METTL3-Mediated m6A Modification of TIMP2 mRNA Promotes Podocyte Injury in Diabetic Nephropathy [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic changes present in many physiological and pathological processes. The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most common modification in eukaryotic mRNA. However, the role of m6A modification in diabetic nephropathy (DN) is still elusive. Here, the level of m6A modification was significantly upregulated in podocytes stimulated by high glucose (HG), which was caused by elevated levels of METTL3. The results were consistent in the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced experimental model of type 1 diabetes and db/db type 2 diabetes mice. Knocking out METTL3 significantly reduced the inflammation and apoptosis of HG-stimulated podocytes, while its overexpression significantly aggravated these responses. More importantly, silencing METTL3 both in type 1 and type 2 diabetic mice in vivo significantly reduced urinary albumin excretion and histopathological injury. Mechanistically, METTL3 modulated Notch signaling via the m6A modification of its target gene, TIMP2, and exerted pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic effects. Moreover, METTL3 enhanced the stability of TIMP2 in an insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2)-dependent manner. In summary, this study suggested that METTL3-mediated m6A modification is an important mechanism of podocyte injury in DN. Targeting m6A through the writer enzyme METTL3 is a potential approach for the treatment of DN.

METTL3 mediates m6A modification of hsa_circ_0072380 to regulate the progression of gestational diabetes mellitus

Project description:M6A modification plays a vital role in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) progression. However, the role of METTL3 and differential m6A-modified circRNAs in GDM stay to be investigated. Placental tissue samples from GDM patients and normal controls (NC) were collected to measure changes in m6A modification levels. MeRIP-seq on placental tissue was performed to detect differential m6A-modified circRNAs.High glucose (HG)-treated JEG3 cells were used to establish the GDM cell model. Differentially expressed circRNAs levels in GDM and NC groups was measured by qRT-PCR. We knocked down METTL3 to study its function. Additionally, we conducted functional recovery experiments. Dot blot assay was utilized to assess changes in m6A levels. MeRIP-qPCR was performed to evaluate the effect of knocking down METTL3 on m6A modification of hsa_circ_0072380 in JEG3 cells. Compared with NC group, GDM group exhibited increased levels of m6A modification and METTL3 expression. Differences in m6A modification of circRNAs exist between the GDM and NC groups. Hsa_circ_0000994, hsa_circ_0058733, and hsa_circ_0072380 were significantly down-regulated in GDM group while hsa_circ_0036376, hsa_circ_0000471, and hsa_circ_0001173 showed no significant differences between two groups. HG treatment promoted METTL3 expression and m6A level of JEG3 cells, and inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities. Knocking down METTL3 reversed these effects. After HG treatment, hsa_circ_0072380 was significantly down-regulated. Knocking down METTL3 led to up-regulation of hsa_circ_0072380, while knocking down hsa_circ_0072380 restored the function of SiMETTL3. Additionally, knocking down METTL3 significantly reduced m6A modification of hsa_circ_0072380. METTL3 mediated m6A modification of hsa_circ_0072380 to regulate GDM progression.

Transcriptomic analysis of glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes exposed to methylglyoxal in co-culture

Project description:In diabetic nephropathy (DN), glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) and podocytes undergo pathological alterations, which are influenced by metabolic changes characteristic of diabetes, including hyperglycaemia (HG) and elevated methylglyoxal (MGO) levels. However, it remains insufficiently understood what effects these metabolic factors have on GEC and podocytes and to what extent the interactions between the two cell types can modulate these effects. To address these questions, we established a co-culture system in which GECs and podocytes were grown together in close proximity, and assessed transcriptional changes in each cell type after exposure to HG and MGO. We found that HG and MGO had distinct effects on gene expression and that the effect of each treatment was markedly different between GECs and podocytes. HG treatment led to upregulation of “immediate early response” genes, particularly those of the EGR family, as well as genes involved in inflammatory responses (in GECs) or DNA replication/cell cycle (in podocytes). Interestingly, both HG and MGO led to downregulation of genes related to extracellular matrix organisation in podocytes. Crucially, the transcriptional responses of GECs and podocytes were dependent on their interaction with each other, as many of the prominently regulated genes in co-culture of the two cell types were not significantly changed when monocultures of the cells were exposed to the same stimuli. Finally, the changes in the expression of selected genes were validated in BTBR ob/ob mice, an established model of DN. This work highlights the molecular alterations in GECs and podocytes in response to the key diabetic metabolic triggers HG and MGO, as well as the central role of GEC-podocyte crosstalk in governing these responses.

