High-Throughput Mass Spectrometry Analysis of N-Glycans and Protein Markers after FUT8 Knockdown in the Syngeneic SW480/SW620 Colorectal Cancer Cell Model.

ABSTRACT: Disruption of the glycosylation machinery is a common feature in many types of cancer, and colorectal cancer (CRC) is no exception. Core fucosylation is mediated by the enzyme fucosyltransferase 8 (FucT-8), which catalyzes the addition of α1,6-l-fucose to the innermost GlcNAc residue of N-glycans. We and others have documented the involvement of FucT-8 and core-fucosylated proteins in CRC progression, in which we addressed core fucosylation in the syngeneic CRC model formed by SW480 and SW620 tumor cell lines from the perspective of alterations in their N-glycosylation profile and protein expression as an effect of the knockdown of the FUT8 gene that encodes FucT-8. Using label-free, semiquantitative mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, we found noticeable differences in <
