Quantification of galectin-7 and its localization in adult mouse tissues.

Abstract:

:We developed a method to quantify galectin-7 extracted from adult mouse tissues by Western blot analysis. More than 0.5 ng of galectin-7 per mg of tissue was detectable by this method. The amounts of galectin-7 in tissues were determined as follows: skin, 62 +/- 3 ng/mg; esophagus, 23 +/- 8 ng/mg; stomach, 18 +/- 6 ng/mg; anus, 13 +/- 1 ng/mg; and tongue, 12 +/- 2 ng/mg. This indicates that galectin-7 production coincides with the degree of stratification of the epithelia. Interestingly, we also detected significant amounts of galectin-7, 5.9 plus minus 1.4 and 2.7 +/- 0.6 ng/mg, in the trachea and ovaries, respectively. Moreover, we found that galectin-7 is localized in the pseudostratified epithelium of the trachea and stromal epithelium of the ovaries by immunohistochemistry. Thus, galectin-7 protein might be produced primarily in stratified epithelia, but also in some wet epithelia, and plays a unique role in cell-mucus contact, or the growth of ovarian follicles.
