Abstract

Galectin-3, a β-galactoside-binding lectin, exhibits pleiotropic biological functions and has a role as one of the immunological modulators. However, the associations between circulating galectin‑3 and immunological, inflammatory and nutritional parameters have not yet been fully elucidated. The serum concentration of galectin‑3 was examined in association with interleukin‑10 (IL‑10), IL‑12 and IL17 production, lymphocyte stimulation, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), white blood cell count (WBC), C‑reactive protein (CRP) and rapid turnover proteins, including retinol‑binding protein (RBP), prealbumin (PA) and transferrin (TF) in 50 patients with untreated colorectal cancers. Significant increases (P<0.05) were observed in the serum galectin‑3 levels in patients with untreated colorectal cancer (9.6±4.5 ng/ml) compared with the normal controls (3.2±1.6 ng/ml). Higher serum galectin‑3 concentrations were observed in patients with colon cancer (11.5±4.4 ng/ml) compared to in patients with rectal cancer (8.0±4.0 ng/ml) (P=0.005). The levels of circulating galectin‑3 inversely correlated with the production of IL‑10 (r=‑0.59, P<0.001), and IL‑12 (r=‑0.69, P<0.001). Galectin‑3 concentration also inversely correlated with the lymphocyte stimulation assay stimulation index (r=‑0.42, P=0.021). However, the level of serum galectin‑3 correlated with IL‑17 production (r=0.67, P<0.001). Serum galectin‑3 levels exhibited significant correlations with NLR (r=0.41, P=0.009), WBC (r=0.32, P=0.035), and CRP (r=0.63, P<0.001), and statistically significant inverse correlations with RBP (r=‑0.45, P=0.002), PA (r=‑0.46, P=0.001) and TF (r=‑0.72, P<0.001). Galectin‑3 may be one of the key factors in the regulation of immunological, inflammatory and nutritional conditions.
