Possible role of galectin‐9 in cell aggregation and apoptosis of human melanoma cell lines and its clinical significance
23 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Galectin-9 expression was examined in 6 human melanoma cell lines. Among them, MM-BP proliferated with colony formation, but MM-RU failed. RT-PCR analysis revealed evident expression of galectin-9 mRNA in MM-BP but not in MM-RU. MM-BP expressed galectin-9 protein both on the surface and in the cytoplasm, whereas MM-RU expressed it only weakly in the cytoplasm. Exogenous galectin-9 induced in vitro both cell...
