GPNMB and galectin-3 levels are elevated in FTD-GRN brains. a, b GPNMB and galectin-3 levels (ng/mg protein) were measured in frontal lobe tissue lysates generated from cognitively normal controls (CTL; n = 27) and FTD-GRN patients (n = 25). Data analyzed using unpaired t-test. c Representative immunoblots for GPNMB and galectin-3 in frontal lobe lysates from cognitively normal controls (n = 8) and FTD-GRN (n = 8) patients. d GPNMB levels (ng/mL) in CSF samples form cognitively normal controls (n = 14), FTD-GRN (n = 9), FTD-C9orf72 (n = 12) and FTD-MAPT (n = 12) samples quantified by ELISA. Data analyzed using one-way ANOVA. e, f GPNMB immunostaining was performed on frontal lobe tissue sections from cognitively normal controls (n = 5) (e) and FTD-GRN (n = 5) (f) patients. g, h Immunostaining for p-TDP 43 was stained on adjacent sections from identical samples in e, f as marker of FTLD pathology. i GPNMB staining intensity in human brain sections (e, f) were measured and presented as fold change. Representative immunofluorescence staining for cell markers (green) (j, n, r), GPNMB (red) (k, o, s), DAPI (blue) (i, p, t) in paraffin sections of brains from FTD-GRN cases. Iba-1, GFAP, NeuN used for markers of human microglia, astrocytes, and neurons respectively. GPNMB and Iba-1 signals overlap (arrow) (m) whereas, no overlapping signal was observed in co-staining with GFAP or NeuN (q, u). Scale bars were labeled in the images. Data analyzed by unpaired t-test. Scale bars (20 µm) labeled in images and quantitative data are shown as mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001 Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following open publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33028409), licensed under a CC-BY license.

Background: Galectin-3

The galectins constitute a large family of carbohydrate-binding proteins with specificity for N-acetyl-lactosamine-containing glycoproteins. At least 14 mammalian galectins, which share structural similarities in their carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD), have been identified. The galectins have been classified into the prototype galectins (-1, -2, -5, -7, -10, -11, -13, -14), which contain one CRD and exist either as a monomer or a noncovalent homodimer; the chimera galectins (Galectin-3) containing one CRD linked to a nonlectin domain; and the tandem-repeat galectins (-4, -6, -8, -9, -12) consisting of two CRDs joined by a linker peptide. Galectins lack a classical signal peptide and can be localized to the cytosolic compartments where they have intracellular functions. However, via one or more as yet unidentified non-classical secretory pathways, galectins can also be secreted to function extracellularly. Individual members of the galectin family have different tissue distribution profiles and exhibit subtle differences in their carbohydrate-binding specificities. Each family member may preferentially bind to a unique subset of cell-surface glycoproteins (1-4). Galectin-3, also known as Mac-2, L29, CBP35, and epsilon BP, is a chimera galectin that has a tendency to dimerize. Besides the soluble protein, alternatively spliced forms of chicken Galectin-3 containing a transmembrane-spanning domain and a leucine zipper motif have been reported. Galectin-3 is expressed in tumor cells, macrophages, activated T cells, osteoclasts, epithelial cells, and fibroblasts. It binds various matrix glycoproteins including laminin, fibronectin, LAMPS, 90K/Mac-2BP, MP20, and CEA. Galectin-3 promotes cell growth and proliferation for many cell types. Galectin-3 acts intracellularly to prevent apoptosis. Depending on the cell types, Galectin-3 exhibits pro- or anti-adhesive properties. Galectin-3 has proinflammatory activities in vitro and in vivo. It induces pro-inflammatory and inhibits Th2 type cytokine production. Galectin-3 chemoattracts monocytes and macrophages. It activates and degranulates basophils and mast cells. Elevated circulating levels of Galectin-3 has been show to correlate with the malignant potential of several types of cancer, suggesting that Galectin-3 is also involved in tumor growth and metastasis. Human and mouse Galectin-3 shares approximately 80% amino acid sequence similarity (1-5).
