A contribuição das fucosiltransferases para a biologia do câncer

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Resumo

As fucosiltransferases são enzimas que catalisam a transferência de resíduos de L-fucose de um substrato doador para uma molécula receptora. Essas enzimas são codificadas por genes chamados FUTs (FUT1 a FUT-11) e POFUT1 e 2. Alterações na expressão de FUTs na fucosilação desempenham um papel importante no desenvolvimento do câncer e malignidade. Esta revisão explora alguns aspectos bioquímicos e funções biológicas das FUTs e suas contribuições no câncer. Em uma perspectiva ampla, as FUTs contribuem na tumorigênese, sobrevivência e metástase do câncer. Interações entre glicanos fucosilados e uma variedade de outras moléculas associadas ao câncer, como E-selectinas e receptor do fator de crescimento epidérmico (EGFR), apresentam vias alternativas para o desenvolvimento do câncer. Esta revisão também enfoca o fato de que as FUTs são potenciais biomarcadores para o prognóstico e diagnóstico do câncer, além de sua aplicação como alvos terapêuticos.
