Fig. 4

The proposed roles of galectin-3 (Gal-3) in oral lichen planus (OLP). Increased expression of Gal-3 plays an important pro-inflammatory role in the induction phase of OLP by promoting activation of the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and the maturation of Interleukin-1β (IL-1β). The figure was created using BioRender.com
