Article Title: Galectin-12 in the Regulation of Sebocyte Proliferation, Lipid Metabolism, and Immune Responses
doi: 10.3390/biom15060837
Figure Lengend Snippet: Galectin-12 regulates the proliferation and differentiation of sebocytes. ( A ) Galectin-12 promotes sebocyte proliferation by upregulating key cell-cycle regulators, including CCNA1 and CDK2. ( B ) Galectin-12 promotes sebocyte differentiation and lipogenesis by upregulating PPARγ, which drives the expression of downstream targets, including ACS2 and DGAT1, that are essential for triglyceride and cholesterol synthesis.
Article Snippet: Galectin-12 was shown to upregulate the expression of cyclin A1 and CDK2, facilitating the progression of sebocytes through the cell cycle and into the S phase, thereby promoting sustained proliferation [ ].
