{{PBB_Summary
| section_title =  
| summary_text = The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The protein encoded by this gene is an S-type lectin. This galectin is strongly overexpressed in Hodgkin's disease tissue and it might participate in the interaction between the H&amp;RS cells with their surrounding cells and might thus play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease and/or its consistently associated immunodeficiency. The protein has N- and C- terminal carbohydrate-binding domains connected by a link peptide. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.<ref name="entrez" />

Galectin-9 is one of the most studied ligand for [[HAVCR2]] (TIM-3) and is expressed on various tumor cells.

Galectin-9 was first time isolated from mouse embryonic kidney in 1997 as a 36 kDa beta-galactoside lectin protein.[1] Human galectin-9 is encoded by the LGALS9 gene.[2][3]

Function

The protein has N- and C- terminal carbohydrate-binding domains connected by a link peptide. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[3]

Galectin-9 is one of the most studied ligand for HAVCR2 (TIM-3) and is expressed on various tumor cells. However, it can also interact with other proteins (CLEC7A,[4] CD137,[5] CD40[6]). For example, an interaction with CD40 on T-cells induced their proliferation inhibition and cell death.

Clinical significance

The expression of galectin-9 has been detected on various hematological malignancies, such as CLL,[7] MDS,[8] Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphomas,[9] AML[10] or solid tumors, such as lung cancer,[11] breast cancer,[12] and hepatocellular carcinoma.[13]

HAVCR2/ galectin-9 interaction attenuated T-cell expansion and effectors function in tumor microenviroment and chronic infections.[14][10] Moreover, galectin-9 contributed to tumorigenesis by tumor cell transformation, cell-cycle regulation, angiogenesis, and cell adhesion.[15] The correlative studies analyzing the expression of galectin-9 and malignant clinical features showed controversial results. This can be explained as that galectin-9 can promote tumor immune escape as well as inhibit metastasis by promoting endothelial adhesion.[13] Therefore many factors such as tumor type, stage, and the involvement of different galectins should be take into consideration when correlating the expression level and the malignancy.
