Identification of potential druggable targets for endometriosis through Mendelian randomization analysis by Peng Chen, Xin Wei, Xiao-Ke Li, Yi-Hang Zhou, Yi-Hang Zhou, Qi-Fang Liu, Ling Ou-Yang

“…External validation further supported this causal association. Galectin-3 (LGALS3; OR = 0.9906; 95% CI: 0.9835–0.9977; P = 0.0101), carboxypeptidase E (CPE; OR = 1.0147; 95% CI: 1.0009–1.0287; P = 0.0366), and alpha-(1,3)-fucosyltransferase 5 (FUT5; OR = 1.0053; 95% CI: 1.0013–1.0093; P = 0.002) were detected as potential targets for EM in CSF. …”

Secreted LGALS3BP facilitates distant metastasis of breast cancer by Seung-Su Kim, Issac Park, Jeesoo Kim, Na-Lee Ka, Ga Young Lim, Mi-Ye Park, Sewon Hwang, Ji-Eun Kim, So Yeon Park, Jong-Seo Kim, Hyun-Woo Rhee, Mi-Ock Lee

“…Results TAMR secretome analysis revealed that 176 proteins were secreted at least 2-fold more from MCF7/TAMR cells than from sensitive cells, and biological processes such as cell adhesion and angiogenesis were associated with the TAMR secretome. Galectin-3 binding protein (LGALS3BP) was one of the top 10 most highly secreted proteins in the TAMR secretome. …”
