Endogenous galectin-1 and acute inflammation: emerging notion of a galectin-9 pro-resolving effect.

Abstract excerpt

The role of endogenous galectin-1 (Gal-1) in acute inflammation has been poorly investigated. We therefore performed the carrageenan-induced paw edema model in wild-type and Gal-1(-/-) mice. On subplantar injection of carrageenan, Gal-1(-/-) mice displayed a similar first phase of edema (≤24 hours) to wild-type mice; however, a much less pronounced second phase (48 to 96 hours) was evident in this genotype. This...
