Objective: To study the expression of Galectin-3 and CDC25B mRNA in gastric carcinoma and their correlation with clinical-pathological features and the survival time.
Methods: Tissue microarray (TMA) technique and in situ hybridization were used to detect the expression of Galectin-3 and CDC25B mRNA in 220 gastric carcinoma specimens and 31 normal gastric mucosa samples.
Results: In situ hybridization results revealed that from the 220 cases, the positive expression rate of Galectin-3 and CDC25B mRNA were 58.6% and 54.1%, respectively. There was significant relationship between the Galectin-3 mRNA expression and tumor diameter, advanced TNM stage, invasion depth, vessel invasion, lymph node and distant metastasis. There was significant relationship between CDC25B mRNA expression and tumor diameter, advanced TNM stage, vessel invasion, lymph node and distant metastasis. In addition, there was apositive relationship of Galectin-3 and CDC25B mRNA expression. Finally, the mean survival time in cases with Galectin-3 and CDC25B mRNA positive expression was significantly shorter than those without Galectin-3 and CDC25B expression.
Conclusion: The expression of Galectin-3 and CDC25B mRNA appears to act as a promoting factor in the onset and development of gastric cancer. It can be used as a marker of prognosis of gastric carcinoma in clinical practice.

Purification of recombinant proteins remains a bottleneck for downstream processing. The authors engineered a new galectin 3 truncated form (CRD ), functionally and structurally characterized, with preserved solubility and lectinic activity. Taking advantage of these properties, the authors designed an expression vector (pCARGHO), suitable for CRD -tagged protein expression in prokaryotes.
