Optimization of the inter-domain structure of galectin-9 for recombinant production [PDF]

, 2013
香川大学Kagawa University博士（医学）Abstract We previously developed a stable form of galectin-9, an immunomodulatory animal lectin with a truncated linker peptide (G9Null), to overcome the protease sensitivity of wild-type galectin-9.

Role of Galectins in the Liver Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Background: Galectins, a family of β-galactoside-binding proteins, are related to the development and progression of various human diseases such as cancer, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. However, its role in liver diseases is unclear.Methods:

Galectin-14 Promotes Trophoblast Migration and Invasion by Upregulating the Expression of MMP-9 and N-Cadherin

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Galectin-14 is specifically expressed in placental trophoblasts, and its expression is reduced in trophoblasts retrieved from the cervix of women destined to develop early pregnancy loss.

EZH2 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression through modulating miR-22/galectin-9 axis

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2018
Background Recent studies have shown that interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-induced galectin-9 expression in Kupffer cells plays an essential role in modulatingthe microenvironment of hepatitis-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Galectin-9 influences the Tim-3 molecule expression in natural killer different subpopulations

Медицинская иммунология, 2023
Galectin-9 is a b-galactoside binding lectin with expressed immunoregulatory activity. During pregnancy galectin-9 is produced by trophoblast cells and regulates the function of natural killer (NK) cells at the maternal-fetal interface via binding to Tim-

Overexpression of miRNA-9 enhances galectin-3 levels in oral cavity cancers

, 2021
Oral cavity cancer (OCC) is the predominant subtype of head and neck cancer (HNC) and has up to 50% mortality. Genome-wide microRNA (miR) sequencing data indicates overexpression of miR-9-5p in HNC tumours, however, the biological role of miR-9-5p in OCC

NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma: The growing challenge

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Risk and protective factors for NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer‐related mortality and morbidity worldwide. With the obesity pandemic, NAFLD‐related HCC is contributing to the burden of disease exponentially.

Intracellular Galectin-9 Controls Dendritic Cell Function by Maintaining Plasma Membrane Rigidity

iScience, 2019
Summary: Endogenous extracellular Galectins constitute a novel mechanism of membrane protein organization at the cell surface. Although Galectins are also highly expressed intracellularly, their cytosolic functions are poorly understood.

Galectin-9 interacts with PD-1 and TIM-3 to regulate T cell death and is a target for cancer immunotherapy

Nature Communications, 2021
Galectin-9 regulates several cellular processes including TIM-3-mediated T cell death. Here the authors show that co-expressed PD-1 protects TIM-3+ T cells from galectin-9-induced cell death and that anti-galectin-9 in combination with GITR agonism ...

IL‐31 levels correlate with pruritus in patients with cholestatic and metabolic liver diseases and is farnesoid X receptor responsive in NASH

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
IL‐31 levels correlate with pruritus in patients with cholestatic and metabolic liver diseases Abstract Background and Aims Pruritus is associated with multiple liver diseases, particularly those with cholestasis, but the mechanism remains incompletely understood.
