摘要	Galectins are a family of animal lectins with high affinity for beta-galactosides. Galectins are able to bind to bacteria, and a few mammalian galectins are known to kill the bound bacteria. In fish, no galectins with direct bactericidal effect have been reported. In the present study, we identified and characterized a tandem repeat galectin-8 from tongue sole Cynoglossus semilaevis (designated CsGal-8). CsGal-8 possesses conserved carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs), as well as the conserved HXNPR and WGXEE motifs that are critical for carbohydrate binding. CsGal-8 was constitutively expressed in nine tissues of tongue sole and up-regulated in kidney, spleen, and blood by bacterial challenge. When expressed in HeLa cells, CsGal-8 protein was detected both in the cytoplasm and in the micro-vesicles secreted from the cells. Recombinant CsGal-8 (rCsGal-8) bound to lactose and other carbohydrates in a dose dependent manner. rCsGal-8 bound to a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and was co-localized with the bound bacteria in animal cells. Lactose, fructose, galactose, and trehalose effectively blocked the interactions between rCsGal-8 and different bacteria. Furthermore, rCsGal-8 exerted potent bactericidal activity against some gram-negative bacterial pathogens by directly damaging the membrane and structure of the pathogens. Taken together, these results indicate that CsGal-8 likely plays an important role in the immune defense against some bacterial pathogens by direct bacterial interaction and killing.