RNA m6A methylation regulates sorafenib-resistance in liver cancer through FOXO3-mediated autophagy [RNA-seq]

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a type of nucleotide modification abundant in mRNA, which regulates mRNA stability, splicing and translation. However, its physiological role in intratumoral microenvironment and drug resistancehave not been fully understood. We demonstrated that METTL3,a primary m6A methyltransferase, was significantly down-regulated in human sorafenib-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Depletion of METTL3 under hypoxia promoted sorafenib-resistance and angiogenesis and exacerbated progression by activating autophagy-associated pathway. Mechanistically, we identified FOXO3 as a key downstream target of the METTL3-mediated m6A modification. The m6A modification of FOXO3 at the 3'-untranslated region increased FOXO3 mRNA stability. Analysis of clinical samples showed that METTL3levels aretightly correlated with FOXO3levels in patients with HCC, and suppression of FOXO3 predicted poor clinical outcomes. Importantly, METTL3-depletion significantly enhanced sorafenib-resistance of HCC via a METTL3-FOXO3 axis, whereasoverexpression of FOXO3 restored the m6A-dependent sorafenib-sensitivity. Collectively, our work revealedthe critical function of the METTL3-mediated m6A modification in HCC in hypoxic tumor microenvironment, and provided insights into the molecular mechanism of the m6A modification in the resistance of HCC to sorafenib therapy.

m6A RNA Methylation is Critical for Adequate Exit from Naïve Pluripotency and Execution of Mammalian Development (Ribo-seq)

Project description:In this study we identify Mettl3, an m6A RNA modification writer, as a critical regulator for terminating naïve pluripotency and a positive maintainer of primed pluripotency in vitro and in vivo. Remarkably, Mettl3 knockout pre-implantation epiblasts and naïve ES cells, entirely lack m6A on coding mRNAs and are viable. Yet, they fail to adequately terminate the naïve pluripotent state, and subsequently undergo aberrant priming and early lineage commitment at the post-implantation stage. A comprehensive functional and genomic analysis involving profiling of m6A, RNA transcription and translation in Mettl3 wild-type and knockout pluripotent and differentiated cells, identified m6A as a critical determinant that destabilizes secondary naïve specific pluripotency genes Esrrb, Klf4 and Nanog, and restrains their transcript stability and translation efficiency. In summary, our findings provide for the first time evidence for a critical role for an mRNA epigenetic modification in early mammalian development in vivo, and identify a mechanism that functionally regulates mouse naïve and primed pluripotency in an opposing manner. Ribosome footprint (Ribo-Seq) was measured from mouse embryonic stem cells and mouse embriod bodies, in WT and Mettl3-KO cell lines.

TBK1-METTL3 axis facilitates antiviral immunity [RNA-seq: Mock or VSV treated WT and Ythdf1-KO BMDM]

Project description:mRNA m6A modification is involved in regulation of immune system. However, its function in antiviral immunity is controversial, and how immune responses regulate m6A modification is unknown. We here found TBK1, a key kinase of antiviral pathways, phosphorylated the core m6A methyltransferase METTL3 at Serine 67. The phosphorylated METTL3 interacted with translational complex and enhanced proteins translation, including IRF3, and facilitated antiviral responses. TBK1 also promoted METTL3 activation and m6A modification, which is required for stabilizing IRF3 mRNA. Type I IFN induction was severely impaired in METTL3 deficient cells. Mettl3flfl-lyz2-Cre mice were significantly more susceptible to IAV-induced lethality than control mice. Consistently, Ythdf1—/— mice cannot control viral infection and showed higher mortality than control mice due to decreased IRF3 expression. Together, we demonstrated that innate signals activated METTL3 via TBK1, and METTL3 and m6A modification secured antiviral immunity by promoting mRNA stability and protein translation.
