Crosstalk Relationship Histone modification  →  m6A Enhancement
Crosstalk Mechanism histone modification directly impacts m6A modification through modulating the level of m6A regulator
Crosstalk Summary Here, we show histone lactylation is elevated in tumors and is associated with poor prognosis of ocular melanoma. Target correction of aberrant histone lactylation triggers therapeutic efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, LDHA/LDHB-mediated Histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la) contributes to tumorigenesis by facilitating YTHDF2 expression. Moreover, YTHDF2 recognizes the m6A modified Period circadian protein homolog 1 (PER1) and TP53 mRNAs and promotes their degradation, which accelerates tumorigenesis of ocular melanoma.

In-vivo Model Briefly, nude mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of a ketamine (final concentration: 10 mg/mL) and xylazine (final concentration: 1 mg/mL) mixture (0.01 mL/g mouse weight). Then, the mouse sclera was pre-perforated using a sharp 30-gauge injection needle. Ocular melanoma cells (5 × 105) were injected through the hole made in the choroid by a 33-gauge blunt-end microinjection needle (7803-05, Hamilton, Reno, NV, USA). Then, the infected eyes were treated with ophthalmic bacitracin ointment. All animal experiments were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.
