Galectin inhibitor GCS-100 induces apoptosis in AML cells and synergizes with BH3 mimetics ABT-737 and ABT-199.
GCS-100 suppresses ERK and AKT signaling, reduces MCL-1 protein expression, and induces p53 protein expression.
Suppression of Galectin 3 supports MCL-1 gene and protein expression in wt p53 OCI-AML3 cells but not p53 null THP-1 cells.
