m6A Modification:
m6A Regulator Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) WRITER
m6A Target Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 2 (NR4A2)
Epigenetic Regulation that have Cross-talk with This m6A Modification:
Epigenetic Regulation Type Histone modification (HistMod)
Regulated Target Histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la) View Details
Downstream Gene AP001885.4 View Details
Crosstalk Relationship Histone modification  →  m6A Enhancement
Crosstalk Mechanism Histone modification indirectly regulates m6A modification through downstream signaling pathways
Crosstalk Summary AP001885.4 was overexpressed in ESCC cells because of a higher Histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la) level in the promoter and amplification, then enhanced histone lactylation- and NF-kappaB (p65)-dependent transcription activation and METTL3-mediated mRNA stability of c-myc eventually upregulated c-myc and promoted cell proliferation ESCC cells readily harness exogenous methionine to generate S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM), thus promoting cell proliferation. Mechanistically, methionine augments METTL3-mediated RNA m6A methylation through SAM and revises gene expression. Integrative omics analysis highlights the potent influence of methionine/SAM on Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 2 (NR4A2) expression in a tumor-specific manner, mediated by the IGF2BP2-dependent stabilization of methylated NR4A2 mRNA. We demonstrate that NR4A2 facilitates ESCC growth and negatively impacts patient survival.
