Previous work has demonstrated the ability of the NG2 proteoglycan, a component of microvascular pericytes, to stimulate endothelial cell motility and morphogenesis. This function of NG2 depends on formation of a complex with galectin-3 and a3b1 integrin to stimulate integrin-mediated transmembrane
Galectin-3 is a beta-galactoside binding lectin whose precise physiological role is not yet defined. In the present studies, we questioned whether galectin-3 plays a role in the adhesion of breast carcinoma cells to elastin. The impetus for this analysis was the initial observation that the cellular
## Abstract Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a recently characterized member of the pentraxin family of acute‐phase proteins produced during inflammation. Classical short pentraxins, C‐reactive protein, and serum amyloid P component can bind to C1q and thereby activate the classical complement pathway. Since
