Galectin-3 and Risk of Late Graft Failure in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A 10-year Prospective Cohort Study

Camilo G. Sotomayor et al.

Summary: Elevated serum galectin-3 levels are independently associated with an increased risk of late graft failure in kidney transplant recipients, especially in those with high systolic blood pressure or a history of smoking. Patients with high galectin-3 levels are consistently at higher risk of graft failure.

Changing epidemiology of chronic kidney disease as a result of type 2 diabetes mellitus from 1990 to 2017: Estimates from Global Burden of Disease 2017

Huixian Li et al.

Summary: The study found that the burden of CKD as a result of type 2 diabetes mellitus has been increasing globally over time, mainly attributable to population expansion and Sociodemographic Index. In 82 countries and territories, economic development did not alleviate the burden of CKD caused by type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, a more pragmatic approach is recommended to reduce mortality and long-term burden in low-to-middle Sociodemographic Index regions.

The therapeutic potential of galectin-3 inhibition in fibrotic disease

R. J. Slack et al.

Summary: Galectin-3, a beta-galactoside-binding mammalian lectin, plays a crucial role in regulating cellular signaling by prolonging retention time or retarding lateral movement of cell surface receptors in the plasma membrane. It is involved in various cellular functions such as diffusion, compartmentalization, endocytosis, and the functionality of membrane receptors, and has been shown to be pro-fibrotic in multiple models of organ fibrosis. Additionally, there has been a significant increase in scientific literature investigating the role of Galectin-3 in fibrotic diseases and the clinical development of new Galectin-3 inhibitors over the past decade.

Interaction between Galectin-3 and Integrins Mediates Cell-Matrix Adhesion in Endothelial Cells and Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Antonin Sedlar et al.

Summary: Galectin-3 (Gal-3) functions as a key player in cell-matrix adhesion, acting as an extracellular ligand. Through experiments, it was observed that the adhesion process mediated by Gal-3 may be regulated by binding sites different from the CRD.

Relationship between Circulating Galectin-3, Systemic Inflammation, and Protein-Energy Wasting in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients

Ming-Tsun Tsai et al.

Summary: Plasma galectin-3 levels are associated with protein-energy wasting in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, but galectin-3 is not superior in predicting PEW compared to other nutritional indicators. Novel biomarkers are needed to detect patients at risk for malnutrition and implement appropriate interventions.

Comparison of Simplified Creatinine Index and Systemic Inflammatory Markers for Nutritional Evaluation of Hemodialysis Patients

Ming-Tsun Tsai et al.

Summary: The study compared the simplified creatinine index (SCI) and circulating inflammatory markers as nutritional screening tools in hemodialysis patients, finding that SCI performed better in assessing nutritional status. Risk factors for low fat-free mass index (FFMI) included older age, female gender, lower body mass index, SCI, and GNRI scores. While a positive association between systemic inflammation markers and low FFMI was observed, this association disappeared in multivariate analysis.
