Serum galectins as potential biomarkers of inflammatory bowel diseases

PLoS ONE, 2020
The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which include mainly Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are common chronic inflammatory conditions of the digestive system. The diagnosis of IBD relies on the use of a combination of factors including

Galectin-2, Galectins-5 and -9, and Galectins-4 and -6.

Trends in Glycoscience and Glycotechnology, 1997
現在、哺乳類には10種類のガレクチンがあることが示されている。この章ではそのうち5つについて、各ガレクチンの発見の経緯と特徴について述べようと思う。ガレクチン-2はガレクチン-1と同様、14kDaのサブユニットが2量体構造をした分子で、腸上皮細胞に発現している。ガレクチン-5は15kDaの単量体ガレクチンで、赤血球に発現している。最近発見されたガレクチン-9は多くの組織で発現している36kDaのタンパク質で、2つの糖認識ドメイン (CRD) からなり、このうちC-末端側のCRDがガレクチン-5と非常に高い類似性を示す。ガレクチン-4と-6は互いにきわめて似た分子で、それぞれ36kDaと34kDaの分子量を持ち、やはりともに2つのCRDからなり、両者とも消化管の上皮細胞で発現している。

Synthetic Nanobiology Actuated Lipometabolic Cell Factory for Autologous Tumor Immunotherapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
FA plays a crucial role in the interaction between tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment, especially for the immune response. A biocatalytic immunoenhancement strategy is developed to boost antitumor immunity by FA metabolic orientation to ceramide. Through the design of this delicate catalytic immunoenhancement strategy, the synthetic nanobiology

Unconventional secretion of annexins and galectins

Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018
Eukaryotic cells have a highly evolved system of protein secretion, and dysfunction in this pathway is associated with many diseases including cancer, infection, metabolic disease and neurological disorders.

Simvastatin Restores Uteroplacental Hemodynamics and Trophoblast Function in Obstetric Antiphospholipid Syndrome in a Placenta‐on‐a‐Chip Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Simvastatin mitigates placental hypoperfusion in OAPS by ameliorating abnormal uteromaternal hemodynamics and enhancing trophoblast invasion via optimized endothelial cell interactions under pathological shear stress, as evidenced by results from a placenta‐on‐a‐chip platform.

Engineered Mesenchymal Stem Cell–NK Cell Complexes for Spatially Targeted and Functionally Revitalized Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IL‐15‐engineered stem cell–NK cell complexes, assembled via bioorthogonal chemistry, enable effective lung cancer immunotherapy. Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells represent a powerful immunotherapeutic strategy due to their intrinsic cytotoxicity and ability to target tumor cells independently of antigen presentation.

GALNT10 Affects O‐Glycosylation of IGFBP7 to Promote Tumor Vascular Remodeling and Metastasis of Ovarian Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The glycosyltransferase GALNT10 facilitates ovarian cancer metastasis through the induction of tumor cell EMT and tumor vascular dysfunction. GALNT10 enhanced the extracellular secretion of IGFBP7 through O‐GalNAc glycosylation modification at the T188 site, which subsequently interacts with CD93 on endothelial cells, leading to vascular remodeling ...

Galectins as Molecular Targets for Therapeutic Intervention

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Galectins are a family of small, highly conserved, molecular effectors that mediate various biological processes, including chemotaxis and angiogenesis, and that function by interacting with various cell surface glycoconjugates, usually targeting β ...
