Galectins in inflammatory skin diseases: current roles and future directions
Galectins (LGALS) are β-galactoside-binding lectins involved in immune regulation, epithelial integrity, and tissue remodeling. In the skin, they exhibit cell type-specific expression across keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and immune cells, shaping inflammatory signaling and barrier homeostasis. In this review, we examine LGALS expression and function in inflammatory skin diseases, with a focus on atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis (Pso). In AD, LGALS1, -3, -7, -9, and -10 are linked to Th2/Th22 responses and barrier dysfunction. In Pso, reduced LGALS1, -3, and -7 contrast with the proproliferative effects of LGAS-8 and immunomodulatory role of LGALS9. These findings highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of LGALS, supporting their relevance in precision medicine and targeted approaches for chronic skin inflammation.
期刊介绍:
Drug Discovery Today delivers informed and highly current reviews for the discovery community. The magazine addresses not only the rapid scientific developments in drug discovery associated technologies but also the management, commercial and regulatory issues that increasingly play a part in how R&D is planned, structured and executed.
Features include comment by international experts, news and analysis of important developments, reviews of key scientific and strategic issues, overviews of recent progress in specific therapeutic areas and conference reports.
