m6A-centered Disease Response Information

General Information of the Disease (ID: M6ADIS0028)
Name
Thymoma
ICD
ICD-11: 2C27
Full List of Target Gene(s) of This m6A-centered Disease Response
Metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1)
 Target Info 
In total 2 item(s) under this target gene
Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [1]
Response Summary This study highlighted METTL3 as a tumor promoter in Thymic tumors and c-MYC as a promising target to be exploited for the treatment of TET. High expression of c-MYC protein is enabled by lncRNA Metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), which is methylated and delocalized by METTL3. Silencing of METTL3 combined with cisplatin or c-MYC inhibitor induces cell death in TET cells. Blocking of c-MYC by using JQ1 inhibitor cooperates with METTL3 depletion in the inhibition of proliferation and induction of cell death.
Responsed Disease Thymic epithelial tumors [ICD-11: 2C27.Y]
