Galectin-3: A Novel Antiapoptotic Molecule with A Functional BH1 (NWGR) Domain of Bcl-2 Family1

Galectin-3, a ß-galactoside-binding protein, has been shown to be involved in tumor progression and metastasis. Here, we demonstrate that expression of galectin-3 in human breast carcinoma BT549 cells inhibits cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (cisplatin)-induced poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase degradation and apoptosis, without altering Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, or Bax expressions. Galectin-3 contains the NWGR amino acid sequence highly conserved in the BH1 domain of the bcl-2 gene family, and a substitution of glycine to alanine in this motif abrogated its antiapoptotic activity. Our findings demonstrate that galectin-3 inhibits apoptosis through a cysteine protease pathway and highlight the functional significance of the NWGR motif in apoptosis resistance of a non-Bcl-2 protein.
