osteosarcoma (oS) is the most common bone cancer in children and young adults. Solid tumors are characterized by intratumoral hypoxia, and hypoxic cells are associated with the transformation to aggressive phenotype and metastasis. the proteome needed to support an aggressive osteosarcoma cell phenotype remains largely undefined. To link metastatic propensity to a hypoxia-induced proteotype, we compared the protein profiles of two isogenic canine OS cell lines, POS (low metastatic) and HMpoS (highly metastatic), under normoxia and hypoxia. Label-free shotgun proteomics was applied to comprehensively characterize the hypoxia-responsive proteome profiles in the OS cell phenotypes. Hypothesis-driven parallel reaction monitoring was used to validate the differential proteins observed in the shotgun data and to monitor proteins of which we expected to exhibit hypoxia responsiveness, but which were absent in the label-free shotgun data. We established a "distance" score (|z HMPOS − z POS |), and "sensitivity" score (|z Hypoxia − z Normoxia ) to quantitatively evaluate the proteome shifts exhibited by oS cells in response to hypoxia. evaluation of the sensitivity scores for the proteome shifts observed and principal component analysis of the hypoxia-responsive proteins indicated that both cell types acquire a proteome that supports a Warburg phenotype with enhanced cell migration and proliferation characteristics. Cell migration and glucose uptake assays combined with protein function inhibitor studies provided further support that hypoxia-driven adaption of pathways associated with glycolytic metabolism, collagen biosynthesis and remodeling, redox regulation and immunomodulatory proteins typify a proteotype associated with an aggressive cancer cell phenotype. Our findings further suggest that proteins involved in collagen remodeling and immune editing may warrant further evaluation as potential targets for anti-metastatic treatment strategies in osteosarcoma.

“…Based on their findings, these authors suggested that Gal 1 may represent a novel molecular target for the diagnosis and prognosis of oral SCCs, and that its inhibitors might be useful in the management of early-stage oral carcinogenesis. More recently Noda et al (41) determined that Gal 1 expression in gingival SCC significantly correlates with the histological differentiation of tumor cells, the extent of apoptosis and T cell infiltration, lymph node metastasis, and overall survival rate. Based on their findings, these authors suggested that this galectin may be used as a clinicopathological prognostic marker for gingival SCC.…”

Gal 1, the first identified and best-studied prototypical member of the galectin family, is encoded in humans by the LGALS1 gene, which is located on chromosome 22 (q12) (10). It is a noncovalent homodimeric protein with a 14 kDa monomer that contains one CRD and preferentially recognizes galactose-β1-4-N-acetyl-glucosamine sequences on N-or O-linked glycans (11). AbstractGalectins are a family of soluble proteins that are widely distributed in nature and bind to a variety of glycoproteins and glycolipids bearing β-galactoside residues. They are involved in highly important processes at the molecular and cellular level in human cutaneous and extracutaneous tissues, and they exert biological effects of paramount importance through their interaction with cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins and the components of the cell surface and extracellular matrix. Galectin 1 (Gal 1), the first galectin isolated, is a noncovalent homodimeric protein with a 14 kDa monomer that contains one carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD) and preferentially recognizes galactose-β1-4-N-acetyl-glucosamine sequences on N-or O-linked glycans. Gal 1 occurs intracellularly, extracellularly, and on the cell surface. In the last few years Gal 1 has emerged as a multifaceted protein that exerts a wide spectrum of regulatory effects in diverse normal and abnormal tissues and conditions, indicating a tremendous therapeutic potential. This review summarizes current knowledge on the expression of Gal 1 in normal and diseased human skin, its implications in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and prognosis of cutaneous disorders, and the novel approach to the treatment of these disorders offered by the use of Gal 1 or its inhibitors/antagonists.

“…Galectins play important roles in the development of acute inflammation as well as chronic inflammation (27). Both galectin (Gal)-1 and Gal-3 are distributed widely in different cells and tissue types, including innate and adaptive immune cells (23,28). Gal-1 and Gal-3 facilitate the proliferation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and play an important role in liver fibrosis (29).…”

Schistosomiasis is a severe public health problem, which can cause tissue fibrosis and can even be fatal. Previous studies have proven that galectins and different kinds of cells involve in the regulation of tissue fibrosis process. In this study, outbred Kunming mice were infected with Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum). Our results showed that compared with uninfected mice, there were severe egg granulomatous inflammation and tissue fibrosis in the livers, spleens, and large intestines of S. japonicum-infected mice at 8 weeks post-infection (p.i.), and the number of eosinophils by hematoxylin and eosin staining and CD68 macrophage-positive area by immunohistochemical staining were significantly increased. Detected by using quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), at 8 weeks after S. japonicum infection, the mRNA expression levels of galectin (Gal)-1, Gal-3, CD69, eosinophil protein X (EPX), and chitinase 3-like protein 3 (Ym1) were significantly increased in liver, spleen, and large intestine; eotaxin-1 (CCL11) and eosinophil cationic protein were significantly increased in both liver and spleen; eotaxin-2 (CCL24) and Arginase1 (Arg1) were significantly increased in both spleen and large intestine; and CD200R was significantly increased in both liver and large intestine. However, interleukin (IL)-1ß and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were only significantly increased in liver. The M2/M1 ratio of CD200R/CD86 genes was significantly increased in liver, and ratios of Ym1/IL-1β and Ym1/iNOS were significantly increased in liver, spleen, and large intestine of S. japonicum-infected mice. Ex vivo study further confirmed that the levels of Gal-1, Gal-3, CD200R, Arg1, and Ym1 were significantly increased, and the ratios of CD200R/CD86 and Ym1/IL-1β were significantly increased in peritoneal macrophages isolated from S. japonicum-infected mice at 8 weeks p.i. In addition, correlation analysis showed that significant positive correlations existed between mRNA levels of Gal-1/Gal-3 and EPX in liver, between Gal-3 and Ym1 in both liver and large intestine, and between Gal-3 and CD200R in peritoneal macrophages of S. japonicum-infected mice. Our data suggested that Gal-1, Gal-3, eosinophils, and macrophages are likely involved in the development of egg granulomatous response and fibrosis induced by S. japonicum infection.
