Project description:Post-transcriptional m6A methylation on mRNA plays a key role in neural development. Here, we specifically depleted Mettl14 (a key component of m6A complex) in retina progenitor cells by crossing Mettl14 fl/fl mice with the Chx10-Egfp/Cre mouse line and investigated cell type and transcriptome changes in the developing retinas using scRNA-seq.

Project description:METTL3 and METTL14 are considered to faithfully form the m6A writing complex in a 1:1 ratio, regulating the fate of mRNA by adding m6A modifications. However, recent studies have shown inconsistent expression and prognostic value of METTL3 and METTL14 in some tumors, suggesting that they may not be faithful in tumors. Pan-cancer analysis based on TCGA data reveals significant differences in expression, function, tumor burden correlation, and immune correlation between METTL3 and METTL14, especially in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Knockdown of METTL3 significantly inhibits the cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo in ESCC EC109 cells, while the impact of METTL14 knockdown on proliferation is limited, and it cannot abolish the expression of METTL3 protein. mRNA-seq results indicate that METTL3 independently regulates the expression of 1615 genes, while only 776 genes are co-regulated by METTL3 and METTL14. Furthermore, through immunofluorescence co-localization, it is observed that METTL3 and METTL14 have certain inconsistencies in cellular localization. HPLC-MS results show that METTL3 independently binds to the Nop56p-associated pre-rRNA complex and mRNA splicing complex, separate from METTL14. Through bioinformatics and various omics studies, we have preliminarily discovered that METTL3 independently regulating tumor cell proliferation, and the participation in mRNA splicing may be a critical molecular mechanism. Our study provides an experimental basis and theoretical foundation for further understanding of the m6A writing complex and tumor therapy targeting METTL3.

Project description:Global genome repair (GGR), a subpathway of nucleotide excision repair (NER), corrects bulky helix-distorting DNA lesions across the whole genome, and is essential for preventing mutagenesis and skin cancer. Here we show that METTL14 (methyltransferase-like 14), a critical component of the m6A RNA methyltransferase complex, promotes GGR through regulating m6A mRNA methylation-mediated DDB2 translation and suppresses UV-induced skin tumorigenesis. Ultraviolet B irradiation (UVB) down-regulates METTL14 protein through NBR1-dependent selective autophagy. METTL14 knockdown decreases GGR and DDB2 abundance. Conversely, overexpression of wild-type METTL14, but not its enzymatically inactive mutant, increases GGR and DDB2 abundance. METTL14 knockdown decreases m6A methylation and translation of the DDB2 transcripts. Adding DDB2 reverses the GGR repair defect in METTL14 knockdown cells, indicating that METTL14 facilitates GGR through regulating DDB2 m6A methylation and translation. Similarly, knockdown of YTHDF1, an m6A reader promoting translation of m6A modified transcripts, decreased DDB2 protein levels. Both METTL14 and YTHDF1 bind to the DDB2 transcript. In mice, skin-specific heterozygous METTL14 deletion increases UV-induced skin tumorigenesis. Furthermore, METTL14 as well as DDB2 is down-regulated in human and mouse skin tumors and by chronic UV irradiation in mouse skin, and METTL14 level is associated with the DDB2 level, suggesting a tumor-suppressive role of METTL14 in UV-associated skin tumorigenesis in association with DDB2 regulation. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that METTL14 is a target for selective autophagy and acts as a critical epitranscriptomic mechanism to regulate GGR and suppresses UVB-induced skin tumorigenesis.

