We further investigated the tumor-promoting role of galectin-14 by xenograft experimentsin vivo, and found that knocking down galectin-14 in Huh-7 sc1 cells significantly inhibited tumor growth, while overexpressing galectin-14 in Huh-7 sc22 cells promoted tumor growth (Fig. 3C and3D). This evidence concerns the gene LGALS14 and neoplasm.
