Turning-Off Signaling by Siglecs, Selectins, and Galectins: Chemical Inhibition of Glycan-Dependent Interactions in Cancer

TL;DR: The current status of the discovery and development of chemical lectin inhibitors is reviewed and novel strategies to limit cancer progression by targeting lectin–glycan interactions are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Re-wiring regulatory cell networks in immunity by galectin–glycan interactions

TL;DR: This work focuses on the emerging roles of galectins, a family of highly conserved glycan‐binding proteins in regulating the fate and function of regulatory immune cell populations, both of lymphoid and myeloid origins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glycosylation-dependent galectin-receptor interactions promote Chlamydia trachomatis infection.

TL;DR: It is shown that galectin-1 (Gal1), an endogenous lectin widely expressed in female and male genital tracts, promotes Ct infection through glycosylation-dependent mechanisms involving recognition of bacterial glycoproteins and N-glycosylated host cell receptors, and Gal1 enhanced Ct attachment to cervical epithelial cells.
