After the cells were transfected with alpha1,3 FucT-VII cDNA, the expression of apoptotic protease, procaspase-3, was decreased, while the anti-apoptotic proteins, phospho-PKB and phospho-Bad were increased as compared with mock (vector) transfected cells, indicating that alpha1,3FucT-VII is a potential anti-apoptotic factor in H7,721 cells.
