Graves' disease is associated with a defective expression of the immune regulatory molecule galectin-9 in antigen-presenting dendritic cells [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction Patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) show defects in their immune-regulatory mechanisms. Herein we assessed the expression and function of galectin-1 and galectin-9 (Gal-1, Gal-9) in dendritic cells (DCs) from patients with ...

Galectin-9 restricts hepatitis B virus replication via p62/SQSTM1-mediated selective autophagy of viral core proteins

Nature Communications, 2022
Autophagy has been linked to a wide range of functions, including a degradative process that defends host cells against pathogens. Although the involvement of autophagy in HBV infection has become apparent, it remains unknown whether selective autophagy ...

Therapeutic potential of Galectin‐9 in human disease

Medicinal Research Reviews, 2011
In recent years, an important role has emerged for the glycan‐binding protein Galectin‐9 (Gal‐9) in health and disease. In normal physiology, Gal‐9 seems to be a pivotal modulator of T‐cell immunity by inducing apoptosis in specific T‐cell subpopulations. Because these T‐cell populations are associated with autoimmunity, inflammatory disease, and graft

A novel monoclonal antibody for detection of galectin-9 in tissue sections: application to human tissues infected by oncogenic viruses

Infectious Agents and Cancer, 2012
Background Galectin-9 is a mammalian lectin which possesses immunosuppressive properties. Excessive production of galectin-9 has been reported in two types of human virus-associated diseases chronic hepatitis C and nasopharyngeal carcinoma associated to ...

Pathogenic role of exosomes in Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-associated cancers [PDF]

, 2017
Exosomes are 40- to 100-nm membrane-bound small vesicles that carry a great variety of cellular cargoes including proteins, DNA, messenger RNAs (mRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs).

Galectin-9 in cancer therapy: from immune checkpoint ligand to promising therapeutic target

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a vital member of the galectin family, functioning as a multi-subtype galactose lectin with diverse biological roles. Recent research has revealed that Gal-9’s interaction with tumors is an independent factor that influences tumor ...

Galectin-9 Is a Novel Regulator of Epithelial Restitution [PDF]

The American Journal of Pathology, 2020
Increasingly, the ß-galactoside binding lectins, termed galectins, are being recognized as critical regulators of cell function and organismal homeostasis. Within the context of the mucosal surface, galectins are established regulators of innate and adaptive immune responses, microbial populations, and several critical epithelial functions, including ...

Immunomodulator Galectin-9 is Increased in Blood and Skin of Patients with Bullous Pemphigoid

Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 2021
Massive recruitment of eosinophils into the dermis is a hallmark of bullous pemphigoid pathogenesis. Identifying the chemoattractant(s) guiding eosinophils into the skin in bullous pemphigoid is a prerequisite to thera­peutic targeting of eosinophil ...

Modulation of porcine intestinal epitheliocytes immunetranscriptome response by Lactobacillus jensenii TL2937 [PDF]

, 2016
In order to evaluate probiotic strains applicable for the beneficial immunomodulation of the porcine gut (immunobiotics), we previously developed a porcine intestinal epitheliocyte cell line (PIE cells).
