Project description:we find METTL3 associates with polyribosomes and promotes translation. METTL3 depletion inhibits translation, and both wild-type and catalytically inactive METTL3 promote translation when tethered to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of a reporter mRNA. Mechanistically, METTL3 enhances mRNA translation through an interaction with the translation initiation machinery. m6A seq in A549 and H1299 cells, RNA seq in METTL3 knockdown cells

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation of mRNA by the methyltransferase complex (MTC), with core components including METTL3-METTL14 heterodimers and Wilms’ tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP), contributes to breast tumorigenesis, but the mechanism of MTC assembly remains elusive. Here, we identify a novel cleaved form METTL3a (residues 239-580 of METTL3), that is highly expressed in breast cancer. Furthermore, we find that both METTL3a and full-length METTL3 are required for MTC assembly, RNA m6A deposition, as well as cancer cell proliferation. Mechanistically, we find that METTL3a is required for METTL3-METTL3 interaction, which is a prerequisite step for recruitment of WTAP in MTC assembly. Analysis of m6A sequencing data shows that depletion of METTL3a globally disrupts m6A methylation, and METTL3a mediates mTOR activation via m6A-mediated suppression of TMEM127 expression. Consequently, we find that METTL3 cleavage is mediated by proteasome in an mTOR-dependent manner, revealing positive regulatory feedback between METTL3a and mTOR signaling. Our findings reveal METTL3a as an important component for MTC assembly, and suggest the METTL3a-mTOR axis as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.

Project description:mRNA m6A modification is involved in regulation of immune system. However, its function in antiviral immunity is controversial, and how immune responses regulate m6A modification is unknown. We here found TBK1, a key kinase of antiviral pathways, phosphorylated the core m6A methyltransferase METTL3 at Serine 67. The phosphorylated METTL3 interacted with translational complex and enhanced proteins translation, including IRF3, and facilitated antiviral responses. TBK1 also promoted METTL3 activation and m6A modification, which is required for stabilizing IRF3 mRNA. Type I IFN induction was severely impaired in METTL3 deficient cells. Mettl3flfl-lyz2-Cre mice were significantly more susceptible to IAV-induced lethality than control mice. Consistently, Ythdf1—/— mice cannot control viral infection and showed higher mortality than control mice due to decreased IRF3 expression. Together, we demonstrated that innate signals activated METTL3 via TBK1, and METTL3 and m6A modification secured antiviral immunity by promoting mRNA stability and protein translation.

Project description:Genomic and transcriptomic alterations are insufficient to explain the variance in protein expression seen in cancer. Recent evidence has highlighted the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in the regulation of mRNA expression, stability and translation, supporting a potential role for post-transcriptional regulation mediated by m6A in cancer. Here we explore prostate cancer as an exemplar cancer and generate the first prostate m6A maps, and further examined how low levels of N6-adenosine-methyltransferase (METTL3) associates with advanced prostate cancer and results in altered expression at the level of transcription, translation, and protein. In particular extracellular matrix proteins have a high number of m6A sites and show significant changes in expression with METTL3 knock-down. We also discovered the upregulation of a hepatocyte nuclear factor-driven gene signature that is associated with therapy resistance in prostate cancer. Significantly, METTL3 knock-down rendered the cells resistant to androgen receptor antagonists, implicating changes in m6A as a mechanism for therapy resistance in metastatic prostate cancer.

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.
