Project description:Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in working-age populations. Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) is an N6-methyladenosine (m6A) demethylase that demethylates RNAs involved in energy homeostasis, though its influence on DR is not well studied. Herein, we detected elevated FTO expression in vitreous fibrovascular membranes of patients with proliferative DR. FTO promoted cell cycle progression and tip cell formation of endothelial cells (ECs) to facilitate angiogenesis in vitro, in mice, and in zebrafish. FTO also regulated EC-pericyte crosstalk to trigger diabetic microvascular leakage, and mediated EC-microglia interactions to induce retinal inflammation and neurodegeneration in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, FTO affected EC features via modulating CDK2 mRNA stability in an m6A-YTHDF2-dependent manner. FTO up-regulation under diabetic conditions was driven by lactate-mediated histone lactylation. FB23-2, an inhibitor to FTO's m6A demethylase activity, suppressed angiogenic phenotypes in vitro. To allow for systemic administration, we developed a nanoplatform encapsulating FB23-2 and confirmed its targeting and therapeutic efficiency in mice. Collectively, our study demonstrates that FTO is important for EC function and retinal homeostasis in DR, and warrants further investigation as a therapeutic target for DR patients.

Project description:YTHDF2 is overexpressed in a broad spectrum of human acute myeloid leukemias (AML). To study the role of YTHDF2 in leukemia, total RNA from Ythdf2CKO (n=4) and Ythdf2CTL (n=4) leukemic stem cells were used for Affymetrix global gene expression analysis.

Project description:To identify the target mRNAs of the m6A reader protein YTHDF2 in mouse hippocampus, we carired out anti YTHDF2 RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP) followed by RNA-sequencencing. Using EZ-Magna RIP™ RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation Kit (Millipore), RNA from P40 wild type mouse hippocampus was pulled down by rabbit polyclonal anti-YTHDF2 (proteintech) and then sequenced on Illumina Novaseq 6000. The filtered reads were aligned to the mouse reference genome (GRCm38) using BWA mem (v 0.7.12).Then the MACS2 (version 2.1.0) peak calling software was used to identify regions of IP enrichment over background, followed by the motif detected by Homer (Heinz et al., 2010). Peak related genes are then confirmed by PeakAnnotator. Different peak analysis was based on the fold enrichment of peaks of different experiments. A peak was determined as different peak when the odds ratio between two groups was more than 2. Using the same method, genes associated with different peaks were identified. Finally, Biological replicates of anti-YTHDF2 RIP-Seq identified 408 mRNAs transcripts. This study provides gene lists which shows mRNA binding with YTHDF2 in mouse hippocampus.

Project description:Glioblastoma is a universally lethal cancer driven by glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). Here, we interrogated N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA modifications in GSCs by methyl RNA-immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (meRIP-seq) and transcriptome analysis, finding transcripts marked by m6A often upregulated. Interrogating m6A regulators, GSCs displayed preferential expression as well as in vitro and in vivo dependency of the m6A reader, YTHDF2, in contrast to normal neural stem cells (NSCs). While YTHDF2 has been reported to destabilize mRNAs, YTHDF2 stabilized the oncogene transcripts, MYC and VEGFA, in GSCs in an m6A-dependent manner. We identified IGFBP3 as a downstream effector of the YTHDF2-MYC axis in GSCs and IGF1/IGF1R inhibitor, Linsitinib, as preferentially targeting YTHDF2-expressing cells, inhibiting the viability of GSCs without affecting NSCs and impairing in vivo glioblastoma growth. Thus, YTHDF2 links RNA epitranscriptomic modifications and GSC growth, laying the foundation for the YTHDF2-MYC-IGFBP3 axis as a specific and novel therapeutic target in glioblastoma.

Project description:To identify the target mRNAs of the m6A reader protein YTHDF2, we carired out anti YTHDF2 RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP) followed by RNA-sequencencing. Using EZ-Magna RIP™ RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation Kit (Millipore), RNA from P0 wild type mouse retinas was pulled down by rabbit polyclonal anti-YTHDF2 (proteintech) and then sequenced on Illumina HiSeq3000 platform. The filtered reads were mapped to the mouse reference genome (GRCm38) using STAR v2.5 with default parameters. The resulting bam files were fed to HTSeq tool to count the number of RNA-seq reads, which was further normalized to calculate FPKM. To determine which gene is enriched, we computed the FPKM from RIP elute to input and any fold change greater than 2 was considered enriched. Finally, Biological replicates of anti-YTHDF2 RIP-Seq identified 1639 transcripts. This study provides a gene list which shows mRNA binding with YTHDF2 in mouse retina.

Project description:The mRNA m6A reader YTHDF2 is overexpressed in a broad spectrum of human acute myeloid leukemias (AML). To study the role of YTHDF2 on mRNA decay rates in leukemia, c-Kit+ cells from foetal livers of Ythdf2fl/fl; Vav-iCre (Ythdf2CKO) and Ythdf2fl/fl (Ythdf2CTL) 14.5 dpc embryos were transduced with Meis1 and Hoxa9 oncogenes and serially re-plated to generate pre-leukemic cells. Medium with 4SU was used for pre-leukemic cells labelling for 12 hours and was later replaced with 4SU-free medium (time 0). Cells were collected immediately after medium change and at 1, 3 and 9 hours for library generation. RNA from Ythdf2CKO (n=3 biological replicates) and Ythdf2CTL (n=3 biological replicates) pre-leukemic cells were used for SLAM-seq library generation.

Project description:SUMOylation affects many aspects of target proteins such as activity, stability, localization and protein-protein interactions. We have found that SUMOylation of YTHDF2 increased its binding activity with m6A-RNAs by using different experimental approaches. To confiremd this conclusion,the analysis of RIP-seq, MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq in H1299-shYTHDF2 cells re-expressing YTHDF2-WT and YTHDF2-K571R was performed. MeRIP+RIP targets showed lower binding affinities in the mutant YTHDF2-K571R when compared with YTHDF2-WT. Compared to the control group, the binding capacities of YTHDF2 to RIP targets in treated group with either 2-D08 or GA were decreased, especially to MeRIP+RIP targets. Moreover, SUMOylated YTHDF2 promoted m6A-RNAs degradation. Combined analysis of RNA-seq, RIP-seq and MeRIP-seq showed that the mRNA levels were up-regulated in shYTHDF2 stable cells re-expressing YTHDF2-K571R compared with those in re-expressing YTHDF2-WT.
