti-CII Ab/LPS-induced arthritis joint tissues were significantly reduced in MIF-deficient mice compared to wild-type control mice.Conclusions: These results indicate that MIF plays a critical role in inflammation and joint destruction in the anti-CII Ab/LPSinduced arthritis model in mice, in part via induction of MMP-13 and neutrophil infiltration through the induction of MIP-2.
