Résumé
Background: Signals triggered by galectin-9 in human T cells are poorly understood. Results: Impairment of Lck or T cell receptor-CD3 complex inhibits calcium mobilization and cytokine production but not apoptosis induced by galectin-9. Conclusion: Galectin-9 triggers two independent pathways in T cells, with one mimicking the antigen-specific activation. Significance: We discovered a novel mechanism involved in galectin-9 immunomodulatory effects.
