The two endocytic pathways mediated by the carbohydrate recognition domain and regulated by the collagen-like domain of galectin-3 in vascular endothelial cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Galectin-3 plays an important role in endothelial morphogenesis and angiogenesis. We investigated the endocytosis of galectin-3 in human vascular endothelial cells and showed that galectin-3 could associate with and internalized into the cells in a ...

Galectin-3 facilitates cell motility in gastric cancer by up-regulating protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundGalectin-3 is known to regulate cancer metastasis. However, the underlying mechanism has not been defined. Through the DNA microarray studies after galectin-3 silencing, we demonstrated here that galectin-3 plays a key role in up-regulating the

Galectin-3 and cancer stemness [PDF]

open access: yesGlycobiology, 2018
Over the last few decades galectin-3, a carbohydrate binding protein, with affinity for N-acetyllactosamine residues, has been unique due to the regulatory roles it performs in processes associated with tumor progression and metastasis such as cell proliferation, homotypic/heterotypic aggregation, dynamic cellular transformation, migration and invasion,

Galectin‐3 Is a Potential Mediator for Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, 2020
Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory arterial disease forming the pathological basis of many cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, and stroke. Numerous studies have implicated inflammation as a key player in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Galectin‐3 (Gal‐3) is

Galectin-1 and galectin-3 as modulators of systemic CD4+ T-lymphocyte balance in colorectal cancer

open access: yesБюллетень сибирской медицины
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 ...

Galectin-3 suppresses mucosal inflammation and reduces disease severity in experimental colitis

open access: yes, 2017
Galectin-3, a member of the beta-galactoside-binding lectin family, expresses in many different immune cells and modulates broad biological functions including cell adhesion, cell activation, cell growth, apoptosis, and inflammation. However, the role of

Galectin-3 in angiogenesis and metastasis [PDF]

open access: yesGlycobiology, 2014
Galectin-3 is a member of the family of β-galactoside-binding lectins characterized by evolutionarily conserved sequences defined by structural similarities in their carbohydrate-recognition domains. Galectin-3 is a unique, chimeric protein consisting of three distinct structural motifs: (i) a short NH2 terminal domain containing a serine ...

Galectin-3 plasma levels are associated with left atrial contractile function in long-distance runners. [PDF]

open access: yesExp Physiol
Abstract High‐intensity endurance exercise induces myocardial remodelling as an adaptive response to sustained volume overload, but excessive cumulative training might also favour deleterious cardiac remodelling, including atrial fibrosis. Whether acute marathon running engages circulating fibrosis‐related biomarkers and whether these biomarkers track ...
