Abstract

Galectin-9, a member of galectin family, plays multiple roles in a variety of cellular functions, including cell adhesion, aggregation, and apoptosis. Galectin-9 also has three isoforms (named galectin-9L, galectin-9M, and galectin-9S), but whether these isoforms differ in their functions remains poorly understood. In this study, we showed that transient expression of galectin-9L decreased E-selectin levels, while transient expression of galectin-9M or galectin-9S increased E-selectin levels in LoVo cells, which do not express endogenous galectin-9. We also found that over-expression of three galectin-9 isoforms led to increased attachment of LoVo cells to extracellular matrix proteins respectively, while over-expression of galectin-9M or galectin-9S increased the adhesion of LoVo cells to human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro. In summary, these findings indicate that different isoforms of galectin-9 exhibit distinct biological functions.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
