Expression Patterns of Galectin-1 and Galectin-3 in Hibernating Anatolian Ground Squirrel (Spermophilus Xanthoprymnus) Gastrointestinal Tract
Abstract
Hibernation is a survival adaptation characterized by extended fasting when food is less or unavailable. Prolonged fast may affects various proteins expression including galectins binding β-galactosyl. There is no data on the expression of Galectin-1 and -3 (Gal-1 and -3) during hibernation. This study aimed to examine the expression of Gal-1 and -3 in hibernating Anatolian ground squirrel (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus) gastrointestinal tract. Intense Gal-1 immunostaining was observed in some cells of both gastric lamina propria and villous connective tissue of the small intestine. In colon and cecum, intense Gal-1 immunoreaction was observed in some connective tissue cells around the crypt epithelium, as well as in the smooth muscles of vessel walls, lamina muscularis and tunica muscularis of all the regions. Gastric foveolar epithelium showed moderate nuclear and intracytoplasmic Gal-3 immunostaining. Moreover, Gal-3 immunostaining was detected in villous epithelial cells of the duodenum and ileum. Intense Gal-3 labeling also was present in all the cryptal surface epithelial cells of the colon and cecum. In conclusion, both Gal-1and Gal-3 expression in gastrointestinal tract during hibernation was similar to that of non-hibernating species. In the gastrointestinal tract, Gal-1 did not display different expression pattern, whereas Gal-3 expression was more intense in large intestine epithelium.
