Background  Increased fucosylation is associated with the chemoresistance phenotype. Meanwhile, fucosyltransferase IV (FUT4) amounts are frequently elevated in lung cancer and may be related to increased chemoresistance.    Methods  In the present work, FUT4’s role in cisplatin-induced apoptosis was assessed in A549 and H1975 cells, respectively. To clarify whether the FUT4 gene attenuates chemosensitivity in tumor cells, we constructed FUT4siRNA and evaluated its effects on cisplatin-induced apoptosis and cell growth inhibition. Cell viability, apoptosis, migration and invasion assay were conducted to investigate cisplatin sensitivity. The activation of EGFR/AKT/FOXO1 signaling were measured by western blot. The translocation of FOXO1 was assessed by IFC using Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope.    Results  We found that FUT4 knockdown dose-dependently increased cisplatin-associated cytotoxicity. Furthermore, FUT4 silencing induced apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in A549 and H1975 cells by suppressing Akt and FOXO1 phosphorylation induced by cisplatin administration, which resulted in nuclear translocation of FOXO1.    Conclusion  These results suggested FUT4 might control chemoresistance to cisplatin in lung cancer by suppressing FOXO1-induced apoptosis.

FUT4siRNA augments the chemosensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer to cisplatin through activation of FOXO1-induced apoptosis
