Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant glioma with a high death rate. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation plays an increasingly important role in tumors. The current study aimed to determine the function of the regulators of m6A RNA methylation in GBM. We evaluated the difference, interaction, and correlation of these regulators with TCGA database. and, were significantly upregulated in GBM. To explore the expression characteristics of regulators in GBM, we defined two subgroups through consensus cluster. , WTAP, and YTHDF2 were significantly upregulated in the cluster2 which had a good overall survival (OS). To investigate the prognostic value of regulators, we used lasso cox regression algorithm to screen an independent prognostic risk characteristic based on the expression of , and . The prognostic feature between the low and high-risk groups was significantly different ( < 0.05), which could predict significance of prognosis (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.819). Moreover, we used western blot, RT-PCR, and immunohistochemical staining to verify the expression of was associated with malignancy and development of gliomas. Similarly, the high expression of had a good prognosis. In conclusion, is a vital participant in the malignant progression of GBM and might be valuable for prognosis.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of malignant tumors commonly found in Southeast Asia and China, with insidious onset and clinical symptoms. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification significantly contributes to tumorigenesis and progression by altering RNA secondary structure and influencing RNA-protein binding at the transcriptome level. However, the mechanism and role of abnormal m6A modification in nasopharyngeal carcinoma remain unclear.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) pregnancies present a higher risk of singleton preterm birth than natural pregnancies, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. RNA mA modification is a key epigenetic mechanism regulating cellular function, but the role of mA modification, especially its "reader" YTHDC1, in preterm delivery remains undefined. To delineate the role and epigenetic mechanism of mA modification in ART preterm delivery, the effects of YTHDC1 on trophoblastic function were evaluated by CCK-8, EdU, Transwell, and flow cytometry analyses post its overexpression or knockdown.

Although N-methyladenosine (mA) and its regulatory proteins were involved in multiple cellular damage processes, the roles of mA and its regulatory proteins in cadmium-induced pulmonary cell damage remain largely unknown. Our present data indicated that cadmium exposure caused serious damage in bronchial epithelial cells, as evidenced by reduction of cell viability and elevation of oxidative damage and apoptosis. These processes were accompanied by alterations of mA modification and its regulatory proteins (FTO, ALKBH5, YTHDC2).

Lipid metabolism reprogramming is critical for the initiation and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, how the dysregulation of lipid metabolism contributes to HCC development remains largely unknown. Here, we report that the mA reader YTHDC1-mediated epigenetic regulation of the long noncoding RNA NEAT1 activates stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD)-associated lipid metabolic processes during HCC progression.

Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor and is frequently diagnosed in juvenile. Cellular senescence is a fundamental hallmark of osteosarcoma and plays a vital role in the initiation and progression of aging and tumorigenesis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in tumorigenesis.
