Galectin-3

Laboratoriumsmedizin-Journal of laboratory medicine, 2013
Galectin-3 is a carbohydrate-binding protein involved in inflammatory and fibrotic processes in various tissues. In the heart, galectin-3 activation has been associated with progression of cardiac fibrosis leading to cardiac remodeling and heart failure development.

Galectin-3

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 ...

Galectin-3 and metastasis

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 in cancer

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2014
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-

Taloside Inhibitors of Galectin‐1 and Galectin‐3

Chemical Biology & Drug Design, 2012
Galectin‐1 and galectin‐3 have roles in cancer and inflammation. Galectin‐1 has recently emerged as a significant protein produced by tumour cells to promote tumour development, angiogenesis and metastasis and consequently represents an important target to inhibit.

Galectin 3–β-galactobiose interactions

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013
Force 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, 2014
This 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, 1998
Galectin-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, 2014
Galectins 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 expression and secretion by tumor-associated macrophages in hypoxia promotes breast cancer progression.

Biochemical Pharmacology, 2020
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have been shown to be associated with poor prognosis of cancer and are predominately localized in the hypoxia regions of tumor.
