1 Deficiency of galectin-3, either hereditary or induced through application of chemical inhibitors, beta-lactose or TD139, supported survival and function of islet beta cells compromised by TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + IL-1beta stimulus. Lactose lectin, galactose binding, soluble 3 Mus musculus
2 Similarly, inhibition of galectin-3 by beta-lactose or TD139 reduced cytokine-triggered apoptosis of beta cells, leading to conclusion that endogenous galectin-3 propagates beta apoptosis in the presence of an inflammatory milieu. Lactose lectin, galactose binding, soluble 3 Mus musculus
