Double-strand break repair protein MRE11 (MRE11)
In total 1 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [2]
Response Summary VIRMA has an oncogenic role in germ cell tumor confirming our previous tissue-based study and is further involved in response to cisplatin by interfering with DNA repair. Enhanced response to cisplatin after VIRMA knockdown was related to significant increase in DNA damage (with higher Gamma-H2AX and GADD45B levels) and downregulation of XLF and Double-strand break repair protein MRE11 (MRE11).

Transcription factor AP-2 gamma (TFAP2C)
In total 2 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [3]
Response Summary METTL3 potentiates resistance to cisplatin through m6A modification of Transcription factor AP-2 gamma (TFAP2C) in seminoma. Enhanced stability of TFAP2C mRNA promoted seminoma cell survival under cisplatin treatment burden probably through up-regulation of DNA repair-related genes. IGF2BP1 binds to TFAP2C and enhances TFAP2C mRNA stability.
