OBJECTIVE: It is an open question whether multifunctional galectin-3 can be a serum marker in inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS: Western blots and commercial ELISA detected and quantitated the lectin immunocytochemistry using double labeling localized it in tissue sections. RESULTS: Serum concentrations were significantly increased in specimen of patients with active and remission-stage ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, associated with emerging positivity of CD14(+) cells. CONCLUSION: Enhanced concentration of galectin-3 in serum reflects presence of disease and points to its involvement in the pathogenesis.
