Galectin 3 induced secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6), granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor , CXCL8, and MMP-3 in both synovial and skin fibroblasts
van Stijn et al., Mol Immunol 2009
(Schistosomiasis mansoni) :
The combined data indicate that GM-CSF reduces IL-4 induced Gal-3 mRNA levels during the generation of iDC ... Remarkably, stimulation of monocytes with GM-CSF results in secretion of significant amounts of Gal-3 in the medium, whereas iDCs do not release detectable amounts of Gal-3, indicating a suppressive role of IL-4 on GM-CSF induced Gal-3 secretion
