Target Gene(s) and Their Upstream m6A Regulator, Together with the Effect of Target Gene(s) in Drug Response
The target genes involved in drug-target interaction (such as drug-metabolizing enzymes, drug transporters and therapeutic targets) and drug-mediated cell death signaling (including modulating DNA damage and repair capacity, escaping from drug-induced apoptosis, autophagy, cellular metabolic reprogramming, oncogenic bypass signaling, cell microenvironment, cell stemness, etc.) could be regulated by m6A regulator(s) and affected their corresponding drug response. You can browse detailed information on drug-related target gene(s) mediated by m6A regulators.
Retinoic acid-inducible gene-1 (RIG-1)
Methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14)
In total 1 mechanisms lead to this potential drug response
Response Summary Retinoic acid-inducible gene-1 (RIG-1) is a therapeutic target for MK-4621. The Methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) has potential in affecting the response of MK-4621 through regulating the expression of Retinoic acid-inducible gene-1 (RIG-1). [1], [2]
Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3)
In total 1 mechanisms lead to this potential drug response
Response Summary Retinoic acid-inducible gene-1 (RIG-1) is a therapeutic target for MK-4621. The Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) has potential in affecting the response of MK-4621 through regulating the expression of Retinoic acid-inducible gene-1 (RIG-1). [2], [3]
