Increased expression of galectin-1 is associated with human oral squamous cell carcinoma development

Abstract: Abstract. Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is a newly found immunoregulatory carbohydrate-binding protein in cancer biology. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Gal-1 on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) development. Immuno-histochemistry, Western blotting and RT-PCR were carried out in 62 primary OSCC, 38 oral leukoplakia (OPL) tissues to detect the Gal-1 expression in both protein and mRNA levels. Ten normal oral mucosa (NOM) tissues were used as control. Gal-1 protein was significantly overexpresse… Show more

“…In addition, oncogene transformation induces CCR5 expression, and the subpopulation of cells that express a functional CCR5 also displays increased cell migration [61] and invasiveness [62]. A microarray analysis on 2,254 human breast cancer specimens found increased expression of CCL5 and its receptor CCR5, but not CCR3, in the basal and HER-2 genetic subtypes [62].…”

“…However, the adipokines like TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 have been reported to promote tumor growth [211]. The role of ASCs in regulating breast cancer is confounding due to varied nature of secreted adipokines, such as CCL5, which enhances the motility of MCF-7 breast cancer cell in vitro [212]. In contrast to this, another study reported that high density ADSC-CM inhibited the MCF-7 [213].…”

“…Another MSC-secreted pro-metastasis cytokine, CCL5 (RANTES), can be secreted upon interaction with cancer cells and is associated with tumor progression and invasion in various cancers [73, 87, 100, 142144]. CCL5 can be secreted by both BM-MSC and ASC [100, 144] and displays pro-proliferative activities on breast cancer cell lines [145, 146]. Other MSC-secreted factors upregulated during interactions with cancer cells and exhibiting potent effect on tumor cells include BMP2, CXCL1, CXCL5, CXCL6, CXCL7, EGF, IL4, IL8, IL10, IL17b or S100A4.…”
