N6-methyladenosine mRNA Modification Is Essential for Human Pancreatic Lineage Specification [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Recent advances in pancreatic differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) hold great potentials for disease modeling and regenerative medicine, and more precise control over the dynamic differentiation process is critical. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal messenger RNA (mRNA) modification, while the roles of m6A mark in pancreatic differentiation and development remain elusive. In addition, ALKBH5 is a major mRNA m6A demethylase and its role in pancreatic differentiation has not been reported. Here, we firstly studied mRNA m6A dynamics during pancreatic differentiation from hPSCs. Next, using the CRISPR-based genome editing tool, we generated ALKBH5 knockout hPSC lines and found that ALKBH5 plays important roles in pancreatic specification. After that, we conducted a series of functional and mechanistic studies, and demonstrated that ALKBH5 modulated many important genes involved in pancreatic differentiation. Collectively, our findings identified ALKBH5 as an essential regulator of human pancreatic differentiation and highlighted that m6A modification presents a new layer of regulation at epitranscriptome levels during cell-fate specification.

ALKBH5 is a New Mammalian RNA Demethylase

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in higher eukaryotes. Here we report ALKBH5 as a new mammalian demethylase that oxidatively removes the m6A modification in mRNA in vitro and inside cells. This demethylation activity of ALKBH5 significantly affects mRNA export and RNA metabolism as well as the assembly of mRNA processing factors in nuclear speckles. Alkbh5-deficient male mice are characterized by impaired fertility resulting from apoptosis that affects meiotic metaphase-stage spermatocytes. In accordance with this defect, we have identified in mouse testes 1552 differentially expressed genes which cover broad functional categories and include spermatogenesis-related mRNAs involved in the p53 functional interaction network. We show that Alkbh5-deficiency impacts the expression levels of some of these mRNAs, supporting the observed phenotype. The discovery of this new RNA demethylase strongly suggests that the reversible m6A modification plays fundamental and broad functions in mammalian cells. RNA-seq in two cell types

Arabidopsis Messenger RNA N6-methyladenosine Demethylation Regulates Plant Development

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in the messenger RNA (mRNA) of all higher eukaryotes. This modification has been shown to be reversible in mammals; it is installed by a methyltransferase heterodimer complex of METTL3 and METTL14 bound with WTAP, and reversed by iron(II)- and Î±-ketoglutarate-dependent demethylases FTO and ALKBH5. This modification exhibits significant functional roles in various biological processes. The m6A modification as a RNA mark is recognized by reader proteins, such as YTH domain family proteins and HNRNPA2B1; m6A can also act as a structure switch to affect RNA-protein interactions for biological regulation. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the methyltransferase subunit MTA (the plant orthologue of human METTL3, encoded by At4g10760) was well characterized and FIP37 (the plant orthologue of human WTAP) was first identified as the interacting partner of MTA. Here we report the discovery and characterization of reversible m6A methylation mediated by AtALKBH10B (encoded by At4g02940) in A. thaliana, and noticeable roles of this RNA demethylase in affecting plant development and floral transition. Our findings reveal potential broad functions of reversible mRNA methylation in plants. m6A peaks were identified from wild type Columbia-0 and atalkbh10b-1 mutant in two biological replicates

m6A methylation regulates hypoxia-induced pancreatic cancer glycolytic metabolism through ALKBH5-HDAC4-HIF1α positive feedback loop

Project description:To study the effects of hypoxia-related m6A modification which were mediated by ALKBH5 in pancreatic cancer, we established the ALKBH5 knockdown cell lines in PANC-1 cells. And then, the ALKBH5 knockdown cell lines were cultured under hypoxia for 48 h.

The interacted proteins of ALKBH5 and FTO identified by IP-mass

Project description:Since m6A demethylases (FTO and ALKBH5) have been reported to be involved in pre-mRNA splicing regulation, we hypothesized that dynamic m6A distribution during mRNA maturation might involve removal of m6A in internal exons by FTO or ALKBH5 accompanied by splicing factors. To explore this we performed pull-down assays coupled with protein mass spectrometry.

CFL1-induced super enhancer RNA m6A modification promotes local chromatin accessibility and oncogenes transcription in pancreatic cancer [CUT&Tag]

Project description:Herein, we describe the landscape of m6A on super enhancer RNAs (seRNAs) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and demonstrate a regulatory axis involving m6A-seRNAs, H3K4me3 modification, chromatin accessibility and oncogenic transcription. our study has revealed the CFL1-YTHDC2-MLL1 epigenetic regulatory axis plays critical roles of dynamic m6A deposition in seRNAs and local chromatin state, which may be a novel oncogenic mechanism in PDAC and shed light on the crosstalk between epitranscriptome and epigenome.
