Peritoneal colonization by human pancreatic cancer cells is inhibited by antisenseFUT3 sequence
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Several alpha(1,3/1,4) fucosyltransferases expressed in human pancreatic cancer cells can participate in the biosynthesis of cell surface sialyl-Lewis a and sialyl-Lewis x antigens that contribute to hematogenous metastatis. Previously, we observed a significant increase of the alpha(1,4) fucosyltransferase activity in tumoral pancreatic cell lines, suggesting that FUT3 could be involved in the sialyl-Lewis...
