AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0032]The present invention effectively works for screening a test substance which strengthens a bond between thioredoxin and macrophage migration inhibition factor. The screened test substance further enhances the activity inhibition of macrophage migration inhibition factor resulting from the binding substance (polypeptide of thioredoxin family etc.).
[0033]The molecular interaction analysis allows to minitor the intermolecular bond state in real time.
[0034]Nitrosoglutathione andprostaglandin I2 enable to certainly strengthen the bond between the polypeptide of the thioredoxin family and macrophage migration inhibitory factor.

Problems solved by technology

However, excessive inflammatory response resulting from excessive production of MIF, which exhibits inflammatory effect, causes many kinds of (inflammation-associated) disorders.
However, no report has shown a relationship between MIF and thioredoxin and a method for screening substances related to MIF so far.

Confirmatory Experiment of Anti Trx Antibody Inhibiting the Cell Internalization of MIF

[0101]MIF is internalized (incorporated) into cells by the autocrine or paracrine action to induce the production of inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha(α) or IL-1. Thus, the effects of TRX on the cell internalization of MIF were examined to clarify the inflammation response control mechanism.

Abstract

(Problems) The main object of the present invention is to provide a screening method for selecting a substance affecting a bond between thioredoxin and MIF.
(Means for Solving Problems) The present invention provides a screening method for selecting a test substance which strengthens a bond between a polypeptide of a thioredoxin family and a macrophage migration inhibition factor, comprising: mixing a test substance with at least one binding substance selected from following (1) to (4), (1) the polypeptide belonging to the thioredoxin family, (2) a protein having an amino acid sequence of the polypeptide belonging to the thioredoxin family in which one or more amino acid is deleted, replaced or added, and having an equivalent activity to the polypeptide of the thioredoxin family, (3) a gene coding (1), (4) a gene coding (2); bonding the binding substance to the macrophage migration inhibition factor; and monitoring the bond state between the binding substance and the macrophage migration inhibition factor.
