Epigenetic Regulation that have Cross-talk with This m6A Modification:
Epigenetic Regulation Type Histone modification (HistMod)
Epigenetic Regulator Lysine-specific demethylase 5C (KDM5C) ERASER View Details
Regulated Target Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) View Details

Crosstalk Relationship Histone modification  →  m6A Inhibition
Crosstalk Mechanism histone modification directly impacts m6A modification through modulating the level of m6A regulator
Crosstalk Summary Both the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that METTL14 was an independent prognostic factor in CRC. Moreover, KDM5C-mediated demethylation of Histone H3 lysine 36 trimethylation (H3K36me3) in the promoter of METTL14 inhibited METTL14 transcription. In colorectal cancer, Mettl3- or METTL14-deficient tumors increased cytotoxic tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells and elevated secretion of Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), Cxcl9, and Cxcl10 in tumor microenvironment in vivo. Mechanistically, Mettl3 or METTL14 loss promoted IFN-gamma-Stat1-Irf1 signaling through stabilizing the Stat1 and Irf1 mRNA via Ythdf2.

In-vivo Model All animal experiments were approved by the animal care Committee of Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medial University (acceptance No. SYXK 20160006). 2 × 106 transfected HCT116 cells in 0.2 ml PBS were injected into the tail vein of nude mice which were randomly divided into nine groups (eight mice per group). After 2 months of injection, mice were sacrificed, and their lungs were removed and stained by Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) Staining.
