MIF and cancer: HyeSook’s group indicated that 4Gy of IR dissociated the MIF-rpS3 complex (migration inhibitory factor, MIF and ribosomal protein S3, rpS3) by inducing casein kinase 2α (CK2α)-mediated rpS3 phosphorylation and that separation of MIF-rpS3 affected the NF-κB pathway, concomitantly stimulated cancer-associated inflammation and promoted metastasis of NSCLC cells [24].
