Crosstalk Summary KMT2A-mediated Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) regulates the autophagy-GATA4 axis through METTL3-mediated m6A modification of ATG4a to promote NPCs senescence and IVDD progression. METTL3 stabilized Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) mRNA in an IGF2BP1-dependent manner. METTL3 silencing restored specific gut microbiota levels in IDD rats, which was further reversed by administration of Pam3CSK4. These results demonstrate the beneficial effects of METTL3 silencing on NPC senescence and amelioration of IVD injury, involving modulation of TLR2 m6A modification and gut microbiota. These findings support METTL3 silencing as a potential therapeutic target for IDD.
Responsed Disease Intervertebral disc degeneration ICD-11: FA80
In-vivo Model rats were anesthetized with 40 mg/kg sodium pentobarbital. A 21G needle was used to puncture discs 7-8 (Co7-8) from the back through the skin of the tail. The length of the needle was predetermined to ensure a puncture depth of approximately 5 mm. After penetrating the annulus, the needle was rotated 360° and held for 30 seconds to injure the annulus. The sham group underwent the same procedure but without puncture injury to the caudal disc.
