Specifically, the most acidic fraction (uronic fraction from fourth day after harvest), with a mean molecular weight of 128 kDa and high antibody reactivity to LM5 and LM16 (1,4-β-galactan and type-1-rhamnogalacturonan, respectively), kept a slightly lower efficacy at the Gal-3−/− cells, suggesting that even though the cancer cell viability decrease could be in part due to Gal-3 inhibition, it was not the only molecular modulated pathway [7]. Here, LGALS3 is linked to cancer.