Project description:RNA methylation is involved in the regulation of cell response and cell fate, and is closely related to the development of tumors. METTL14 is considered to be a m6A methyltransferase. Studies have found that METTL14 is associated with the occurrence and development of a variety of tumors, but the mechanism in neuroblastoma is not clear. The expression of METTL14 in high risk patients was significantly higher than that in low risk patients. Interference with METTL14 expression in SK-N-BE(2) cells significantly interfered with cell cycle and inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In neuroblastoma, METTL14 activates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by targeting YWHAH by upregulating m6A levels in mRNA transcripts. In all findings, it was suggested that METTL14 has a cancer-promoting function in neuroblastoma.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal mRNA modification in eukaryotes and is related to stability, localization, or translation efficiency in tumorigenesis. Autophagy plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumours. However, the relationship between m6A and autophagy remains unclear. In this study, we used a rapamycin-induced autophagy model of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells, and observed increased m6A RNA methylation. When autophagy was activated, the methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) expression was upregulated and influenced the proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of OSCC cells. Through meRIP-seq and RNA-seq analysis, we found that METTL14 directly combined with eukaryotic translation initiation factor gamma 1 (eIF4G1) mRNA and decreased its RNA stability. According to the dual-luciferase reporter and mutagenesis assay, the mutated site 1 of exon 11 of eIF4G1 is the key target of METTL14. Knockdown of the main m6A binding protein YTHDF2 may rescue the shortened half-life of eIF4G1 mRNA induced by METTL14 overexpression. Furthermore, an in vivo tumour xenograft model confirmed that a high METTL14 expression can effectively reduce OSCC growth. Additionally, using clinical samples, we found that patients with advanced or moderately/poorly differentiated tumours exhibited lower METTL14 levels. Taken together, our results revealed that METTL14 mediated eIF4G1 expression via m6A modification and regulated autophagy levels and biological functions in OSCC. Our findings not only expand our understanding of the correlation between autophagy and RNA methylation in tumorigenesis but also present an opportunity to develop new therapeutic options.

Project description:Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) and 14 (METTL14) are core subunits of the methyltransferase complex (MTC) that catalyzes mRNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. Despite the expanding list of m6A-dependent function of the MTC, m6A independent function of the METTL3 and METTL14 complex remains poorly understood. Here we show that genome-wide redistribution of METTL3 and METTL14 drives senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in a m6A-independent manner. METTL3 and METTL14 are necessary for SASP. However, SASP is not regulated by m6A mRNA modification. METTL14 is redistributed to the enhancers, while METTL3 is localized to the pre-existing NF-B sites within the promoters of the SASP genes during senescence. METTL3 interacts with NF-B and they are mutually dependent on their associations with the promoters of SASP genes. METTL14 but not METTL3 is necessary for function of SASP gene enhancers. METTL3 and METTL14 are required for both the tumor-promoting and immune surveillance functions of senescent cells mediated by SASP in vivo in mouse models. In summary, our results report a m6A independent function of the METTL3 and METTL14 complex in promoting SASP through regulating transcription by genome-wide redistribution of METTL14 to enhancers and METTL3 to promoters of SASP genes during senescence.

Project description:We investigated the mechanism by which the m6A methyltransferase METTL14 functions in neuroblastoma. To explore the downstream target genes of METTL14, we performed RNA-seq analysis and found that the expression profile of the gene was significantly altered in METTL14 knockdown SK-N-BE(2) cells. We found that overexpression of METTL14 in neuroblastoma patients was a detrimental factor.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulates mRNA metabolism and translation, serving as an important source of post-transcriptional regulation. To date, the functional consequences of m6A deficiency within the adult brain have not been determined. To achieve m6A deficiency, we deleted Mettl14, an essential component of the m6A methyltransferase complex, in two related yet discrete mouse neuronal populations: striatonigral and striatopallidal. Mettl14 deletion reduced striatal m6A levels without altering cell numbers or morphology. Transcriptome-wide profiling of m6A-modified mRNAs in Mettl14-deleted striatum revealed downregulation of similar striatal mRNAs encoding neuron- and synapse-specific proteins in both neuronal types, but striatonigral and striatopallidal identity genes were uniquely downregulated in each respective manipulation. Upregulated mRNA species encoded non-neuron-specific proteins. These changes increased neuronal excitability, reduced spike frequency adaptation and profoundly impaired striatal-mediated behaviors. Using viral-mediated, neuron-specific striatal Mettl14 deletion in adult mice, we further confirmed the significance of m6A in maintaining normal striatal function in the adult mouse.
