The regulation of inflammation by galectin‐3
Abstract
Summary: Galectin‐3 is a β‐galactoside‐binding animal lectin of appro‐ ximately 30 kDa and is evolutionarily highly conserved. Galectin‐3 is promiscuous, its localization within the tissue micro‐environment may be extracellular, cytoplasmic, or nuclear, and it has a concentration‐dependent ability to be monomeric or form oligomers. These properties impart great flexibility on galectin‐3 as a specific regulator of many biological systems including inflammation. For example, in acute tissue damage galectin‐3 is a key component in the host defense against microbes such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. However, if tissue injury becomes repetitive galectin‐3 also appears to be intimately involved in the transition to chronic inflammation, facilitating the walling off of tissue injury with fibrogenesis and organ scarring. Therefore galectin‐3 can be viewed as a regulatory molecule acting at various stages along the continuum from acute inflammation to chronic inflammation and tissue fibrogenesis. In this review, we examine the role of galectin‐3 in inflammation, and discuss the manipulation of galectin‐3 expression as a potentially novel therapeutic strategy in the treatment of a broad range of inflammatory diseases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
