This study intends to investigate the inhibitory potential of different plant derived saccharides on cell migration and adhesion of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells to microvascular liver endothelium, particularly considering the role of transmembranous galectin-3. PDAC cell lines PancTu1 and Panc1 were characterized by considerable (transmembranous) galectin-3 (Gal3) expression. SiRNA mediated Gal3 knockdown as well as treatment with differentially processed pectins and arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) did not impact on cell migration of either PDAC cell line. In contrast, Gal3 knockdown reduced adhesion of PDAC cells to the liver endothelial cell line TMNK-1 being more pronounced in Panc1 cells. Similarly, plant derived substances did not impact cell adhesion of PancTu1 cells while partially hydrolyzed citrus pectin (MCP), pectinase-treated MCP (MCPPₑc) and partially hydrolized AGP (AGPTFA) clearly diminished adhesive properties of Panc1 cells. MCPPₑc or AGPTFA could not further intensify the adhesion reducing effect of galectin-3 knockdown, indicating that these plant derived polysaccharides are able to inhibit PDAC cell adhesion to liver endothelial cells in a galectin-3 dependent manner. Overall, these data suggest an inhibitory potential of plant derived processed saccharides which have undergone chemical modification in impairing PDAC cell adhesion to liver endothelium.
