METTL3-Mediated m6A Modification of ISG15 mRNA Regulates Doxorubicin-Induced Endothelial Cell Apoptosis.

N6-adenosine methylation (m6A) of RNA is involved in the regulation of various diseases. However, its role in chemotherapy-related vascular endothelial injury has not yet been elucidated. We found that methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) expression was significantly reduced during doxorubicin (DOX)-induced apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells both in vivo and in vitro, and that silencing of METTL3 further intensified this process.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to investigate the role of POU Class 4 Homeobox 1 (POU4F1) in regulating gemcitabine (GEM) resistance in lung cancer cells. The mRNA and protein expressions were assessed using RT-qPCR, western blot, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry. Cell viability and proliferation were assessed by CCK-8 assay and EdU assay.

N6 adenosine and C5 cytosine modification of mRNAs, tRNAs and rRNAs are regulated by the behaviour of distinct sets of writer, reader and eraser effector proteins which are conventionally considered to function independently. Here, we provide evidence of global cross-regulatory and functional interaction between the mA and mC RNA methylation systems. We first show that mA and mC effector protein transcripts are subject to reciprocal base modification supporting the existence of co-regulatory post-transcriptional feedback loops.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study reveals that METTL3 influences m6A methylation, affecting cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, and silencing METTL3 worsens the damage.
  • * Cathepsin K (Ctsk) is identified as a key target in this process, and enhancing m6A levels through dietary methionine can reduce cartilage damage, suggesting a potential treatment strategy for KBD.

Association Analysis of 23 Gene Polymorphisms with Reproductive Traits in Kele Pigs.

Genes (Basel)

August 2024

Key Laboratory of Animal Genetics, Breeding and Reproduction in the Plateau Mountainous Region, Ministry of Education, College of Animal Science, Guizhou University, West Campus, Huaxi District, Guiyang 550025, China.

Methyltransferase-like 23 (23) is a kind of RNA methyltransferase that catalyzes the methylation transfer to the N6-adenosine of RNA, serving as one of the key mediators in this process. However, the 23 gene has been poorly researched in pigs. In this study, we investigated the genetic effects of 23 single-nucleotide polymorphism(SNPs) on reproductive traits in Kele pigs.
