暂无{Abstract}: Macrophage migration inhibitor factor (MIF), as a pro-inflammatory and oncogenic cytokine, is highly expressed in a variety of malignant tumors and recruits tumor cells or immune cells into the tumor microenvironment. MIF affects the development of tumor by altering the tumor microenvironment. In the process of tumor, MIF not only plays an anti-inflammatory role, but also promotes tumorigenesis by immune escape and immune tolerance.This is closely related to immune cells that play a role in the tumor immune response, mainly including natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells, T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells. The article summarizes the role of MIF in tumor immune and the relationship between MIF and the development of malignant tumors, in order to provide new ideas and possible therapy for tumor treatment.
