Overview

Analysis reveals Galectin-3 promotes endothelial activation and inflammation in acute kidney injury via CD146 interactions.

Key Points

  • Galectin-3 significantly increased systemic inflammation after acute kidney injury, enhancing renal damage and immune cell infiltration.
  • Immunofluorescence and plasma proteomics determined Galectin-3 plays a key role in endothelial activation during renal ischemic injury.
  • Bone marrow transplantation in mice indicated that Galectin-3 expression in renal tissue worsens kidney dysfunction and inflammation post-reperfusion.
  • Intervention with recombinant Galectin-3 elevated CD146 levels but did not cause additional renal injury, suggesting targeted pathways for treatment.
