Galectin-3 induces cytokine secretion from both human micro- and macrovascular endothelial cells. A and B, HMVEC-Ls (A) and HUVECs (B) were treated with BSA or galectin-3 for 24 h, and the concentrations of G-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-6, and ICAM-1 in the culture medium were determined. Data are presented as mean ± S.E. of at least three independent experiments, each in triplicate. ***, p < 0.001.
