Antibody-mediated blockade for galectin-3 binding protein in tumor secretome abrogates PDAC metastasis. [PDF]
The major challenges in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) management are local or distant metastasis and limited targeted therapeutics to prevent it. To identify a druggable target in tumor secretome and to explore its therapeutic intervention, we performed a liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)–based proteomic analysis of ...

Serum Galectin-9 and Galectin-3-Binding Protein in Acute Dengue Virus Infection. [PDF]
Dengue fever is a serious threat for public health and induces various inflammatory cytokines and mediators, including galectins and glycoproteins. Diverse immune responses and immunological pathways are induced in different phases of dengue fever progression. However, the status of serum galectins and glycoproteins is not fully determined.

Galectin 3 and Galectin 3 Binding Protein Improve the Risk Stratification after Myocardial Infarction. [PDF]
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) survivors are at risk of major adverse cardiac events and their risk stratification is a prerequisite to tailored therapeutic approaches. Biomarkers could be of great utility in this setting. Methods: We sought to evaluate the utility of the combined assessment of Galectin 3 (Gal-3) and Galectin 3 binding ...

Galectin 3-binding protein suppresses amyloid-β production by modulating β-cleavage of amyloid precursor protein. [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia, and its pathogenesis is associated with accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides. Aβ is produced from amyloid precursor protein (APP) that is sequentially cleaved by β- and γ-secretases.

Galectins, antibodies to them and galectin-3 binding protein in systemic lupus erythematosus
The study of galectins is provoked by the search for new biomarkers of activity, clinical manifestations, and disease outcomes of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The presented literature review summarizes the data on the most well-known galectins-1, -

Galectin-3 Binding Protein Secreted by Breast Cancer Cells Inhibits Monocyte-Derived Fibrocyte Differentiation. [PDF]
Abstract To metastasize, tumor cells often need to migrate through a layer of collagen-containing scar tissue which encapsulates the tumor. A key component of scar tissue and fibrosing diseases is the monocyte-derived fibrocyte, a collagen-secreting profibrotic cell.
