The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC), a leading cause of cancer‑related mortality, has increased globally. Fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2), catalyzing the α 1, 2‑linked fucose in mammals, has been reported to be overexpressed in several malignant cancers, including CRC. However, the effects of FUT2 on CRC remain largely unknown. Herein, it was determined that the FUT2 expression levels in CRC tissues were higher than those in adjacent non‑tumor tissues, whereas no association with tumor stage was revealed. The results of biological functional analysis revealed that FUT2 knockdown inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of human CRC cells. Moreover, the knockdown of FUT2 arrested the CRC cells at the G0/G1 phase and promoted the apoptosis of human CRC cells . Western blot analysis demonstrated that the expression levels of β‑catenin, C‑myc and cyclin D1 were decreased by FUT2 knockdown in CRC cells, whereas the expression of glycogen synthase kinase‑3β and the phos‑ phorylation levels of β‑catenin were increased. Additionally, Wnt2 was fucosylated by FUT2 in CRC cells.

Overall, the findings of the present study suggest that FUT2 may be used as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for CRC treatment.  \nIntroduction  \nColorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer‑related mortality and was the third most commonly diagnosed tumor in 2020, according to global cancer statis‑ tics (1,2) . The incidence and mortality associated with colorectal cancer are rapidly increasing, due to environmental factors, dietary changes, the aging population and germline genetics (3,4) . The incidence of CRC has been increasing in recent years, and the mortality rates of male and female patients with CRC in China have increased (5) . Therapies for CRC have notably improved; however, the 5‑year survival rate of patients with metastatic CRC remains extremely low, and metastatic CRC, in most cases, remains an incurable disease (6) . It is thus imperative to exploit new targets which play crucial roles in carcinogenesis. A more in‑depth under‑ standing the underlying molecular mechanisms may prove tobe helpful for the exploration of novel diagnostic or potential therapeutic targets for CRC.  \nGlycosylation, the major post‑translational modification of proteins, regulat","cbCaisAjr0Lg4kDv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisAjr0Lg4kDv","pdf",4284145,12,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Glycosylation and fucosylation in cancer\n## FUT2 and fucosyltransferases in tumor progression\n## Rationale for studying FUT2 in CRC\n# Wnt signaling pathway and CRC","[{\"question\":\"How does FUT2 expression relate to colorectal cancer tissues and tumor stage?\",\"answer\":\"FUT2 expression is higher in CRC tissues than in adjacent non-tumor tissues, and no association with tumor stage is observed.\"},{\"question\":\"What effects does FUT2 knockdown have on CRC cells?\",\"answer\":\"FUT2 knockdown inhibits CRC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, arrests cells in the G0/G1 phase, and promotes apoptosis.\"},{\"question\":\"How does FUT2 influence the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in CRC cells?\",\"answer\":\"After FUT2 knockdown, β-catenin, C-myc, and cyclin D1 levels decrease, glycogen synthase kinase-3β and β-catenin phosphorylation increase, and FUT2 fucosylates Wnt2 in CRC cells.\"}]","FUT2 promotes the tumorigenicity and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells via the Wnt/β‑catenin pathway | PDF",1790225993]
