Galectin-3 and MCP have different effects on apoptosis: galectin-3 has a BH1 domain of BCL2 that can protect cells from apoptosis [46], [47] and transfection with the lectin makes T-cells resistant to this type of cell death [48]; MCP, in contrast, promotes apoptosis in angiosarcoma [49] and prostate cancer cell lines [31]. The gene discussed is BCL2; the disease is prostate carcinoma.
