1,2Fucosyltransferase increases resistance to apoptosis of rat colon carcinoma cells
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Accumulation of histo-blood group antigens such as Lewis b, Lewis Y and H in colon cancer is indicative of poor prognosis. It is accompanied by increase in alpha1,2fucosyl-transferase activity, a key enzyme for synthesis of these antigens. Using a model of colon carcinoma, we previously showed that alpha1,2fucosylation increases tumorigenicity. We now show that tumorigenicity inversely correlates with the cells'...
