Microglia-Secreted Galectin-3 Acts as a Toll-like Receptor 4 Ligand and Contributes to Microglial Activation. [PDF]
Inflammatory response induced by microglia plays a critical role in the demise of neuronal populations in neuroinflammatory diseases. Although the role of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in microglia's inflammatory response is fully acknowledged, little is ...

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

Cancer Therapy Due to Apoptosis: Galectin-9 [PDF]
Dysregulation of apoptosis is a major hallmark in cancer biology that might equip tumors with a higher malignant potential and chemoresistance. The anti-cancer activities of lectin, defined as a carbohydrate-binding protein that is not an enzyme or antibody, have been investigated for over a century.

Restriction of Human Cytomegalovirus Infection by Galectin-9 [PDF]
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) continues to cause serious and often life-threatening disease in those with impaired or underdeveloped immune systems. This virus is able to infect and replicate in a wide range of human cell types, which enables the virus to spread to other individuals in a number of settings.

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

Galectin-9 promotes natural killer cells activity via interaction with CD44
Natural killer (NK) cells are a potent innate source of cytokines and cytoplasmic granules. Their effector functions are tightly synchronized by the balance between the stimulatory and inhibitory receptors.

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