Galectin-1 and galectin-3 are galactoside-binding proteins involved in different steps of tumor progression and potential targets for therapy. We have investigated the expression of these galectins in 38 human bladder transitional-cell carcinomas of different histological grade and clinical stage an
## Abstract We previously reported that galectinโl gene expression increases up to 100โfold in oncogeneโtransformed rat thyroid cells compared with their normal counterparts and that the relative mRNA levels correlate with the degree of malignancy. In the present study we investigated whether galec
Galectin-3 is a member of the galectin family of โค-galactoside-specific animal lectins. Here we show that galectin-3 is constitutively expressed in 15 out of 16 glioma cell lines tested, but not by normal or reactive astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, glial O-2A progenitor cells and the oligodendrocyte p
