Project description:YT521-B homology domain family 2 (YTHDF2), an m6A-binding protein, plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including cell migration, proliferation, differentiation, and inflammation. It is also involved in mRNA decay and pre-rRNA processing. This study investigates the specific impact of YTHDF2 on the pathogenesis of psoriasis and its underlying mechanisms. Initially, increased expression of YTHDF2 was observed in psoriasis. Subsequent silencing of YTHDF2 in psoriatic cell model led to a decrease in mRNA expression of IL-17A, S100A8, and S100A9, as well as a reduction in cell proliferation. Conversely, overexpression of YTHDF2 resulted in the opposite effects. Treatment with the YTHDF2 inhibitor DC-Y27-13 demonstrated a therapeutic effect on psoriasis mice. mRNA sequencing analysis revealed enrichment of differentially expressed genes in the Wnt signaling pathway. Further investigation indicated that deletion of YTHDF2 increased the half-life and expression of Dickkopf homolog 3 (DKK3), which in turn inhibited the Wnt signaling pathway, ultimately attenuating the inflammatory response and inhibiting cell proliferation.

Project description:Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide and poor prognosis remains a major problem encountered in its treatment. The dynamic and reversible N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification has been recently implicated in the tumorigenesis and metastasis of a variety of cancers. However, the biological functions and underlying mechanisms of YTHDF2 in the regulation of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression remain elusive. Here we report that YTHDF2 expression was significantly increased in lung adenocarcinoma than in adjacent normal tissues. YTHDF2 knockdown drastically inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration in vitro, and the opposite proved true when YTHDF2 was overexpressed. In addition, YTHDF2 attenuation significantly inhibited tumorigenesis in a murine tumor xenograft model. Through the integrative analysis of RNA-seq, m6A-seq, CLIP-seq, and RIP-seq datasets, we identified a set of potential direct targets of YTHDF2 in lung adenocarcinoma. We further confirmed AXIN1, which encodes a negative regulator of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling, as a direct target of YTHDF2. YTHDF2 promotes AXIN1 RNA decay and subsequently activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Knockout of AXIN1 can sufficiently rescue the inhibitory effect of YTHDF2 depletion on lung cancer cell proliferation, colony-formation, and migration. Collectively, our results uncovered YTHDF2-mediated regulation of the AXIN1/Wnt/β-catenin signaling that contributes to LUAD tumorigenesis, and thus provided insight into the mechanisms underlying lung adenocarcinoma progression.

Project description:To study the role of the protein YTHDF2 during female gametogenesis, its gene was conditionally deleted in oocytes. Total RNA samples from YTHDF2 deficient GV and MII oocytes (and control oocytes) were subjected to array profiling.

Project description:Dynamic N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification was previously identified as a ubiquitous post-transcriptional regulation that affected mRNA homeostasis. However, the m6A-related epitranscriptomic alterations and functions remain elusive in human diseases such as cancer. Here we show that hypoxia regulates the ‘reader’ protein YTH domain family 2 (YTHDF2), to eventually stabilize the methylated oncogene mRNAs in inflammation-associated liver cancer. YTHDF2 silenced in human cancer cells or depleted in mouse hepatocytes evoked pro-inflammatory responses and accelerated tumor growth and metastatic progression. Under hypoxia, YTHDF2 processed the decay of m6A-containing interleukin 11 (IL11) and serpin family E member 2 (SERPINE2) mRNAs, which were responsible for the inflammation-mediated malignancy. Reciprocally, YTHDF2 transcription succumbed to hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α). Administration of a HIF-2α antagonist (PT2385) restored YTHDF2-programed epigenetic machinery and repressed liver cancer. Hence, our findings provide a new insight into the mechanism by which hypoxia adapts m6A-mRNA editing to promote cancer.

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:We found that the proliferation and differentiation capabilities of NSPCs decrease significantly in Ythdf2 null mutants.To explore the underlying molecular mechanism, we performed transcriptomics and well-established m6A-methylome analyses of NSPCs dervied from wild type and Ythdf2-/- embryo brains. RNA-seq data revealed that expressions of genes enriched in neural development pathways were significantly disturbed. The inhibitory genes, like Flrt2, Ptprd, et al. in regulation of JAK-STAT cascade, which contributes to the neuroprotection and neurite outgrowth, showed increased gene expressions and m6A enrichment by m6A-seq. We identified that without the recognizing and binding of Ythdf2, the degradation of neuron differentiation related m6A-modified mRNAs were delayed in Ythdf2-/-, thereby disturbing the proliferation and differentiation of NSPCs. In summary, our findings uncovered that Ythdf2 modulates neural developmental via regulating the clearance of mRNA targets.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant reversible modification on eukaryote messenger RNA, is recognized by a series of readers, including the YT521-B homology domain family (YTHDF) proteins, which are coupled to perform physiological functions. Here, we report that YTHDF2 and YTHDF3, but not YTHDF1, are required for reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Mechanistically, we found that YTHDF3 recruits the PAN2-PAN3 deadenylase complex and conduces to reprogramming by promoting mRNA clearance of somatic genes, including Tead2 and Tgfb1, which parallels the activity of the YTHDF2-CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex. Ythdf2/3 deficiency further represses mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) and chromatin silencing at loci containing the TEAD motif, contributing to decreased reprogramming efficiency. Moreover, RNA interference of Tgfb1 or the Hippo signaling effectors Yap1, Taz, and Tead2 rescues Ythdf2/3-defective reprogramming. Overall, YTHDF2/3 couple RNA deadenylation and regulation with the clearance of somatic genes provides insights into iPSC reprogramming at the posttranscriptional level.

Project description:We investigated the role of O-GlcNAcylation of m6A reader YTHDF2 in HBV-related hepatocarcinogenesis and progression. We found that YTHDF2 O-GlcNAcylation was elevated upon HBV infection through upregulated HBP. OGT-mediated YTHDF2 O-GlcNAcylation at Ser263 enhanced its protein stability, and subsequently changed the gene expression profiles. Mechanistically, we identified YTHDF2 stabilized minichromosome maintenance protein 2 (MCM2) and MCM5 mRNAs in an m6A dependent manner by high-throughput profiling of m6A-seq and RIP-seq, thereby promoting HBV-related HCC tumorigenesis. Importantly, our study proposed that targeting OGT-mediated YTHDF2 O-GlcNAcylation may be a novel strategy for potential treatment of HBV-associated liver cancer.
