Gal-3 promotes cell migration likely through increasing the expression of p-AKT (ser473).

Western blotting was used to analyze the expression of p-Akt (ser473) in Gal-3-knockdown and -overexpressing BM-MSCs (A,B). The level of p-Akt (ser473) was quantified by ImageJ software. Error bars represent the SEM (***p < 0.001).
