“…LGALS3BP is involved in immunity, angiogenesis, cellular adhesion and migration and tumour microenvironment (TME) crosstalk, influencing tumour growth and progression (Capone et al, 2021). Recently, LGALS3BP has been indicated as one of the most abundant glycoproteins on the surface of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma and neuroblastoma (Capone et al, 2020;Castillo et al, 2018;Dufrusine et al, 2023;Escrevente et al, 2013;Nakata et al, 2017;Song et al, 2021) and implicated in cargo delivery of these vesicles (Zhu et al, 2023), proposing a functional specialization for vesicular LGALS3BP. Interestingly, LGALS3BP was previously shown to affect cell growth and motility of OSCC cells by likely acting as an oncogene (Endo et al, 2013;Weng et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2019).…”
