Family fto family
Function
RNA demethylase that mediates oxidative demethylation of different RNA species, such as mRNAs, tRNAs and snRNAs, and acts as a regulator of fat mass, adipogenesis and energy homeostasis . Specifically demethylates N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA, the most prevalent internal modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in higher eukaryotes . M6A demethylation by FTO affects mRNA expression and stability . Also able to demethylate m6A in U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA). Mediates demethylation of N(6),2'-O-dimethyladenosine cap (m6A(m)), by demethylating the N(6)-methyladenosine at the second transcribed position of mRNAs and U6 snRNA . Demethylation of m6A(m) in the 5'-cap by FTO affects mRNA stability by promoting susceptibility to decapping . Also acts as a tRNA demethylase by removing N(1)-methyladenine from various tRNAs . Has no activity towards 1-methylguanine . Has no detectable activity towards double-stranded DNA . Also able to repair alkylated DNA and RNA by oxidative demethylation: demethylates single-stranded RNA containing 3-methyluracil, single-stranded DNA containing 3-methylthymine and has low demethylase activity towards single-stranded DNA containing 1-methyladenine or 3-methylcytosine . Ability to repair alkylated DNA and RNA is however unsure in vivo. Involved in the regulation of fat mass, adipogenesis and body weight, thereby contributing to the regulation of body size and body fat accumulation . Involved in the regulation of thermogenesis and the control of adipocyte differentiation into brown or white fat cells. Regulates activity of the dopaminergic midbrain circuitry via its ability to demethylate m6A in mRNAs (By similarity). Plays an oncogenic role in a number of acute myeloid leukemias by enhancing leukemic oncogene-mediated cell transformation: acts by mediating m6A demethylation of target transcripts such as MYC, CEBPA, ASB2 and RARA, leading to promote their expression.

In-vivo Model When the tumors reached a volume of 80-100 mm3, mice were treated with anti-PD-1 or isotype control antibody (200 ug/mouse) by i.p. injection, every other day for three times. For IFNγ blockade treatment, C57BL/6 mice were treated with anti-IFNγ antibody or isotype control IgG (250 ug/mouse) every other day after tumor cell inoculation.
Response Summary These findings demonstrate a crucial role of FTO as an m6A demethylase in promoting melanoma tumorigenesis and anti-PD-1 resistance, and suggest that the combination of FTO inhibition with anti-PD-1 blockade reduces the resistance to immunotherapy in melanoma. Knockdown of FTO increases m6A methylation in the critical protumorigenic melanoma cell-intrinsic genes including PD-1 (PDCD1), C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4), and SOX10, leading to increased RNA decay through the m6A reader YTHDF2.

In-vivo Model For the tumor growth analysis, AGS cells were subcutaneously injected into nude mice, and then the tumor volumes were monitored every 5 days. Tumor volumes were estimated based on the length and width and calculated using the following formula: tumor volume = (length × width2)/2. About 1 month later, the nude mice were sacrificed, and then tumors were excised, pictured, and weighed. For the tumor metastasis analysis, AGS cells were injected into nude mice by Tail Vein. About 1 month later, the nude mice were sacrificed, and then lung with metastasis lesions were excised, pictured, and counted.
Response Summary This study demonstrated that the key demethylase of m6A FTO promoted the proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer via regulating the mitochondrial fission/fusion and metabolism. In terms of mechanism, FTO improved the degradation of Caveolin-1 (CAV1) mRNA via its demethylation

In-vivo Model For R-2HG injection mouse models, sensitive (NOMO-1 and MA9.3ITD) or resistant (MA9.3RAS) cells were injected into NSGS or NRGS intravenously, and then R-2HG (6mg/kg body weight) or PBS were injected once daily through tail vein for 12 consecutive days starting from day 11 post xeno-transplantation.
Response Summary This work demonstrates anti-tumor effects of 2HG in inhibiting proliferation/survival of FTO-high cancer cells via targeting FTO/m6A/MYC/CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (CEBPA) signaling.High levels of FTO sensitize leukemia cells to R-2HG, whereas hyperactivation of MYC signaling confers resistance that can be reversed by the inhibition of MYC signaling. R-2HG also displays anti-tumor activity in glioma. High levels of FTO sensitize leukemic cells to R-2HG, whereas hyperactivation of MYC signaling confers resistance that can be reversed by the inhibition of MYC signaling.

