Human trophoblast requires galectin-3 for cell migration and invasion
14 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Invasive extravillous cytotrophoblast of the human placenta expresses galectins-1, -3, and -8 in vivo and in vitro. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of galectin-3 in cell migration and invasion, using recombinant human galectin-3 (rhgalectin-3), small molecule galectin inhibitor I47, and galectin-3 silencing. HTR-8/SVneo cell migration was stimulated by rhgalectin-3 and reduced by I47,...
