Omniprésentes dans le règne animal et végétal, les galectines occupent de nombreuses fonctions biologiques au sein des organismes vivants. Cette famille de lectines, capable de se lier aux B-galactosides grâce à un domaine de reconnaissance des sucres conservé, compte quinze membres chez les mammifères. Ces protéines ont pu être identifiées comme des acteurs importants de plusieurs processus biologiques tels que le cycle cellulaire, la réponse immunitaire ou encore la migration cellulaire. Plus récemment les galectines ont été identifiés comme des cibles thérapeutiques de choix car la dérégulation de l’expression de ces protéines a pu être corrélée à plus d’une centaine de pathologies (cancer, diabète, maladie inflammatoire,…). L’un des enjeux majeurs concernant la recherche sur ces protéines, est de parvenir à synthétiser des outils permettant une meilleure compréhension de leurs rôles au sein de l’organisme. Portant une attention plus particulière à la galectine-3, nous avons mis au point des voies de synthèses permettant l’obtention d’inhibiteurs affins et sélectifs de cette dernière, et ce dans le but d’être utilisés comme outils dans l’étude du rôle des galectines dans le phénomène de migration cellulaire des cellules épithéliales de la peau. Appliquant une réaction d’azido-phenylsélénation au lactal ou par une approche chimio-enzymatique, nous avons pu synthétiser deux familles de nouveaux composés dérivés de la lactosamine. L’affinité et la sélectivité de ces composés vis-à-vis des galectines ont été déterminées par des techniques de bio-puces, de polarisation de fluorescence ou encore de microcalorimétrie.

abstract = {Pancreatic cancer cells express high levels of MUC1, MUC4 and MUC16 mRNAs that encode membrane-bound mucins. These mRNAs share unusual features such as a long half-life. However, it remains unknown how mucin mRNA stability is regulated. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is an endogenous lectin playing important biological functions in epithelial cells. Gal-3 is encoded by LGALS3 which is up-regulated in pancreatic cancer. Despite the absence of a RNA-recognition motif, Gal-3 interacts indirectly with pre-mRNAs in the nucleus and promotes constitutive splicing. However a broader role of Gal-3 in mRNA fate is unexplored. We report herein that Gal-3 increases MUC4 mRNA stability through an intermediate, hnRNP-L which binds to a conserved CA repeat element in the 3′UTR in a Gal-3 dependent manner and also controls Muc4 mRNA levels in epithelial tissues of Gal3-/- mice. Gal-3 interacts with hnRNP-L in the cytoplasm, especially during cell mitosis, but only partly associates with protein markers of P-Bodies or Stress Granules. By RNA-IP plus RNA-seq analysis and imaging, we demonstrate that Gal-3 binds to mature spliced MUC4 mRNA in the perinuclear region, probably in hnRNP-L-containing RNA granules. Our findings highlight a new role for Gal-3 as a non-classic RNA-binding protein that regulates MUC4 mRNA post-transcriptionally.},
