The promigratory activity of the matricellular protein galectin-3 depends on the activation of PI-3 kinase.
Expression of galectin-3 is associated with sarcoma progression, invasion and metastasis. Here we determined the role of extracellular galectin-3 on migration of sarcoma cells on laminin-111. Cell lines from methylcholanthrene-induced sarcomas from both wild type and galectin-3(-/-) mice were establ...
