Full List of m6A Targets Related to This Drug
Adenylate kinase 4, mitochondrial (AK4)
In total 1 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Drug Response by This Target Gene [2]
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 total 1 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Drug Response by This Target Gene [3]
Response Summary In breast cancer, modest stable overexpression of A2B1 in MCF-7 cells (MCF-7-A2B1 cells) resulted in tamoxifen and fulvestrant - resistance whereas knockdown of A2B1 in LCC9 and LY2 cells restored tamoxifen and fulvestrant, endocrine-sensitivity. MCF-7-A2B1 cells have increased ER-alpha and reduced miR-222-3p that targets ER-alpha. MCF-7-A2B1 have activated AKT and Mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK/ERK2/MAPK1) that depend on A2B1 expression and are growth inhibited by inhibitors of these pathways.

Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Drug Response by This Target Gene [4]
Response Summary LCAT3 upregulation is attributable to m6A modification mediated by METTL3, leading to LCAT3 stabilization. Treated cells with tamoxifen to induce MYC activity. Highlights the therapeutic potential of RBPs by uncovering a critical role for YTHDF2 in counteracting the global increase of mRNA synthesis in Myc proto-oncogene protein (MYC)-driven breast cancers.
