ABSTRACT: Purpose: To find m6A modified genes which were affected in Mettl3-KO (Mettl3fl/fl; Lgr5-EGFP-IRES-CreERT2; Villin-CreERT2) Intestinal stem cells, we used a method combining RNA-protein immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing to achieve RNA methylation, exactly m6A, analysis at the full transcriptome level. Methods: Intestinal stem cells (Lgr5-high cells) were sorted by flow cytometry in WT and Mettl3-KO intestinal epithelium at 4 dpt. mRNA was purified using Dynabeads mRNA Purification kit (Invitrogen, 61006). Then, mRNA was fragmented into ~100-nucleotide-long fragments by RNA Fragmentation Reagents (Ambion, AM8740) at 94 ℃ for 45s. After that, mRNA were immunoprecipitation with m6A antibody (NEB, NO.E1610S) to enrich the m6A-marked mRNA followed by RNA extraction by RNA clean&concentrator-5 (ZYMO RESEARCH, 1013). The cDNA libraries were generated using SMARTER Stranded Total RNA-seq kit v2. In each sample, reads were aligned to the mouse genome in Ensembl (release 95) with HISAT2. m6A peaks in each sample were identified using exomePeak (v2.17.0) R/Bioconductor package with default parameters. Conclusions: We found that 2074 transcripts showed a reduced m6A modification in Mettl3-KO Lgr5-high ISCs at 4 dpt. The most of targets contained the common m6A motif “RRACH (GGACU)” in the protein-coding region and 3’UTR, especially enriched near the stop codon.
