FUT8 and Peritoneal Fibrosis: In our experiments, the expression of core fucosylation of EGF receptor was markedly increased in rats with peritoneal fibrosis, suggesting core fucosylation of EGF receptor may play a role in peritoneal fibrosis To further elucidate the role of EGF receptor core fucosylation, we synthesized Fut8shRNA and confirmed that Fut8 was significantly knocked down in rats.
