Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A Methylation Regulator of This Target Gene [1]
Response Summary Subsequent loss- and gain-of-function experiments reveal WTAP is increased in senescent nucleus pulposus cells, and significantly promotes Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 657 (NORAD) m6A modification. This study shows interruption of NORAD m6A modification or the NORAD/PUMILIO/E2F3 axis could serve as a potential therapeutic target to inhibit the senescence of NPCs and development of intervertebral disc degeneration(IVDD).
Responsed Disease Intervertebral disc degeneration ICD-11: FA80
Pathway Response Cellular senescence hsa04218
Cell Process Cell senescence
In-vitro Model Nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) (Nucleus pulposus cells)
In-vivo Model After 50g male NORAD-KO or C57 mice at age of 8 weeks were anesthetized with 3% (w/v) pentobarbital (2 ml/kg) and grouped randomly, investigators blinded to the group allocation performed the experiment. The disc levels in rat tail (Co6/7, 7/8, and 8/9) were located by palpation on the coccygeal vertebrae and confirmed by trial radiography. Needles (33-G) were used to puncture the annulus fibrosus layer though the tail skin, in parallel to the end plates. To ensure that the needle did not penetrate too deeply , the length of the needle was pre-determined according to the dimensions of annulus fibrosus and the NP , which were measured in a preliminary experiment and found to be approximately 4 mm. Five kinds of solution were prepared for intradisc injection, including AA V vector, AAV containing shPUM1, AAV containing shPUM2 for Norad KO mice, AAV vector, AAV containing shE2F3, AAVcontaining OE-E2F3 for WT mice.
