HDAC2-Mediated Recruitment of METTL3 to Chromatin Regulates Human Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation and its methyltransferase METTL3 are crucial for maintaining pluripotency and regulating stem cell differentiation. In this study, we demonstrate that METTL3 directly interacts with the histone deacetylase HDAC2. Notably, knockout of HDAC2 reduces METTL3 binding to chromatin, leading to a downregulation of m6A modifications on HDAC2 target genes, which were associated with stem cell lineage differentiation. Conversely, deletion of METTL3 does not affect HDAC2 expression or histone acetylation levels. Disrupting the interaction between HDAC2 and METTL3, either by knocking out HDAC2 or METTL3, significantly impairs differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Additionally, we observe a marked decrease in the RNA stability and translation of genes in which m6A levels were downregulated. Mechanistically, HDAC2 recruits METTL3 to regulate the m6A levels of its target genes, and these changes in m6A modification subsequently influence RNA stability and translation, ultimately contributing to hESC differentiation. Our findings identify a novel interactor of METTL3 and elucidate the functional and mechanistic roles of the HDAC2-METTL3 interaction axis in hESCs.

m6A RNA Methylation is Critical for Adequate Exit from Naïve Pluripotency and Execution of Mammalian Development (RNA-Seq)

Project description:In this study we identify Mettl3, an m6A RNA modification writer, as a critical regulator for terminating naïve pluripotency and a positive maintainer of primed pluripotency in vitro and in vivo. Remarkably, Mettl3 knockout pre-implantation epiblasts and naïve ES cells, entirely lack m6A on coding mRNAs and are viable. Yet, they fail to adequately terminate the naïve pluripotent state, and subsequently undergo aberrant priming and early lineage commitment at the post-implantation stage. A comprehensive functional and genomic analysis involving profiling of m6A, RNA transcription and translation in Mettl3 wild-type and knockout pluripotent and differentiated cells, identified m6A as a critical determinant that destabilizes secondary naïve specific pluripotency genes Esrrb, Klf4 and Nanog, and restrains their transcript stability and translation efficiency. In summary, our findings provide for the first time evidence for a critical role for an mRNA epigenetic modification in early mammalian development in vivo, and identify a mechanism that functionally regulates mouse naïve and primed pluripotency in an opposing manner. polyA RNA-seq was measured in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and embroid bodies (EBs), each in WT and in Mettl3-KO cell lines. RNA-seq was measured also from WT mouse embronic fibroblasts (MEF). 3 biological replicates are available from ESCs and 2 from EBs. Replicate C in ESCs was measured alongside protein levels (SILAC) and was used for the analysis of that assay.

METTL3 promotes translation in human cancer cells

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.

Mapping of m6A and Its Regulatory Targets in Prostate Cancer Reveals a METTL3-low Induction of Therapy Resistance

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.

METTL3-dependent m6A RNA Methylation Regulates Transposable Elements and Represses Human Naïve Pluripotency through Transposable Element-derived Enhancers

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent mRNA modification with diverse regulatory roles in mammalian cells. While its functions are well-documented in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), its role in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) remains to be fully explored. METTL3 is the main enzyme responsible for m6A deposition. Here, using a METTL3 inducible knockout (iKO) system, we uncovered that, unlike in mESCs, METTL3 was indispensable for hPSC maintenance. Importantly, loss of METTL3 caused significant upregulation of pluripotency factors including naïve pluripotency genes and failure to exit pluripotency, thus impaired stem cell differentiation towards embryonic and extraembryonic cells including trophoblasts. Mechanistically, METTL3 iKO in hPSCs substantially increased expression and enhancer activities of two primate-specific transposable elements (TEs), SVA_D and HERVK/LTR5_Hs, which are normally modified by METTL3-dependent m6A. METTL3 loss activated SVA_D by lowering H3K9me3 deposition, and increased chromatin accessibility at LTR5_Hs through the naïve and other pluripotency factors. Conversely, we discovered that the activated SVA_D and LTR5_Hs loci positively regulated naïve gene expression by directly interacted with their promoters. These findings thus reveal that METTL3-dependent m6A RNA methylation has critical roles in suppressing TE expression and in the human pluripotency regulatory network.

The RNA N6-methyladenosine regulates chromatin remodeling and transcription [HEC-1-A_seq_RNA_nuclear]

Project description:The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been shown to regulate stability and translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) in various biological processes. Here, we show that the knockout of the m6A writer Mettl3 or a nuclear reader Ythdc1 in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) induces chromatin openness and transcription activation in an m6A-dependent manner. We identified extensive m6A modifications on caRNAs (chromosome-associated RNAs, including promoter-associated RNAs, enhancer RNAs and repeats) that are installed by METTL3. YTHDC1 can bind to a portion of these m6A-modified RNAs and facilitate their decay through the NEXT-mediated nuclear degradation. Therefore, the m6A methylation of these caRNAs reduces their abundances. The knockout of Mettl3 elevates levels of caRNAs and promote open chromatin state and downstream transcription. Collectively, our results reveal that m6A on caRNAs can globally tune chromatin state and transcription.
