Leptin May Promote Eosinophilic CRSwNP Progression by Enhancing Eosinophil Chemotaxis and Angiogenesis Under a Type 2 Inflammatory Milieu

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous Type 2 inflammatory disease characterized by enhanced eosinophilic infiltration. Both innate and adaptive immunity are involved in the onset and progression of CRSwNP.

Human Galectins Induce Conversion of Dermal Fibroblasts into Myofibroblasts and Production of Extracellular Matrix: Potential Application in Tissue Engineering and Wound Repair [PDF]

, 2011
Members of the galectin family of endogenous lectins are potent adhesion/growth-regulatory effectors. Their multi-functionality opens possibilities for their use in bioapplications. We studied whether human galectins induce the conversion of human dermal

Galectin-3 recruitment to vacuoles containing translocon forming bacteria.

, 2022
HeLa cells expressing myc-Rac1Q61L and GFP-galectin-3 were infected with WA-314 YopD-ALFA at an MOI of 20 and incubated with NbALFA-580 diluted in cell culture medium. Cells were imaged with a spinning disk microscope recording z-stacks every minute. The

Overexpression of Galectin 3 in Pancreatic β Cells Amplifies β-Cell Apoptosis and Islet Inflammation in Type-2 Diabetes in Mice

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Aims/Hypothesis: Galectin 3 appears to play a proinflammatory role in several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Also, there is evidence that galectin 3 plays a role in both type-1 and type-2 diabetes.

Time-course analysis of cardiac and serum galectin-3 in viral myocarditis after an encephalomyocarditis virus inoculation.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Galectin-3 is a β-galactoside-binding lectin which is important in cell proliferation and apoptotic regulation. Recently, serum galectin-3 has been shown to have prognostic value as a biomarker in heart failure.

Low translocon associated YopD-ALFA/YopD fluorescence signals in GFP-galectin-3 positive compartments.

, 2022
(A) NbALFA staining of translocon associated YopD-ALFA in fixed cells. HeLa cells expressing myc-Rac1Q61L and GFP-galectin-3 were infected with WA-314-YopD-ALFA at an MOI of 50 for 50 min.
