FUT7 and hepatocellular carcinoma: FUT7 expression is up-regulated at both mRNA and protein levels in hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells, and an sLex-binding DNA aptamer effectively inhibited the interactions between E-selectin and sLex in HepG2 cells, resulting in reduced adhesion, migration, and invasion of the cells in vitro (Wang et al. 2017).
