The Role of Galectin-1 in Cancer Progression, and Synthetic Multivalent Systems for the Study of Galectin-1 [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016
This review discusses the role of galectin-1 in the tumor microenvironment. First, the structure and function of galectin-1 are discussed. Galectin-1, a member of the galectin family of lectins, is a functionally dimeric galactoside-binding protein.

Galectin‐1 in regenerating motoneurons

European Journal of Neuroscience, 2004
AbstractThe exogenous application of recombinant galectin‐1 has recently been shown to promote the rate of peripheral nerve regeneration. Endogenous neuronal galectin‐1 expression has recently been demonstrated to increase after axotomy. Here we demonstrate a significant increase in the endogenous neuronal expression of galectin‐1 mRNA in facial ...

Galectin-1 and galectin-3 in the trophoblast of the gestational trophoblastic disease

Placenta, 2004
While the presence and distribution of galectin-1 and galectin-3 in different normal trophoblast cell populations is known, no information is available regarding their occurrence in malignant trophoblast of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). Galectins-1 and -3 have, however, been implicated in malignancies of other tissues.

Understanding the biochemical activities of galectin-1 and galectin-3 in the nucleus

Glycoconjugate Journal, 2002
Nuclear extracts (NE), capable of carrying out splicing of pre-mRNA, contain galectin-1 and galectin-3. NE depleted of galectins-1 and -3 concomitantly lose their splicing activity. The activity of the galectin-depleted extract can be reconstituted by the addition of either galectin-1 or galectin-3.

Galectin-1 and HIV-1 Infection

2010
Initial binding of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) to its susceptible CD4(+) cells is the limiting step for the establishment of infection as the avidity of viral envelope gp120 for CD4 is not high and the number of viral envelope spikes on the surface is found to be low compared to highly infectious viruses. Several host factors, such as C-type

Expression of endogenous galectin-1 and galectin-3 in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Human Pathology, 2001
Galectins, a family of beta-galactoside-binding animal lectins, might be involved in tumor progression. In this study, the expression patterns of galectin-1 and -3 were examined immunohistochemically in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), with emphasis on its development and progression as well as its histopathologic features, by use of samples of ...

The immunological potential of galectin-1 and -3

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2009
A family of beta-galactosides-binding proteins, called galectins, have recently emerged as novel molecules with immunoregulatory functions. These proteins are expressed in both inflammatory and non-inflammatory cells including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, and B and T cells, giving a broad spectrum of involvement in the immune ...

The therapeutic potential of galectin-1 and galectin-3 in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases

Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2020
Introduction: Neuroinflammation has been proposed as a common factor and one of the main inducers of neuronal degeneration. Galectins are a group of β-galactoside-binding lectins, that play an important role in the immune response, adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, migration and cell growth.
