We prematurely delivered mouse pups at embryonic day 18, during the early saccular stage of pulmonary development. Only 8% of the prematurely delivered pups genetically deficient in MIF survived 8 h vs 75% of wild-type controls (p &amp;lt; 0.001). This phenotype was corrected when pups of all genotypes were bred from dams heterozygote for MIF deficiency. Local production of MIF in the lung increased at embryonic day 18, continued until full-term at embryonic day 19.5, and decreased in adulthood, thus coinciding with this developmental window. The lungs of pups genetically deficient in MIF were less mature upon histological evaluation, and demonstrated lower levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and corticosterone \u2013 two factors that promote fetal lung maturation. In vitro studies support a role for MIF in surfactant production by pulmonary epithelial cells. In a cohort of human neonates with RDS, higher intrapulmonary MIF levels were associated with a lower likelihood of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a sequelae of RDS (p &amp;lt; 0.03). This study demonstrates for the first time a role for MIF in lung maturation, and supports a protective role for MIF in newborn lung disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.180.1.601","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,11]],"date-time":"2014-04-11T04:13:32Z","timestamp":1397189612000},"page":"601-608","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["A Role for Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in the Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"180","author":[{"given":"Katharine A","family":"Kevill","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vineet","family":"Bhandari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mika","family":"Kettunen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research, University College , Dublin ,","place":["Ireland"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Leng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuka","family":"Mizue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James D","family":"Dzuira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Reyes-Mugica","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"},{"name":"Department of Pathology, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Courtney L","family":"McDonald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John A","family":"Baugh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research, University College , Dublin ,","place":["Ireland"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine L","family":"O\u2019Connor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zubair H","family":"Aghai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Cooper University Hospital, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School , Camden, NJ 08103"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seamas C","family":"Donnelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research, University College , Dublin ,","place":["Ireland"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alia","family":"Bazzy-Asaad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard J","family":"Bucala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"},{"name":"Department of Pathology, Yale University School of Medicine , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025032610001887600_R1","first-page":"619","volume-title":"Pediatrics","year":"2005"},{"key":"2025032610001887600_R2","first-page":"464","volume-title":"Pediatric Respiratory Medicine","year":"1999"},{"key":"2025032610001887600_R3","first-page":"177","volume-title":"Acta Paediatr.","year":"2004"},{"key":"2025032610001887600_R4","first-page":"1423","volume-title":"Am.
