M6A modification regulates lung fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition through modulating KCNH6 mRNA translation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In summary, we characterized the role of m6A modification in pulmonary fibrosis. We reveal that m6A modification is increased in bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis mice model, FMT-derived myofibroblasts and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patient lung samples. Lowering m6A level through silencing METTL3 suppress FMT process in vitro and vivo. Fundamentally, m6A modification regulates FMT by modulating the translation of KCNH6 mRNA in a YTHDF1 dependent manner. This study provides novel insights into the mechanism of FMT process and suggests m6A modification intervention may be a promising therapeutic strategy for pulmonary fibrosis.
