In total 2 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [6]
Response Summary About 70% of endometrial tumours exhibit reductions in m6A methylation that are probably due to either this METTL14 mutation or reduced expression of METTL3. Reductions in m6A methylation lead to decreased expression of the negative AKT regulator PHLPP2 and increased expression of the positive AKT regulator Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2). these results reveal reduced m6A mRNA methylation as an oncogenic mechanism in endometrial cancer and identify m6A methylation as a regulator of AKT signalling.

Retrotransposon-derived protein PEG10 (PEG10)

Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [7]
Response Summary IGF2BP1 expression increased in EC, and high expression of this protein correlated with poor prognosis. IGF2BP1 can recognize m6A sites in the 3'UTR of PEG10 mRNA and recruits PABPC1 to enhance Retrotransposon-derived protein PEG10 (PEG10) mRNA stability, which consequently promotes PEG10 protein expression.

In-vivo Model A method of randomisation was used to determine the experimental groups. In total, 78 female BALB/c nu/nu mice (4-6-week-old) were selected at random and were divided into different groups. A total of 5 × 106 ISK cells or 1 × 104 ECSCisk were suspended in 100 uL of PBS and then were injected into the mice. After 2 weeks, the presence of tumours was examined. ISK cells (5 × 106, 5 × 105, 5 × 104, 1 × 104, or 1 × 103) and ECSCisk (1 × 104, 1 × 103, 1 × 102, 10, or 1) were injected and analysed for their abilities to form xenograft tumours. After 4 weeks, subsequent experiments were performed.
