Distant metastases account for the majority of breast cancers. We found both glycoproteins to be associated cancer-related deaths in breast cancer.

In this study, we addressed this question by Lewis x (sLex) antigen expressed by cancer cells and the analysing sLex expression together with two glycoproteins selectins expressed by endothelial or circulating immune (BST-2 and LGALS3BP), shown to interact with E-selectin in cells (3). There is a compelling body of evidence that a carbohydrate-dependent manner, in a cohort of 249 invasive sLex/selectin interaction is involved in metastatic progression in several types of solid tumours including gastric (4), lung (5) and prostate (6) cancers.

The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. LGALS3BP has been found elevated in the serum of patients with cancer and in those infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It appears to be implicated in immune response associated with natural killer (NK) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell cytotoxicity. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization the full length 90K cDNA has been localized to chromosome 17q25.
