Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [1]
Response Summary FTO regulates pathological ocular angiogenesis by controlling endothelial cell function in an m6A-YTHDF2-dependent manner. Pathological ocular angiogenesis commonly results in visual impairment or even blindness.
Responsed Disease Vision impairment [ICD-11: 9D90]
Target Regulator Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) ERASER
In-vitro Model HUVEC-C Normal Homo sapiens CVCL_2959
In-vivo Model After general anesthesia with an intraperitoneal injection of ketamine (80 mg/kg) and xylazine (4 mg/kg), topical application of 0.5% proparacaine ophthalmic solution was conducted. Three sutures (10-0 nylon) were placed intrastromally between the limbus and corneal center at the 4, 8, and 12 o'clock positions. Topical norfloxacin was applied after surgery.
