In-vivo Model Nude mice (4-6 week-old) were administered sterile water and feed in a specific pathogen-free barrier. Using a 1-mL syringe, 1 × 107 HEPG2 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the right axilla of nude mice to build the HCC xenograft model. When the tumor volume reached 50 mm3, the nude mice were randomly divided into 1 control (n = 4) and 3 treatment groups (n = 4 each). RG7112, apatinib, and RG7112 + apatinib were administered to the treatment groups and an equal volume of dimethyl sulfoxide to the control group by daily gavage for 14 d. The tumor length (L) and width (W) were measured on alternate days using vernier calipers. The following formula was used to calculate the tumor volume: volume (mm3) = 0.5 × L × W × W. At the end of the experiment, the nude mice were killed by CO2 overdose anesthesia. The tumors were dissected and weighed using a precision balance, and the tumor tissue was stored in liquid nitrogen for further analysis.

Response Summary In contrast to the mRNA-decay-promoting function of YTH domain-containing family protein 2, IGF2BPs promote the stability and storage of their target mRNAs (for example, MYC) in an m6A-dependent manner under normal and stress conditions and therefore affect gene expression output. Four representative high confidence targets, including MYC, Fascin (FSCN1), TK1, and MARCKSL1, exhibit strong binding with IGF2BPs around their m6A motifs in control cells. Knocking down of each individual IGF2BPs in Hela (cervical cancer) and HepG2 (liver cancer) cells significantly repressed MYC expression.

Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [20]
Response Summary METTL3 and Forkhead box protein O3 (FOXO3) levels are tightly correlated in hepatocellular carcinoma patients. In mouse xenograft models, METTL3 depletion significantly enhances sorafenib resistance of HCC by abolishing the identified METTL3-mediated FOXO3 mRNA stabilization, and overexpression of FOXO3 restores m6 A-dependent sorafenib sensitivity.

Response Summary In contrast to the mRNA-decay-promoting function of YTH domain-containing family protein 2, IGF2BPs promote the stability and storage of their target mRNAs (for example, MYC) in an m6A-dependent manner under normal and stress conditions and therefore affect gene expression output. Four representative high confidence targets, including MYC, FSCN1, Thymidine kinase, cytosolic (TK1), and MARCKSL1, exhibit strong binding with IGF2BPs around their m6A motifs in control cells. Knocking down of each individual IGF2BPs in Hela (cervical cancer) and HepG2 (liver cancer) cells significantly repressed MYC expression.
