Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [1]
Response Summary Adenylate kinase 4 modulates the resistance of breast cancer cells to tamoxifen through an m6A-based epitranscriptomic mechanism. Genetic depletion of METTL3 in TamR MCF-7 cells led to a diminished Adenylate kinase 4, mitochondrial (AK4) protein level and attenuated resistance to tamoxifen.

In-vivo Model Mice were maintained at 22 ± 2 ℃ with a humidity of 35 ± 5% under a 12 h light and 12 h dark cycle, with free access to water and food. For the HFD experiment, female control (Ftoflox/flox) and adipose-selective fto knockout (Fabp4-Cre Ftoflox/flox, fto-AKO) mice were fed with high-fat diet (60% fat in calories; Research Diets, D12492) for the desired periods of time, and food intake and body weight were measured every week after weaning (at 3 weeks of age).
Experiment 2 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [6]
Response Summary Studies of the aberrant expression of m6A mediators in breast cancer revealed that they were associated with different BC subtypes and functions, such as proliferation, apoptosis, stemness, the cell cycle, migration, and metastasis, through several factors and signaling pathways, such as Apoptosis regulator Bcl-2 (BCL2) and the PI3K/Akt pathway, among others. Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) was identified as the first m6A demethylase, and a series of inhibitors that target FTO were reported to have potential for the treatment of BC by inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis.

Response Summary m6A-hypomethylation regulated FGFR4 phosphorylates GSK-3beta and activates Catenin beta-1 (CTNNB1/Beta-catenin)/TCF4-SLC7A11/FPN1 signaling to drive anti-HER2 resistance. Knockdown of METTL14 significantly increased the expression level of FGFR4 in HER2-positive breast cancer cells. FGFR4 reduced the sensitivity of HER2-positive breast cancer to trastuzumab plus pertuzumab or tucatinib. These results pinpoint a mechanism of anti-HER2 resistance and provide a strategy for overcoming resistance via FGFR4 inhibition in recalcitrant HER2-positive breast cancer.

In-vivo Model Luciferase-labeled rSKBR3 and MDA-MB-361 cells (1 × 107 cells) mixed with 1:1 Matrigel (Corning, 356237) were subcutaneously injected into the fat pads of mice. After a tumor was palpable, the mice were randomized into four groups (five mice per group), and they were treated with vehicle, trastuzumab (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneal administration), roblitinib (30 mg/kg, oral administration), or a combination of both drugs.
Experiment 3 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [11]
Response Summary m6A-hypomethylation regulated FGFR4 phosphorylates GSK-3beta and activates beta-catenin/TCF4-Cystine/glutamate transporter (SLC7A11)/FPN1 signaling to drive anti-HER2 resistance. Knockdown of METTL14 significantly increased the expression level of FGFR4 in HER2-positive breast cancer cells. FGFR4 reduced the sensitivity of HER2-positive breast cancer to trastuzumab plus pertuzumab or tucatinib. These results pinpoint a mechanism of anti-HER2 resistance and provide a strategy for overcoming resistance via FGFR4 inhibition in recalcitrant HER2-positive breast cancer.

Response Summary Knockdown of METTL3 sensitized these breast cancer cells to Adriamycin (ADR; also named as doxorubicin) treatment and increased accumulation of DNA damage. Mechanically, we demonstrated that inhibition of METTL3 impaired HR efficiency and increased ADR-induced DNA damage by regulating m6A modification of EGF/RAD51 axis. METTL3 promoted EGF expression through m6A modification, which further upregulated DNA repair protein RAD51 homolog 1 (RAD51) expression, resulting in enhanced HR activity.

EMP3 downregulates YTHDC1, which at least in part mediates the effects of EMP3 on breast cancer cells. EMP3 sensitizes breast cancer cells to the DNA-damaging drug Adriamycin. EMP3 downregulation can be responsible for breast cancer chemoresistance.

In-vivo Model Eighteen BALB/C female nude mice aged 4-5 weeks and weighing 15-18 g were randomly assigned into three groups of six mice. The MCF-7 cell lines stably transfected with sh-NC + oe-NC, sh-METTL3 + oe-NC and sh-METTL3 + oe-HMGA2 were selected for subcutaneous establishment of the BC cell line MCF-7 as xenografts in the nude mice. For this purpose, MCF-7 cell lines in the logarithmic growth stage were prepared into a suspension with a concentration of about 1 × 107 cells/ml. The prepared cell suspension was injected into the left armpit of the mice, and the subsequent tumor growth was recorded.

Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [18]
Response Summary Knockdown of METTL3 sensitized these breast cancer cells to Adriamycin (ADR; also named as doxorubicin) treatment and increased accumulation of DNA damage. Mechanically, we demonstrated that inhibition of METTL3 impaired HR efficiency and increased ADR-induced DNA damage by regulating m6A modification of Pro-epidermal growth factor (EGF)/RAD51 axis. METTL3 promoted EGF expression through m6A modification, which further upregulated RAD51 expression, resulting in enhanced HR activity.

Response Summary KIAA1429 could significantly promote the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. KIAA1429 could bind to the motif in the 3' UTR of SMC protein 1A (SMC1A) mRNA directly and enhance SMC1A mRNA stability. In conclusion, the study revealed a novel mechanism of the KIAA1429/SMC1A/SNAIL axis in the regulation of metastasis of breast cancer.

Response Summary m6A-hypomethylation regulated FGFR4 phosphorylates GSK-3beta and activates beta-catenin/TCF4-SLC7A11/Solute carrier family 40 member 1 (FPN1) signaling to drive anti-HER2 resistance. Knockdown of METTL14 significantly increased the expression level of FGFR4 in HER2-positive breast cancer cells. FGFR4 reduced the sensitivity of HER2-positive breast cancer to trastuzumab plus pertuzumab or tucatinib. These results pinpoint a mechanism of anti-HER2 resistance and provide a strategy for overcoming resistance via FGFR4 inhibition in recalcitrant HER2-positive breast cancer.

Response Summary METTL3 promotes adriamycin resistance in MCF-7 breast cancer cells by accelerating hsa-miR-221-3p maturation in a m6A-dependent manner. METTL3 knockdown was shown to reduce the expression of miR-221-3p by reducing pri-miR-221-3p m6A mRNA methylation, reducing the expression of MDR1 and BCRP, and inducing apoptosis. Identified the METTL3/miR-221-3p/HIPK2/Che-1 axis as a novel signaling event that will be responsible for resistance of BC cells to ADR.
