Myocardial infarction (MI) is the main cause of heart failure (HF). N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is associated with the progression of HF. The study aimed to explore whether METTL3 regulates ferroptosis of cardiomyocytes in HF. We evaluated ferroptosis by detecting lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release, lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS), Fe, glutathione (GSH), and malonaldehyde (MDA) levels. M6A methylation was assessed using methylated RNA immunoprecipitation assay. The binding relationship was assessed using RNA immunoprecipitation assays. The mRNA stability was assessed using actinomycin D treatment. The results showed that METTL3 was upregulated in oxygen glucose deprivation/recovery (OGD/R) cells, which knockdown suppressed OGD/R-induced ferroptosis. Moreover, METTL3 could bind to SLC7A11, promoting m6A methylation of SLC7A11. Silencing of SLC7A11 abrogated the suppression of ferroptosis induced by METTL3 knockdown. Additionally, YTHDF2 was the reader that recognized the methylation of SLC7A11, reducing the stability of SLC7A11. The silencing of METTL3 inhibited OGD/R-induced ferroptosis by suppressing the m6A methylation of SLC7A11, which is recognized by YTHDF2. The findings suggested that METTL3-mediated ferroptosis might be a new strategy for MI-induced HF therapy.

6-methyladnosine (mA) modification is present in both positive- and negative-strand RNA of influenza A virus (IAV) and affects the replication and pathogenicity of IAV. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanism of mA in IAV RNA. In the present study, we identified the mA methylation of the viral RNA of different IAV subtypes and confirmed that mA modification promotes the polymerase activity and replication of IAV.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a prevalent complication associated with diabetes in which podocyte dysfunction significantly contributes to the development and progression of the condition. Ring finger protein 183 (RNF183) is an ER-localized, transmembrane ring finger protein with classical E3 ligase activity. However, whether RNF183 is involved in glomerular podocyte dysfunction, which is the mechanism of action of DKD, is still poorly understood.

Background: The screening and monitoring of gastric cancer is still a clinical challenge. Both N-methyladenosine (mA) and lncRNAs have been evidenced as critical regulators of gastric cancer, but their interaction and potential in modulating tumor progression remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the function of lncRNA LINC00968 in gastric cancer biological processes, and we discovered the role of KIAA1429, a typical mA eraser, in mediating LINC00968 function.

The dysregulation of the M1/M2 macrophage balance plays a pivotal role in autoimmune diseases. However, the interplay between microRNAs (miRNAs) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modulation in regulating this balance remains poorly understood. Here, a significant reduction in miR-31-5p levels is observed in the lacrimal glands of rabbit autoimmune dacryoadenitis and the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) dry eye patients.
