First discovered in electric organ of electric eel by Teichberg et al in 1975 as an agarose-binding protein capable of agglutinating trypsin-treated rabbit erythrocytes
Electrolectin required reducing conditions during storage for retention of activity
Protein with similar properties subsequently isolated from bovine and chicken organs (termed L14) now called galectin-1
A larger protein (termed CBP35 and L-29) now called galectin-3 isolated from murine fibroblasts
Other related proteins identified in many organisms, including C. elegans, zebrafish (Danio rerio), Drosophila, and sponges
All members share sequence termed S-type (thiol) carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD) recognized by Drickamer in 1988
Group subsequently renamed galectins, since all members appear to recognize terminal, non-reducing galactose residues and have the ability to agglutinate cells
Prototypical Galectins: The Galactose-binding Lectins (Galectin-1 and -3)

Require reducing conditions for activity
Occur only as soluble proteins
Bind terminal Gal residues
Not post-translationallymodification, other than N-terminal acetylation
Can retain activity without reducing conditions in presence of ligands
Spliced forms may generate membrane-anchored proteins
Bind GalNAc, GlcNAc, and Gal at internal and terminal positions, and sialylated Gal(NAc)
Some galectins are phosphorylated, glutathionylated, or cross-linked by transglutaminase

Cell signalingGrowth arrest (galectins can arrest growth of embryonic
fibroblasts)Mitogenesis (galectins can stimulate growth of some cells, e.g.
lymphocytes)Apoptosis
Galectins can induce death of some cells (in some cases this appears to be by apoptotic
processes) Galectins can also suppress apoptosis in some cells Galectins can also induce exposure of
phosphatidylserine (PS)on cell surfaces - often used as a marker of apoptosis)Phagocytosis and Clearance (galectin induction of PS
can lead to recognition and phagocytosis of cells by professional phagocytes

Potential Involvement of Galectins in Immune Regulation and Cancer
Galectin-1 may be a negative regulator of immune responseinduces death of T- cellsinhibits cell growthInhibits cell-matrix interactions
In experimental animal models of inflammation galectin-1 reduces tissue injury
Galectin-1, -7, -8, -9, and -12 all are reported have apoptosis-inducing activity to certain types of cells
By contrast, Galectin-3 has proinflammatory properties.inhibits T cell deathmay interact with bcl-2 to promote anti-apoptotic activity (Gal-3 contains the antideath Asp-Trp-Gly- Arg (NWGR) motif that is conserved in the Bcl-2 homology domain (BH1) of the Bcl-2 family)
promotes T cell-matrix interactionsis chemoattractantpromotes leukocyte activation

Potential Involvement of Galectins in Immune Regulation and Cancer
Galectin-3 null mice have reduced leukocyte infiltration in experimental models of inflammation (peritoneal inflammation)
Macrophages from Galectin-3 null mice have reduced phagocytic activity, associated with reduced intracellular Galectin-3 levels

(LEFT FIGURE) Reduced phagocytosis of apoptotic thymocytes by gal3–/– macrophages. (a) In vitro phagocytosis of apoptotic thymocytes by macrophages was performed and the phagocytic index was calculated following 20-minute incubation of these cells. Data shown represent the mean ± SD from six experiments (P < 0.001). (b) Scatter plots of the percentage of macrophages containing phagocytosed apoptotic thymocytes and/or apoptotic bodies 30 minutes after injection of the cells into the peritoneum of wild-type and gal3–/– mice with sterile peritonitis, shown as mean (heavy horizontal lines) ± SD. Each data point represents the result from one mouse; seven mice of each genotype were used (P < 0.01). (RICHT FIGURE) Distribution of galectin-3 (upper panels; green) and F-actin (middle panels; red) inside wild-type macrophages. An overlay of these images demonstrates colocalization of F-actin and galectin-3 (lower panels; yellow). Panels on the left show wild-type macrophages before stimulation and those on the right show 1 minute after stimulation with opsonized srbc’s.(From Sano et al (2003) J Clin Invest. 2003 Aug;112(3):389-97)

Potential Involvement of Galectins in Immune Regulation and Cancer
Galectin-3 null mice have abnormalities in chondrocyte proliferation and extracellular matrix in the the hypertrophic zone of long bones, associated with decreased chondrocyte survival/turnover
Galectin-3 overexpression correlated with enhanced metastatic potential - implicated in many aspects of tumor biology
While Galectin-4 is normally expressed primarily in the alimentary tract, it shows strong expression of galectin-4 in cancers from other tissues including breast and liver
Galectin-9 (also called ecalectin) was identified as a T cell-derived potent eosinophil chemoattractant
