Abstract

Metabolic dysfunction-associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) is a chronic liver disease characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver and hepatic steatosis, which can progress to critical conditions, including Metabolic dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), liver fibrosis, hepatic cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Galectin-3, a member of the galectin family of proteins, has been involved in cascades that are responsible for the pathogenesis and progression of liver fibrosis in MAFLD. This review summarizes the present understanding of the role of galectin-3 in the severity of MAFLD and its associated liver fibrosis. The article assesses the underlying role of galectin-3-mediated fibrogenesis, including the triggering of hepatic stellate cells, the regulation of extracellular degradation, and the modulation of immune reactions and responses. It also highlights the assessments of the potential diagnostic and therapeutic implications of galectin-3 in liver fibrosis during MAFLD. Overall, this review provides insights into the multifaceted interaction between galectin-3 and liver fibrosis in MAFLD, which could lead to the development of novel strategies for diagnosis and treatment of this prevalent liver disease.

Galectin-3 与代谢功能障碍相关性脂肪肝的肝纤维化严重程度
代谢功能障碍相关性脂肪肝(MAFLD)是一种慢性肝病,其特征是肝脏中脂肪堆积和肝脏脂肪变性,可发展为代谢功能障碍相关性脂肪性肝炎(MASH)、肝纤维化、肝硬化和肝细胞癌等危重病症。Galectin-3是galectin家族蛋白的一员,它参与了MAFLD肝纤维化的发病机制和进展的级联。本综述总结了目前对 galectin-3 在 MAFLD 及其相关肝纤维化的严重程度中所起作用的认识。文章评估了galectin-3介导的纤维形成的潜在作用,包括触发肝星状细胞、调节细胞外降解以及调节免疫反应和响应。综述还重点评估了在 MAFLD 期间,galectin-3 对肝纤维化的潜在诊断和治疗意义。总之,这篇综述深入揭示了在 MAFLD 中,galectin-3 与肝纤维化之间的多方面相互作用,这将有助于开发诊断和治疗这种流行性肝病的新策略。

期刊介绍: Protein & Peptide Letters publishes letters, original research papers, mini-reviews and guest edited issues in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, advances in recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, and drug design. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallization and preliminary structure determination of biologically important proteins are considered only if they include significant new approaches or deal with proteins of immediate importance, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins. Purely theoretical/review papers should provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function. Manuscripts describing computational work should include some experimental data to provide confirmation of the results of calculations. Protein & Peptide Letters focuses on: Structure Studies Advances in Recombinant Expression Drug Design Chemical Synthesis Function Pharmacology Enzymology Conformational Analysis Immunology Biotechnology Protein Engineering Protein Folding Sequencing Molecular Recognition Purification and Analysis
