N6-methyladenosine-related single-nucleotide polymorphism analyses identify oncogene RNFT2 in bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in N6-methyladenosine (m6A) related genetic locus play significant roles in tumorigenesis and development. The expression level of many oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes changed because of m6A-associated SNPs. In addition, the relationship between m6A-SNP and bladder cancer (BCa) has not been well studied.

Methods

We screened m6A-SNPs in BCa by combining m6A-SNPs data and GWAS-SNPs data. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and differential expression gene (DEGs) analyses were performed. In ring finger protein, transmembrane 2 (RNFT2), rs3088107 (C  > G) was found to have significant eQTL signals and make RNFT2 gene differentially-regulated mostly in BCa. We validated the expression level of RNFT2 in 32 pairs of BCa
