The Indispensable Roles of GMDS and GMDS-AS1 in the Advancement of Cancer: Fucosylation, Signal Pathway and Molecular Pathogenesis.

Fucosylation is facilitated by converting GDP-mannose to GDP-4-keto-6-deoxymannose, which GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase, a crucial enzyme in the route, carries out. One of the most prevalent glycosylation alterations linked to cancer has reportedly been identified as fucosylation. There is mounting evidence that GMDS is intimately linked to the onset and spread of cancer. Furthermore, the significance of long-chain non-coding RNAs in the development and metastasis of cancer is becoming more well-recognized, and the regulatory mechanism of lncRNAs has emerged as a prominent area of study in the biological sciences. GMDS-AS1, an antisense RNA of GMDS, was discovered to have the potential to be an oncogene. We have acquired and analyzed relevant data to understand better how GMDS-AS1 and its lncRNA work physiologically and in tumorigenesis and progression. Additionally, we have looked into the possible effects of these molecules on cancer treatment approaches and patient outcomes. The physiological roles and putative processes of GMDS and lncRNA GMDS-AS1 throughout the development and progression of tumors have been assembled and examined. We also examined how these chemicals might affect patient prognosis and cancer therapy approaches. GMDS and GMDS-AS1 were determined to be research subjects by searching and gathering pertinent studies using the PubMed system. The analysis of these research articles demonstrated the close relationship between GMDS and GMDS-AS1 and tumorigenesis and the factors that influence them. GMDS plays a vital role in regulating fucosylation. The related antisense gene GMDS-AS1 affects the biological behaviors of cancer cells through multiple pathways, including the key processes of proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis, providing potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cancer treatment and prognosis assessment.
