Project description:Metastasis constitutes a hallmark of cancer and serves as the principal cause of cancer-related mortality. Nevertheless, the mechanism of liver metastasis in CRC remains incompletely clarified. This study investigates the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SLERT and its critical role in promoting liver metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) by downregulating HUNK expression. We found that SLERT was significantly upregulated in CRC tissues, correlating with poorer survival outcomes. Functional assays revealed that silencing SLERT inhibited CRC cell migration and invasion, while its overexpression promoted these metastatic behaviors. Mechanistic analysis showed that SLERT interacts with the RNA-binding protein RBM15, impairing its ability to stabilize HUNK mRNA, leading to decreased HUNK levels and increased metastatic potential. The cytoplasmic localization of SLERT indicates its active role in regulating gene expression within the tumor microenvironment. Collectively, these results suggest that SLERT serves as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target, indicating that targeting SLERT or restoring HUNK expression could provide novel strategies to combat liver metastasis in CRC and improve patient prognosis.

Project description:XIST is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that mediates transcriptional silencing of X chromosome genes. Here we show that XIST is highly methylated with at least 78 N6-methyladenosine (m6A) residues, a reversible base modification whose function in lncRNAs is unknown. We show that m6A formation in XIST, as well as cellular mRNAs, is mediated by RBM15 and its paralog RBM15B, which bind the m6A-methylation complex and recruit it to specific sites in RNA. This results in methylation of adenosines in adjacent m6A consensus motifs. Furthermore, knockdown of RBM15 and RBM15B, or knockdown of the m6A methyltransferase METTL3 impairs XIST-mediated gene silencing. A systematic comparison of m6A-binding proteins shows that YTHDC1 preferentially recognizes m6A in XIST and is required for XIST function. Additionally, artificial tethering of YTHDC1 to XIST rescues XIST-mediated silencing upon loss of m6A. These data reveal a pathway of m6A formation and recognition required for XIST-mediated transcriptional repression. Three to four biological HEK293T replicates were used to perform iCLIP of endogenous YTH proteins, RBM15, and RBM15B. Crosslinking induced truncations were identified using CIMS-CITS pipeline.

Project description:we performed infrared crosslinking immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (irCLIP-seq) (Zarnegar et al., 2016) for Rbm15 to directly map its binding sites on RNA. As a principle of concept, the cells were engineered to simultaneously express emGFP-Rbm15 and Xist RNA together, as Rbm15 strongly interacts with Xist A-repeat to deposit the m6A methylation downstream. Cross-linking induced truncation site (CITS or RT stops) is the main signature occurring at our irCLIP-seq datasets. RNA meta-profile plot against normalized transcripts shows that these CITSs reside across the transcript, with 2 main peaks in transcript starts and near the stop-codon regions, in agreement with the RBM15/15B binding profile in human cells (Patil et al., 2016).Motif analysis against CITSs revealed that Rbm15 binding sites prefer U-rich stretches, namely 3 or 4 consecutive Us. This is also true for crosslinking induced mutations (CIMS).

Project description:N6-methyl-adenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modification on messenger RNAs and is linked to human diseases, but its functions in mammalian development are poorly understood. Here we reveal the evolutionary conservation and function of m6A by mapping the m6A methylome in mouse and human embryonic stem cells. Thousands of messenger and long noncoding RNAs show conserved m6A modification, including transcripts encoding core pluripotency transcription factors. m6A is enriched over 3M-bM-^@M-^Y untranslated regions at defined sequence motifs, and marks unstable transcripts, including transcripts turned over upon differentiation. Genetic inactivation or depletion of mouse and human Mettl3, one of the m6A methylases, led to m6A erasure on select target genes, prolonged Nanog expression upon differentiation, and impaired ESCM-bM-^@M-^Ys exit from self-renewal towards differentiation into several lineages in vitro and in vivo. Thus, m6A is a mark of transcriptome flexibility required for stem cells to differentiate to specific lineages. Examing m6A modification differences in two different cell types

