Crosstalk Relationship m6A  →  Histone modification Enhancement
Crosstalk Mechanism m6A modification impacts directly histone modification through modulating the expression level of histone-associated enzymes
Crosstalk Summary Demethylase ALKBH5 was found to reduce m6A methylation levels on Histone acetyltransferase KAT2A (KAT2A) mRNA, leading to its upregulation. YTHDF2 played a crucial role as an m6A reader protein mediating the degradation of Kat2a mRNA. Furthermore, Kat2a promoted ferroptosis by increasing Tfrc and HMOX1 expression via enhancing the enrichment of H3K27ac and Histone H3 lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9ac) on their promoter regions. In conclusion, our findings unveil a novel role for the Kat2a-ferroptosis axis in DCM pathogenesis, providing valuable insights for potential clinical interventions.
Responsed Disease Diabetic cardiomyopathy ICD-11: BC43.7
Pathway Response Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Ferroptosis
In-vitro Model
NMVMs (Primary neonatal mouse ventricular myocytes)
In-vivo Model For cardiomyocyte-specific Kat2a knockdown in vivo, a total of 100 μl (5.0 × 1013 VG/ml) adeno-associated virus 9 (AAV9) carrying shRNA against Kat2a (AAV-shKat2a) was randomly applied per mouse via tail vein injection. AAV9 carrying scramble shRNA (AAV-shNC) was used as control. Cardiac function was assessed four weeks following the AAV injection, and the heart tissues were then isolated.
