Overexpression of Galectin-1 and Galectin-3 in hepatocellular carcinoma
Liver Research, 2020 Galectins (Gals) are evolutionarily conserved proteins that bind to β-galactoside containing glycans. Abnormal expression of Gals is associated with the development, progression, and metastasis of different types of cancer. Among the 11 Gals identified in humans, the roles of Gal-1 and Gal-3 have been extensively investigated in various tumors.

Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase 7 impairs lysophagy in LLOMe‐treated HepG2 cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.DPP7 inhibition delays ubiquitin‐dependent lysophagy by attenuating ubiquitin accumulation and the recruitment of SQSTM1 and LC3 to damaged lysosomes, resulting in delayed clearance of damaged lysosomes and impaired restoration of lysosomal homeostasis. Created using FigureLabs (Certificate ID: FL‐PUB‐20260922‐Z99XNX).

Galectin-1 for Neuroprotection? [PDF]
Immunity, 2012 Classically activated microglia (M1) are believed to play a key role in neuronal degeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS). In this issue of Immunity, Starossom et al. (2012) show that Galectin-1 exerts a neuroprotective function through glycosylation-dependent inactivation with M1 cells.

Prognostic Value and Biological Function of Galectins in Malignant Glioma
Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 Malignant glioma is the most common solid tumor of the adult brain, with high lethality and poor prognosis. Hence, identifying novel and reliable biomarkers can be advantageous for diagnosing and treating glioma.

The multifaceted roles of lysosomes in cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Lysosomes support cancer cell adaptation by integrating macromolecule degradation and nutrient recycling with nutrient sensing, inter‐organelle communication and immune regulation. These interconnected functions can promote tumour growth, stress tolerance and therapy resistance, while also creating context‐dependent vulnerabilities that may be ...
