m6A modification KMT2C KMT2C YTHDC1 : m6A sites Direct Enhancement Histone modification H3K4me1 KMT2C BRCA1
m6A Modification:
m6A Regulator YTH domain-containing protein 1 (YTHDC1) READER
m6A Target Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2C (KMT2C)
Epigenetic Regulation that have Cross-talk with This m6A Modification:
Epigenetic Regulation Type Histone modification (HistMod)
Epigenetic Regulator Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2C (KMT2C) WRITER View Details
Regulated Target Histone H3 lysine 4 monomethylation (H3K4me1) View Details

Crosstalk Relationship m6A  →  Histone modification Enhancement
Crosstalk Mechanism m6A modification impacts directly histone modification through modulating the expression level of histone-associated enzymes
Crosstalk Summary YTHDC1 is a therapeutic target for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia by attenuating DNA damage response through the Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2C (KMT2C)-Histone H3 lysine 4 monomethylation (H3K4me1)/H3K4me3 epigenetic axis. BRCA1 is a downstream gene of H3K4me1.
Responsed Disease B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia ICD-11: XH8NN2
In-vitro Model
NALM-6 Adult B acute lymphoblastic leukemia Homo sapiens CVCL_0092
KOPN-8 Childhood B acute lymphoblastic leukemia Homo sapiens CVCL_1866
SUP-B15 B-lymphoblastic leukemia Homo sapiens CVCL_0103
BALL-1 Adult B acute lymphoblastic leukemia Homo sapiens CVCL_1075
In-vivo Model NCG mice were inoculated through the tail vein (day 0) with 0.5 × 106 luciferase-expressing NALM-6 cells, 1 × 106 luciferase-expressing RS4; 11 cells, or 1 × 106 patient-derived B-ALL cells infected with lentivirus expressing shCtrl or shDC1. For EPZ-5676 treatment in vivo, eight-weeks-old female NCG mice were inoculated through the tail vein (day 0) with 0.5 × 106 YTHDC1-overexpressing NALM-6 (DC1highNALM-6) cells or 1 × 106 YTHDC1-overexpressing RS4; 11 (DC1highRS4; 11) cells.
