摘要:

半乳糖凝集素-3(Gal-3)属半乳糖苷凝集素家族,表达于神经系统,可结合多种分子,通过调节下游信号发挥作用。在阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者的病变脑区、血清和脑脊液中,Gal-3的表达变化与AD病变进程相关。因此,Gal-3有望成为AD诊断与检测药物疗效的重要生物标志物。该文就Gal-3参与AD的分子机制研究进展进行综述,以期为AD的诊断、治疗及药物研发提供新观点。

Abstract:

Galectin-3 (Gal-3), widely expressed in central nervous system, is a member of the galectin family. Gal-3 can bind a variety of molecules and play a role by regulating downstream signals. Recent advances have suggested that changes in Gal-3 expression in brain tissues, serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are closely related to the severity of AD. Therefore, GAL-3 is expected to be an important biomarker for the diagnosis and detection of drug efficacy in AD. In this review, we present an updated overview of the current understanding of Gal-3 involvement in AD, which may provide useful references for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of AD in the future.

Key words: Alzheimer disease, Galectin 3, inflammation, amyloid beta-peptides, microglia
