Abstract:

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification in mammalianmRNAs and methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) is a vital methyltransferase in m6Amodification. Here, this study tries to discover the regulatory role of METTL3 andits mechanism in the breast cancer tumorigenesis. Results found that METTL3 wasup-regulated in the breast cancer tissue and cells. In vivo and vitro, METTL3knockdown could decrease the methylation level, reduce the proliferation, acceleratethe apoptosis and inhibited the tumor growth. Moreover, we found that Bcl-2 acted asthe target of METTL3, thereby regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of breastcancer. This study could reveal the potential mechanism of m6A modification in thebreast cancer tumorigenesis, providing potential drug targets in the treatment.CI - Copyright © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
