Abstract:
:Galectin-3, a beta-galactoside binding protein, plays a significant role in cell to extracellular matrix interactions. Despite its extracellular expression, the precise physiological mechanisms that trigger its release from the intracellular milieu have not been characterized. The present analyses were, therefore, done to identify the extracellular matrix proteins with propensity to induce the release of intracellular galectin-3 from breast carcinoma cells. Our studies demonstrate that fetuin, a serum glycoprotein that is abundant in the fetal serum, is capable of inducing the rapid release (approximately 1 min) of intracellular galectin-3 from the cells. The mechanism by which galectin-3 is rapidly released appears to be novel and does not depend on changes in intracellular calcium levels. We also report that galectin-3-expressing breast carcinoma cells in serumless medium adhere and spread well on microtiter wells in the presence of fetuin and divalent ions in a carbohydrate-dependent manner. The data suggest that fetuin is a natural modulator of galectin-3 secretion/release and that the secreted galectin-3 modulates the activity of cell surface receptors for extracellular matrix proteins.
