General Information of the m6A Target Gene (ID: M6ATAR00694)
Target Name Proto-oncogene Wnt-1 (Wnt1)
Synonyms
Proto-oncogene Int-1 homolog
    Click to Show/Hide
Gene Name Wnt1
Chromosomal Location 12q13.12
Family Wnt family
Function
Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors (Probable). Acts in the canonical Wnt signaling pathway by promoting beta-catenin-dependent transcriptional activation . In some developmental processes, is also a ligand for the coreceptor RYK, thus triggering Wnt signaling (By similarity). Plays an essential role in the development of the embryonic brain and central nervous system (CNS) (By similarity). Has a role in osteoblast function, bone development and bone homeostasis.

Methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) [WRITER]
In total 1 item(s) under this regulator
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A Methylation Regulator of This Target Gene [1]
Response Summary Mettl14 resulted in enhanced levels of Proto-oncogene Wnt-1 (Wnt1) m6A modification and Wnt1 protein but not its transcript level. Furthermore, Mettl14 overexpression blocked I/R-induced downregulation of Wnt1 and Bete-catenin proteins, whereas Mettl14 hearts exhibited the opposite results. Mettl14 attenuates cardiac I/R injury by activating Wnt/Bete-catenin in an m6A-dependent manner, providing a novel therapeutic target for ischemic heart disease.
Target Regulation Up regulation
Responsed Disease Ischemic heart disease ICD-11: BA40-BA6Z
Pathway Response Wnt signaling pathway hsa04310
In-vitro Model Neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (Primary myocyte cells)
In-vivo Model C57BL/6 mouse hearts were subjected to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in vivo as described previously (Bock-Marquette et al., 2004; Song et al., 2015; Brocard et al., 2017). I/R injury in mice was induced by 45-min ischemia, followed by 7-day and 4-week reperfusion in a loss-of-function study (Figure 1) and gain-of-function study (Figure 2), respectively. In brief, mice were anesthetized with 2% avertin (0.1 ml/10g body weight; Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, United States) through intraperitoneal injection. To generate I/R injury, the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was ligated with 7-0 nylon for 45 min and then was removed. For the sham group, a suture was passed under the LAD but without ligation. According to the experimental requirements, at different time points of cardiac I/R, the mice were anesthetized for assessing heart function by echocardiographic measurement. All the mice survived during the process of I/R injury after the operation.

Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response [1]
Response Summary Mettl14 resulted in enhanced levels of Proto-oncogene Wnt-1 (Wnt1) m6A modification and Wnt1 protein but not its transcript level. Furthermore, Mettl14 overexpression blocked I/R-induced downregulation of Wnt1 and Bete-catenin proteins, whereas Mettl14 hearts exhibited the opposite results.
