ABSTRACT
Galectin-3 is an endogenous β-galactoside-binding lectin widely distributed in the human body, and it plays an important role in various functions such as cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, cell adhesion, immune response and signal transduction. Accumulating evidence has shown that galectin-3 is involved in the occurrence and development of respiratory diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension and bronchial asthma. This review summarizes and analyzes the research progress on galectin-3 in the above respiratory diseases in order to clarify its role and mechanism, and to provide new ideas for clinical treatment.
