N6-methyladenosine reader YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 3 or insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 knockdown protects human bronchial epithelial cells from hypoxia/reoxygenation injury by inactivating p38 MAPK, AKT, ERK1/2, and NF-κB pathways.

ABSTRACT: Lung ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury (LIRI) is a common complication after lung transplantation, embolism, and trauma. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification is implicated in the pathogenesis of I/R injury. However, there are no or few reports of m6A-related regulators in LIRI till now. In this text, dysregulated genes in lung tissues of LIRI rats versus the sham group were identified by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). RNA-seq outcomes revealed that only YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 3 (YTHDF3) and insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) were differentially expressed in the LIRI versus sham group among 20 m6A-related regulators. Next, the functions and molecular mechanisms of YTHDF3 and IGF2BP2 in LIRI were investigated in a hypoxia/reoxygenation-i
