Galectin-1 promotes gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis through peritoneal fibrosis
Background Peritoneal metastasis is one of the main causes of death in patients with gastric cancer (GC). Galectin-1 regulates various undesirable biological behaviors in GC and may be key in GC peritoneal metastasis. Methods In this study, we elucidated

Galectin-1 Pulls the Strings on VEGFR2 [PDF]
Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) cancer immunotherapy targets angiogenesis but development of resistance in patients is common. In this issue of Cell, Croci et al. identify a complex set of mechanisms by which galectin-1 prolongs cell-surface retention of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and stimulates VEGF-independent tumor angiogenesis.

Galectinology of Equine Pregnancy
Galectins are a family of proteins that bind to glycans, acting in a cytokine-like manner throughout the body. In the majority of mammalians, galectins have been found to be involved in pregnancy maintenance, but few studies have evaluated this in the ...

Galectin-1 and galectin-3 as modulators of systemic CD4+ T-lymphocyte balance in colorectal cancer
Aim. To evaluate the relationships between plasma levels of galectin-1 and galectin-3 and the composition of CD4+ T-lymphocyte subpopulations (Th1, Th17, and Treg) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and to determine a direct in vitro modulatory ...

“Supra”molecular Recognition of Galectin 1
In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Belitsky et al. [1] elegantly describe the use of supramolecular complexes of sugars to multivalently target Galectin-1 (Gal-1), a lectin involved in the organization of cell surface glycoproteins, signaling, cell death, and cancer metastasis.

Galectin-1 as a potential cancer target [PDF]
Galectins are a family of structurally related carbohydrate-binding proteins, which are defined by their affinity for poly-N-acetyllactosamine-enriched glycoconjugates and sequence similarities in the carbohydrate recognition domain. Galectin-1, a member of this family, contributes to different events associated with cancer biology, including tumour ...
