The inhibition of ZC3H13 attenuates G2/M arrest and apoptosis by alleviating NABP1 m6A modification in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury.

ABSTRACT: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome caused by various etiologies and causes a rapid decline in renal function in a short period of time. The most common internal modification of mRNAs is the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, which is important for controlling gene expressions. However, the role of m6A modification in AKI is largely unknown. Here, we characterized the role of zinc finger CCCH-type containing 13 (ZC3H13), which is a type of m6A methyltransferases, in cisplatin-induced AKI mouse model and a cisplatin-treated human proximal tubular epithelial cell line (HK2 cells). The ZC3H13 knockdown attenuated the G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HK2 cells. In the ZC3H13-overexpressed HK2 cells, the opposite was true. In the presence of cisplatin, mice with the AAV9
