Full List of Target Gene(s) of This m6A-centered Disease Response
Heat shock 70 kDa protein 1A (HSPA1A)
In total 1 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [1]
Response Summary loss of Fto also increased susceptibility of osteoblasts to genotoxic damage from metabolic stress induced by exposure to HF is also consistent with this model for FTO action. FTO functions intrinsically in osteoblasts through Heat shock 70 kDa protein 1A (HSPA1A)-NF-Kappa-B signaling to enhance the stability of mRNA of proteins that function to protect cells from genotoxic damage.

Target Regulator Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) ERASER
Target Regulation Up regulation
In-vitro Model 1H8 [Mouse hybridoma against human BMSC] Normal Mus musculus CVCL_A7TU
In-vivo Model FtoKO mice were backcrossed to WT C57BL/6 mice to remove Cre and bred to homozygosity. Results are reported for male mice on the same genetic background (C57BL6/J). For the diet-induced bone loss studies, mice were fed a 60% high-fat diet (D12492, Research Diets) from 6 wk of age to 24 wk. Genotyping strategies are available upon request. NBD (KKKKKKKKGGTALDWSWLQTE) with the Trp to Ala substitutions designed to render the peptide inactive underlined, was a gift from D.C.G. and dissolved in water before use. Next, 10 mg/kg NBD was intraperitoneally injected in 29-wk old FtoOc KO mice every other day for 9 d. One day after the last injection, bone was harvested for analysis of DNA damage.
Parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R)
In total 1 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [2]
Response Summary Knockout of Mettl3 reduces the translation efficiency of MSCs lineage allocator Parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R), and disrupts the PTH-induced osteogenic and adipogenic responses in vivo.
Responsed Disease Osteoporosis [ICD-11: FB83.1]
Target Regulator Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) WRITER
Target Regulation Up regulation
Pathway Response Parathyroid hormone synthesis, secretion and action hsa04928
Cell Process Adipogenesis
In-vivo Model Mettl3fl/+ mice with C57BL6/J background were generated using CRISPR-Cas9 systems.
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG)
In total 1 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [3]
Response Summary Both depletion of FTO and application of the FTO inhibitor FB23 or FB23-2 impaired osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs. Knockdown of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) promoted FTO-induced expression of the osteoblast biomarkers ALPL and OPN during osteogenic differentiation. This study demonstrates the functional significance of the FTO-PPARG axis in promoting the osteogenesis of human MSCs and sheds light on the role of m6A modification in mediating osteoporosis and osteonecrosis.

Target Regulator Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) ERASER
Target Regulation Down regulation
Pathway Response Osteoclast differentiation hsa04380
In-vitro Model hMSCs (Human osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (HUXMA-01001, Cyagen Biosciences, Suzhou, China))
In-vivo Model Conditional knockout of Fto in bone in mice was generated as previously described. Throughout the study, mice were maintained on a 12 h: 12 h light:dark cycle in a specific pathogen-free facility.
Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2)
In total 1 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [4]
Response Summary RNA N6-methyladenosine demethylase FTO promotes osteoporosis through demethylating Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) mRNA and inhibiting osteogenic differentiation.
Responsed Disease Osteoporosis [ICD-11: FB83.1]
Target Regulator Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) ERASER
Target Regulation Down regulation
In-vitro Model BMSCs (BMSCs were obtained from the femurs and tibias of 2-3-week-old Sprague-Dawley male rats (Animal Center of Sun Yat-sen University))
In-vivo Model Female C57BL/6J mice (14 weeks old) were treated with bilateral ovariectomy under general anesthesia. Eight weeks after surgery, tibial plateau was harvested and the structure were evaluated with a SCANCO Medical uCT 40 scanner.
