Methods: Gal-3 gene was obtained by PCR from cancer cells. PCR product of Gal-3 was then clone into the eukaryote expression vector pEGFP-N1, then the recombinant vector pEGFP-Gal-3 was transfected into the NIH/3T3 cells. After transfection of the recombinant vector, the protein expression of Gal-3 in NIH/3T3 cells was detected by Western blot. The effect of Gal-3 on cell proliferation was investigated by MTT assay. Results: The recombinant eukaryote expression vector encoding Gal-3 was constructed successfully. The expression of Gal-3 in NIH/3T3 cells could be detected by Western blot. In addition, Gal-3 protein could promote the proliferation of NIH/3T3 cells. Conclusion: The new recombinant expression vector pEGFP-Gal-3 was constructed and expressed successfully in NIH/3T3 cells. Furthermore, our study found that Gal-3 [Key words] Galectin-3; NIH/3T3 cell; Cell proliferation [基金项目] 南京医科大学科技发展基金重点项目（2012NJMU088）。 *通讯作者，Email：dtzheng@njmu.edu.cn 半乳糖凝集素-3（Gal-3），属于半乳糖凝集素家族（Galectin family）成员
