European Journal of Heart Failure, 2009
Galectins are a family of soluble beta-galactoside-binding lectins that play many important regulatory roles in inflammation, immunity, and cancer. Recently, a role for galectin-3 in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) has been suggested. Numerous studies have demonstrated the up-regulation of galectin-3 in hypertrophied hearts, its stimulatory ...

Glycoconjugate Journal, 2002
Galectin-3, a 31 kDa member of the beta-galactoside-binding proteins, is an intracellular and extracellular lectin which interacts with intracellular glycoproteins, cell surface molecules and extracellular matrix proteins. Galectin-3 is expressed widely in epithelial and immune cells and its expression is correlated with cancer aggressiveness and ...

Galectin-3 (Gal-3) plays important roles in cell proliferation, adhesion, differentiation, angiogenesis and apoptosis in normal and pathologic tissues. Accumulated evidences indicate that Gal-3 is closely involved in tumor cell transformation, migration, invasion and metastasis. In this review, the associations of the expression and localization of Gal-

Galectin 3–β-galactobiose interactions
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013Force spectroscopy has been used to investigate the interaction between the disaccharide β-galactobiose and the pro-metastatic regulatory protein galectin-3 (Gal3). The studies revealed specific interactions characterised by an off-rate dissociation constant k(off)=0.33 s(-1) and interaction distance x=0.2 nm at zero applied force. These data suggest a

Immunoanalytical characteristics of galectin-3
Annales de biologie clinique, 2014This paper points out the structural and physiological data of galectin-3, and emphasizes its role in cardiac fibrosis and heart failure pathophysiology. Then we summarize the optimal conditions for sampling, assays and we discuss the interpretation of results.

Galectin-3 Stimulates Cell Proliferation
Experimental Cell Research, 1998Galectin-3, a beta-galactoside-binding protein, has been shown to be involved in multiple biological processes through interaction with its complementary glycoconjugates. Here we provide the first evidence of galectin-3 as a mitogen. Incubation of quiescent cultures of normal human lung fibroblast IMR-90 cells with recombinant galectin-3 (rgalectin-3 ...

Galectin-3 Interactions with Glycosphingolipids
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2014Galectins have essential roles in pathological states including cancer, inflammation, angiogenesis and microbial infections. Endogenous receptors include members of the lacto- and neolacto-series glycosphingolipids present on mammalian cells and contain the tetrasaccharides lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) and lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) that form their core ...

Galectin-3 and cancer (Review).
International Journal of Oncology, 2004Galectin-3 is a pleiotropic carbohydrate-binding protein involved in a variety of normal and pathological biological processes. Its carbohydrate-binding properties constitute the basis for cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions and cancer progression. Modulation of galectin-3 expression in cancer cells has indeed been reported.

Extracellular functions of galectin-3
Glycoconjugate Journal, 2002Galectin-3 has been suspected of modulating cell to extracellular matrix interactions in a novel fashion ever since it was first described. However, the rapid accumulation of research data in just the last 8 years alone has completely changed our perspective of this multifunctional protein.

Myocardial galectin-3 is upregulated upon cardiac stressors such as angiotensin II and pressure overload leading to cardiac remodeling and heart failure. The expression level of galectin-3 mirrors the progression and severity of heart failure and therefore, galectin-3 is being used as a biomarker for heart failure.
