FUT2-dependent fucosylation of LAMP1 promotes the apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells by regulating the autophagy-lysosomal pathway

Abstract excerpt

Fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) is an enzyme that adds fucose to proteins or lipids via α-1,2-fucosylation in the intestinal mucosa. While FUT2 deficiency is linked to increased susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) is unclear, and the molecular mechanisms involved remain largely unknown. We established an azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) model to...
