| Research Abstract |
Galectin-3, has been strongly expressed in hormone-refractory prostate cancer, showed a negative correlation between expression of androgen receptor and galectin-3 in hormone-refractory prostate cancer cell line PC3. Galectin-3 was involved in resistance to apoptosis induced by platinum-based drug and radio therapy through the suppression of the caspase-3 activity and stability of the mitochondria. Galectin-3 is a target protein involved in the resistance of hormone therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy in hormone-refractory prostate cancer.
