Crosstalk Relationship Histone modification  →  m6A Enhancement
Crosstalk Mechanism histone modification directly impacts m6A modification through modulating the level of m6A regulator
Crosstalk Summary The transcription factor ETS1 recruited P300 and WDR5 which separately mediated H3K27ac and Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) histone modification in the promoter of METTL3 and induced METTL3 transcription activation. Furthermore, we identified TXNDC5 as a target of METTL3-mediated m6A modification through MeRIP-seq, and revealed that METTL3-mediated TXNDC5 expression relied on the m6A reader-dependent manner. The METTL3-Serine/threonine-protein kinase Nek2 (NEK2) axis promoted CC progression by activating the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway and inhibiting the apoptosis pathway. In conclusion, METTL3 facilitated the malignant progression of CC and contributed to the formation of the METTL3-NEK2 regulatory axis in an m6A-dependent manner, which represented a potential target for CC therapy.
