Serum Galectin-3 as a Potential Marker for Gastric Cancer
BACKGROUND The identification of cancer biomarkers can advance the possibility for early detection and better monitoring of tumor progression. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum galectin-3(Gal-3) in patients with gastric cancer (GC). MATERIAL AND METHODS We measured serum Gal-3 levels using ELISA method in 87 patients with GC, 53 patients with ben...
متن کاملGalectin-3 is a presurgical marker of human thyroid carcinoma.
Galectin-3 is a carbohydrate-binding protein endowed with an affinity for beta-galactosides. It has been shown to play an important role in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions and in pre-mRNA splicing. Furthermore, it is involved in the control of cell growth, neoplastic transformation, and metastasis. Interestingly, high levels of galectin-3 expression have been recently described in malign...
متن کاملexpression of galectin-3 as a testis inflammatory marker in vasectomised mice
objective: vasectomy, though in some cases are being confronted with irreversibility, has been accepted as an effective contraceptive method. it is estimated that near 2-6% of vasectomised men ultimately show a tendency to restore their fertility. in some cases, vasectomy has been considered as an irreversible procedure due to many post-vasectomy complications causing this debate. the aim of pr...
متن کاملGalectin-3 cleavage: a novel surrogate marker for matrix metalloproteinase activity in growing breast cancers.
Failed therapies directed against matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) in cancer patients may be attributed, in part, to lack of diagnostic tools to differentiate between pro-MMPs and active MMPs, which indicate whether a treatment is efficacious or not. Because galectin-3 is cleavable in vitro by MMPs, we have developed differential antibodies recognizing its cleaved and noncleaved forms and tested...
