Abstract
AbstractVaginal dysbiosis often occurs in patients with cervical cancer. The fucosylation of mucosal epithelial cells is closely related to microbial colonization, and play an important role in protecting the vaginal mucosal epithelial cells. However, no reports on the relationship between vaginal dysbiosis and abnormal mucosal epithelial cell fucosylation, and their roles in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer are unavailable. Here we report that core fucosylation levels were significantly lower in the serum, exfoliated cervical cells and tumor tissue of cervical cancer patients. Core fucosyltransferase gene (Fut8) knockout promoted the proliferation and migration of cervical cancer cells. In patients with cervical cancer, the vaginal dysbiosis, and the abundance of Lactobacillus, especially L. iners, was significantly reduced. Meanwhile, the abundance of L.iners was positively correlated with core fucosylation levels. The L. iners metabolite lactate can activate the Wnt pathway through the lactate-Gpr81 complex, which increases the level of core fucosylation in epidermal cells, inhibiting the proliferation and migration of cervical cancer cells, and have application prospects in regulating the vaginal microecology and preventing cervical cancer.
