Okamoto N, Noma T, Ishihara Y, Miyauchi Y, Takabatake W, Oomizu S, et al.
Int Heart J
. 2014 May;
55(3):271-7.
PMID: 24814327
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in the negative regulation of immune responses. Recent studies suggest that Tregs are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and myocarditis. Here,...

Exp Lung Res
. 2013 Nov;
39(10):453-62.
PMID: 24246013
Background: Viral respiratory infection is the most common cause of acute asthma exacerbation in patients with stable asthma. The replication of most respiratory viruses requires the generation of double-stranded RNA...

J Biochem
. 2013 Feb;
153(5):463-71.
PMID: 23389308
Galectin-9 is a lectin, which has various biological functions such as T-cell differentiation and apoptosis. Multivalency of carbohydrate binding is required for galectin-9 to function. Although galectin-1 (a proto-type galectin)...

Oomizu S, Arikawa T, Niki T, Kadowaki T, Ueno M, Nishi N, et al.
PLoS One
. 2012 Nov;
7(11):e48574.
PMID: 23144904
Galectin-9 (Gal-9), a β-galactoside binding mammalian lectin, regulates immune responses by reducing pro-inflammatory IL-17-producing Th cells (Th17) and increasing anti-inflammatory Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg) in vitro and in vivo....

Katoh S, Oomizu S, Niki T, Shimizu H, Obase Y, Korenaga M, et al.
Int Arch Allergy Immunol
. 2012 May;
158 Suppl 1:58-65.
PMID: 22627368
Background: Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a member of the galectin family of lectins that exhibit binding affinity for β-galactosides. We found a T cell line-derived Gal-9 with novel eosinophil chemoattractant activity,...

Oomizu S, Arikawa T, Niki T, Kadowaki T, Ueno M, Nishi N, et al.
Clin Immunol
. 2012 Feb;
143(1):51-8.
PMID: 22341088
Galectin-9 (Gal-9) ameliorates autoimmune reactions by suppressing Th17 cells while augmenting Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs). However, the exact mechanism of Gal-9-mediated immune modulation has been elusive. In a MOG-induced...

Clin Immunol
. 2011 Dec;
142(3):296-307.
PMID: 22177847
Galectin-9 (Gal-9) expanded plasmacytoid dendritic cell-like macrophages (pDC-Mϕs) in lung cancer-bearing mice and prolonged the survival. Gal-9 increased the frequency of CD11c(high) cells in M-CSF- but not GM-CSF-induced Mϕs in...

Kojima K, Arikawa T, Saita N, Goto E, Tsumura S, Tanaka R, et al.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med
. 2011 May;
184(3):328-39.
PMID: 21562126
Rationale: Galectin (Gal)-9 plays a crucial role in the modulation of innate and adaptive immunity. Objectives: To investigate whether Gal-9 plays a role in a murine acute lung injury (ALI)...
