Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and its homolog D-dopachrome tautomerase (D-DT) are significant promotors of UVB- but not chemically induced non-melanoma skin cancer

Abstract Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common cancer in Caucasians worldwide. We investigated the pathophysiological role of MIF and its homolog D-DT in UVB- and chemically induced NMSC using Mif −/− , D-dt −/− and Mif −/− /D-dt −/− mice on a hairless SKH1 background.
