Cancer metastasis and immune suppression are critical issues in cancer therapy. Here, we show that a β-galactoside–binding lectin [galectin-3 (gal3)] that recognizes the Thomsen-Friedenreich disaccharide (TFD, Galβ1,3GalNAc) present on the surface of most cancer cells is involved in promoting angiogenesis, tumor-endothelial cell adhesion, and metastasis of prostate cancer cells, as well as evading immune surveillance through killing of activated T cells. To block gal3-mediated interactions, we purified a glycopeptide from cod (designated TFD 100 ) that binds gal3 with picomolar affinity. TFD 100 blocks gal3-mediated angiogenesis, tumor-endothelial cell interactions, and metastasis of prostate cancer cells in mice at nanomolar levels. Moreover, apoptosis of activated T cells induced by either recombinant gal3 or prostate cancer patient serum-associated gal3 was inhibited at nanomolar concentration of TFD 100 . Because the gal3–TFD interaction is a key factor driving metastasis in most epithelial cancers, this high-affinity TFD 100 should be a promising antimetastatic agent for the treatment of various cancers, including prostate adenocarcinoma.
