Crosstalk Relationship Histone modification  →  m6A Enhancement
Crosstalk Mechanism histone modification indirectly regulates m6A modification through downstream signaling pathways
Crosstalk Summary LINC01605 was regulated by SMYD2-EP300-mediated modifications of histone Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) as well as H3K27ac. LINC01605 was found to bind to METTL3 and promote the m6A modification of SPTBN2 mRNA, thereby facilitating the translation of SPTBN2. Ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EphA2) and VEGFA targeted by METTL3 via different IGF2BP-dependent mechanisms were found to promote vasculogenic mimicry (VM) formation via PI3K/AKT/mTOR and ERK1/2 signaling in CRC.

In-vivo Model A total of 8 × 106 wild-type (WT) or METTL3-knockdown cells were injected into the dorsal flanks of 6-week-old nude mice. Seven mice were randomly selected to calculate the volume according to the following formula: V = (width2 × length)/2. Mice were euthanized three weeks after injection and tumors removed, weighed, fixed, and embedded for immunohistochemical analysis.
