In-vivo Model METTL3 knockout or control CT26 and MC38 cells were injected subcutaneously into the dorsal flank of each 4- to 6-week-old male immunocompetent BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice, respectively. Anti-Gr-1 (BE0075; Bio-X-Cell, Lebanon, NH) or immunoglobulin (Ig)G isotype control (BE0090, Bio-XCell) was given every other day via intraperitoneal injection (150 ug/mouse). SB-265610 (Tocris, Bristol, UK) or phosphate-buffered saline was administrated through intraperitoneal injections at a dosage of 2 mg/kg per day. Tumor sizes were measured every other day. To establish an orthotopic mouse model of CRC, 5- to 6-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were treated with 1.7% dextran sodium sulfate in drinking water for 5 days, and then allowed to recover for 3 days. After 24 hours of fasting, METTL3 knockout or control MC38 cells suspended in 50 ul of 1 mg/mL Matrigel-phosphate-buffered saline (Corning, Corning, NY) were instilled into the colon lumen of anesthetized mice, coated sparingly with Vaseline.

Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A-centered Disease Response by This Target Gene [42]
Response Summary MIR100HG and hnRNPA2B1 interact to control the transcriptional activity of Wnt signaling in CRC via regulation of Transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) mRNA stability. These findings identified MIR100HG as a potent EMT inducer in CRC that contribute to cetuximab resistance and metastasis by activation of a MIR100HG/hnRNPA2B1/TCF7L2 feedback loop.
