Fucosyltransferase 5 Promotes the Proliferative and Migratory Properties of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Cells via Regulating Protein Glycosylation Profiles.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is increasing globally, and its prognosis has not improved substantially in recent years. Understanding the pathogenesis of ICC may provide a theoretical basis for its treatment. In this study, we investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of fucosyltransferase 5 (FUT5) on the malignant progression of ICC.

Methods

FUT5 expression in ICC samples and adjacent nontumor tissues was compared using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical assays. We performed cell counting kit-8, colony formation, and migration assays to determine whether FUT5 influenced the proliferation and mobility of ICC cells. Finally, mass spectrometry was performed to identify the glycoproteins regulate
