Project description:we find METTL3 associates with polyribosomes and promotes translation. METTL3 depletion inhibits translation, and both wild-type and catalytically inactive METTL3 promote translation when tethered to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of a reporter mRNA. Mechanistically, METTL3 enhances mRNA translation through an interaction with the translation initiation machinery. m6A seq in A549 and H1299 cells, RNA seq in METTL3 knockdown cells

Project description:Esophageal cancer is a lethal malignancy with high mortality rate, while the molecular mechanisms underlying esophageal cancer pathogenesis are stillis poorly understood. Here we found that the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase METTL3 is significantly up-regulated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and associated with poor patient prognosis. Depletion of METTL3 results in decreased ESCC growth and progression in vitro and in vivo. We further established ESCC initiation and progression models using Mettl3 conditional knockout mouse and revealed that Mettl3 mediated m6A modification is essential for promotes ESCC initiation and progression in vivo. Moreover, using METTL3 overexpression ESCC cell model and Mettl3 conditional knockin mouse model, we demonstrated the critical function of Mettl3 in promoting in vivo ESCC tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Mettl3 catalyzed m6A modification promotes NOTCH1 expression and the activation of Notch signaling pathway. Forced activation of Notch signaling pathway successfully rescues the growth, migration and invasion capacities of METTL3 depleted ESCC cells. Our data uncovered important mechanistical insights underlying ESCC tumorigenesis and provided molecular basis for the development of novel strategies for ESCC diagnosis and treatment.

Project description: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.

Project description:Background: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification plays a crucial role in various biological events and is implicated in various metabolic-related diseases. However, its role in MASLD remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the impact of Mettl3 on MASLD through multi-omics analysis, with a focus on exploring its potential mechanisms of action. Methods: MASLD mouse models were established by feeding a high-fat diet for 12 weeks, and Mettl3 stable overexpression AML12 cell models were constructed via lentiviral transfection. Subsequent transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, as well as integrated analysis between different omics datasets, were conducted. Results: Mettl3 expression significantly increased in MASLD mouse models. In the transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, we identified 848 genes with significant inconsistencies between transcriptomic and proteomic datasets. GO/KEGG enrichment terms may involve post-transcriptional modifications, particularly Mettl3-mediated m6A modification. Subsequently, through integrated proteomic analysis of Mettl3-overexpressed AML12 cell models and MASLD mouse models, we selected the top 20 co-upregulated and co-downregulated GO/KEGG terms as the main biological processes influenced by Mettl3 in MASLD. By intersecting with pathways obtained from previous integrated analyses, we identified GO/KEGG terms affected by Mettl3-induced m6A modification. Protein-protein interaction analysis of proteins involved in these pathways highlighted GAPDH, ENO1, and TPI1 as three key hub genes. Conclusion: In MASLD, Mettl3 regulates the glycolytic pathway through m6A modification, influencing the occurrence and development of the disease via the key hub genes GAPDH, ENO1, and TPI1. These findings expand our understanding of MASLD and provide strong evidence for potential therapeutic targets and drug development.

Project description:The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA modification and the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) hold paramount importance in the advancement of MASLD. This study thoroughly investigates the relationship and impact of m6A mRNA modification and mitochondrial function in the progression of MASLD. Here we report that the mRNA and protein levels of mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) subunits showed inconsistent trends in vivo experiments. Abnormal m6A modification and mitochondrial dysfunction in MASLD were attributed to the upregulation of methyltransferase like 3 (Mettl3) and the downregulation of YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 1 (YTHDF1) induced by high-fat foods. Mettl3 promoted the MRC's function. However, knockout of the reader protein YTHDF1, which plays a crucial role in the m6A modification process, counteracted the effect of Mettl3 and suppressed MRC. In MASLD, damage to the MRC may be regulated by the Mettl3-m6A-YTHDF1 complex axis, especially by the role of YTHDF1. Our research has offered a novel perspective on the involvement of m6A mRNA methylation in the pathogenesis of MASLD.

Project description:Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) is the predominant catalytic enzyme which forms a stable complex with METTL14 and WTAP to promote m6A methylation in the nucleus. Recently, accumulating evidence has shown that METTL3 can express in the cytoplasm but the function of cytoplasmic METTL3 is not fully understood. Here, we demonstrated that METTL3 inhibition significantly delayed tumorigenesis in gastric cancer both in and ex vivo. Surprisingly, our data revealed that METTL3 could not only facilitate cancer progression via mRNA m6A modification, but also bind to numerous non-m6A-modified mRNAs, suggesting an unexpected role of METTL3 that was independent of m6A modification. Mechanistically, cytoplasm-anchored METTL3 interacted with poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1) to stabilize its association with cap-binding complex eIF4F, which preferentially promoted the translation of epigenetic factors without m6A modification. Clinical investigation using both xenograft models and patient samples showed that cytoplasmic distributed METTL3 was highly correlated with gastric cancer progression, and this finding could be expanded in prostate cancer patients. We therefore propose that cytoplasmic METTL3 enhances the translation of both m6A and non-m6A-modified epigenetic mRNAs thus serves as an oncogenic driver in cancer progression, and METTL3 subcellular distribution can assist diagnose and predict prognosis for cancer patients.

Project description:Genomic and transcriptomic alterations are insufficient to explain the variance in protein expression seen in cancer. Recent evidence has highlighted the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in the regulation of mRNA expression, stability and translation, supporting a potential role for post-transcriptional regulation mediated by m6A in cancer. Here we explore prostate cancer as an exemplar cancer and generate the first prostate m6A maps, and further examined how low levels of N6-adenosine-methyltransferase (METTL3) associates with advanced prostate cancer and results in altered expression at the level of transcription, translation, and protein. In particular extracellular matrix proteins have a high number of m6A sites and show significant changes in expression with METTL3 knock-down. We also discovered the upregulation of a hepatocyte nuclear factor-driven gene signature that is associated with therapy resistance in prostate cancer. Significantly, METTL3 knock-down rendered the cells resistant to androgen receptor antagonists, implicating changes in m6A as a mechanism for therapy resistance in metastatic prostate cancer.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation of mRNA by the methyltransferase complex (MTC), with core components including METTL3-METTL14 heterodimers and Wilms’ tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP), contributes to breast tumorigenesis, but the mechanism of MTC assembly remains elusive. Here, we identify a novel cleaved form METTL3a (residues 239-580 of METTL3), that is highly expressed in breast cancer. Furthermore, we find that both METTL3a and full-length METTL3 are required for MTC assembly, RNA m6A deposition, as well as cancer cell proliferation. Mechanistically, we find that METTL3a is required for METTL3-METTL3 interaction, which is a prerequisite step for recruitment of WTAP in MTC assembly. Analysis of m6A sequencing data shows that depletion of METTL3a globally disrupts m6A methylation, and METTL3a mediates mTOR activation via m6A-mediated suppression of TMEM127 expression. Consequently, we find that METTL3 cleavage is mediated by proteasome in an mTOR-dependent manner, revealing positive regulatory feedback between METTL3a and mTOR signaling. Our findings reveal METTL3a as an important component for MTC assembly, and suggest the METTL3a-mTOR axis as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.
