Role of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in the Proliferation of Smooth Muscle Cell in Pulmonary Hypertension

<table>Effects of MIF on proliferation of rat PASMCs. Cell proliferation was demonstrated by MTT (a) and direct cell counting (b). MIF (100, 200 ng/mL) could directly promote PASMCs proliferation. <svg height="11.125" id="M22" style="vertical-align:-0.1638pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 36.237499 11.125" width="36.237499" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
