A number of studies have reported evidence of positive or negative contributions of galectin-9 (gal-9) to human and experimental malignancies. Some clinical observations and in vitro experiments suggest that cell-associated gal-9 has anti-metastatic effects. On the other hand, extra-cellular gal-9 consistently enhances tumor immune escape. The aim of this experiment is to study the impact of gal-9 gene invalidation in the murine bladder carcinoma cell line MB49, in vitro. It complements the results of a comparative experiment carried out using the same cells as part of a serial transplantations protocol, whose results are already available on Annotare (E-MTAB-9220).
