LGALS1 and neoplasm: The results demonstrated that when tumor cells were injected intraperitoneally to simulate tumor cell shedding and peritoneal metastasis, the peritoneal metastases nodules were not statistically significantly different between the WC and NC groups, while the OE-LGALS1 group exhibited significantly more peritoneal metastases nodules than the control groups (P < 0.01, Fig. 4A, D).