Project description:Our study demonstrated that the expression of Igf2bp1 in activated microglia was significantly up-regulated, implying a role of Igf2bp1 in LPS-induced m6A modifications in microglia. To understand the roles of Igf2bp1 on LPS-induced m6A modification in microglia, we performed Igf2bp1 loss-of-function (LOF) approach. Microglia stimulated by LPS were transfected with either scrambled siRNA control or Igf2bp1 siRNA for 48 hours. To m6A modification profiles in control and Igf2bp1 LOF microglia were determined by MeRIP-seq analysis.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a crucial epigenetic modification in mRNA and the most abundant methylation in eukaryotes. However, research on m6A modification in radish (Raphanus sativus) is not as extensive as in model plants. In this study, we analyzed m6A modification during the vegetative and reproductive growth stages of radish using m6A-seq and RNA-seq to explore its potential role in bolting and flowering. The results showed that m6A peaks significantly increased during the reproductive growth stage compared to the vegetative stage, with more m6A modification sites in the stop codon, 3' UTR, and promoter regions. Overexpression of the RsALKBH10B gene led to a global reduction in m6A modification and resulted in an early bolting and flowering phenotype, with transcription levels of key flowering factors RsSOC1 and RsFT increasing by 10-40 fold. Correlation analysis between differential m6A modification and differentially expressed genes indicated that genes such as RsSUF4, RsAGL13, and RsCDF5 might regulate bolting and flowering. Overexpression of RsSUF4 delayed bolting and flowering and decreased overall m6A modification levels; in positive transgenic plants, higher m6A levels of RsSUF4 were associated with lower transcription levels. These findings suggest that m6A methylation may regulate gene expression related to bolting and flowering in radish by affecting mRNA stability, ultimately leading to bolting and flowering.

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.

Project description:Glutathione peroxidase 8 (GPX8) is a key regulator of redox homeostasis. Whether its antioxidant activity participates in the regulation of m6A modification is a crucial issue, which has important application value in cancer treatment. MeRIP-seq was used to explore the characteristics of transcriptome-wide m6A modification in GPX8-deficient oral cancer cells in this study. Oxidative stress caused by lack of GPX8 resulted in 1,279 hyper- and 2,287 hypo-methylated m6A peaks and 2,036 differentially expressed genes in GPX8-KO cells. Twenty-eight differentially expressed genes were related to the cell response to oxidative stress, and half of them changed their m6A modification. In GPX8-KO cells, m6A regulators IGF2BP2 and IGF2BP3 were upregulated, while FTO, RBM15, VIRMA, ZC3H13 and YTHDC2 were downregulated. After H2O2 treatment, the expression changes of RBM15, IGF2BP2 and IGF2BP3 were further enhanced. These data indicated that GPX8-mediated redox homeostasis regulated m6A modification, thereby affecting the expression and function of downstream genes. This study highlights the possible significance of GPX8 and the corresponding m6A regulatory or regulated genes as novel targets for antioxidant intervention in cancer therapy

Project description:In this study we performed MeRIP-Seq to study N6-methyl adenosine (m6A) and and N6,2′ -O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) modification of mRNA. We investigated the effect of the microbiota on the transcriptome and epitranscriptomic modifications in murine liver and cecum. We compared m6A/m modification profiles in cecum of conventionally raised (CONV) and germ-free (GF) mice. We additionally included GF mice colonised with the flora of CONV mice for four weeks (ex-GF), for which show that they exhibit similar patterns of the most abundant genera of gut bacteria as CONV mice. We added mice treated with several antibiotics to deplete the gut flora (abx)and vancomycin treated mice in which the genera Akkermansia, Escherichia/Shigella and Lactobacillus were enriched. Furthermore, we included GF mice colonised with the commensal bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila (Am), Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp) and Escherichia coli Nissle (Ec) and analysed their m6A/m modification profiles. In addition, we analysed changes in m6A/m- modified liver RNA for CONV, GF, and Am, Lp and Ec mice.