When the average tumor size reached ~100 mm3, the mice were then randomized into four groups and treated with vehicle control, Olaparib (50 mg/kg), XAV939 (5 mg/kg) or a combination daily for 18 days.
Response Summary Downregulation of m6A demethylases FTO and ALKBH5 was sufficient to increase Frizzled-10 (FZD10) mRNA m6A modification and reduce PARPi sensitivity, the finding elucidates a novel regulatory mechanism of PARPi resistance in EOC by showing that m6A modification of FZD10 mRNA contributes to PARPi resistance in BRCA-deficient EOC cells via upregulation of Wnt/Bete-catenin pathway.

In-vivo Model Two weeks after the stereotaxic surgery, all the animals were intraperitoneally injected with apomorphine at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg to induce the contralateral rotations. Ten minutes after the injection, a video was used to record the rotations of each rat for 20 min. Only those 6-OHDA induced rats showing robust contralateral turning (>7 turns/min) that were injected with 6-OHDA were used in subsequent experiments.
Response Summary Decreased m6A in dopaminergic cells by overexpressing a nucleic acid demethylase, FTO, or by m6A inhibitor. m6A reduction could induce the expression of Glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 1 (NMDAR1/GRIN1), and elevate oxidative stress and Ca2+ influx, resulting in dopaminergic neuron apoptosis. m6A modification plays a vital role in the death of dopaminergic neuron, which provides a novel view of mRNA methylation to understand the epigenetic regulation of Parkinson's disease.

In-vivo Model FtoKO mice were backcrossed to WT C57BL/6 mice to remove Cre and bred to homozygosity. Results are reported for male mice on the same genetic background (C57BL6/J). For the diet-induced bone loss studies, mice were fed a 60% high-fat diet (D12492, Research Diets) from 6 wk of age to 24 wk. Genotyping strategies are available upon request. NBD (KKKKKKKKGGTALDWSWLQTE) with the Trp to Ala substitutions designed to render the peptide inactive underlined, was a gift from D.C.G. and dissolved in water before use. Next, 10 mg/kg NBD was intraperitoneally injected in 29-wk old FtoOc KO mice every other day for 9 d. One day after the last injection, bone was harvested for analysis of DNA damage.
Response Summary loss of Fto also increased susceptibility of osteoblasts to genotoxic damage from metabolic stress induced by exposure to HF is also consistent with this model for FTO action. FTO functions intrinsically in osteoblasts through Heat shock 70 kDa protein 1A (HSPA1A)-NF-Kappa-B signaling to enhance the stability of mRNA of proteins that function to protect cells from genotoxic damage.

In-vivo Model A total of 3×106 RPMI8226/MM1R-Luc cells were intravenously injected into NCG mice to establish a disseminated human MM xenograft model. The in vivo antitumor effect of the FTO inhibitor MA2 combined with or without the first-line chemotherapeutic agent BTZ was evaluated as follows: 3 days post xenotransplantation, MA2 (20 mg/kg), or vehicle control was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) daily for 10 days, and BTZ was injected intraperitoneally on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Mouse serum was collected at specified time points during the treatment, and the tumor burden was monitored by detecting myeloma cell-secreted Lambda light chains via a Human Lambda ELISA Kit (Bethyl Laboratories, No. E88-116). Tumor development was monitored weekly after treatment with an in vivo imaging system (IVIS, SI Imaging, Lago, and LagoX). Luciferin (150 mg/kg, YEASEN, Shanghai, China) was injected intraperitoneally into the mice.
Response Summary FTO significantly promotes MM cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by targeting Heat shock factor protein 1 (HSF1)/HSPs in a YTHDF2-dependent manner. FTO inhibition, especially when combined with bortezomib (BTZ) treatment, synergistically inhibited myeloma bone tumor formation and extramedullary spread in NCG mice.

In-vivo Model For each experiment, 6- to 8-week-old mice were used and randomly allocated to each group. For xenograft mouse, 0.1 × 106 MA9.3ITD cells were transplanted into NRGS recipient mice intravenously. Drug treatment was started from 10 days after transplantation. CS2 was administered through intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection at 5mg/kg/day, every other day. CS1 dissolved in saturated Beta-cyclodextrin (C0926, Sigma-Aldrich) solution was delivered by intravenous injection (i.v.). Successful engraftment was observed following 4 weeks post inoculation displaying a level of about 5% human CD33+ cells in peripheral. To generate PDX mouse models, 1 × 106 AML patient derived BMMNCs were transplanted into NRGS recipient mice intravenously, and drug treatment was started from 7 days later. CS2, FB23-2, and free CS1 were administered through i.p. injection at 5 mg/kg/day, while Micelle (900661, Sigma-Aldrich) packaged CS1 was delivered by i.v. injection at 5mg/kg/day. Both CS1 and CS2 were injected every other day for a total of ten times.
Response Summary Genetic depletion and pharmacological inhibition of FTO dramatically attenuate leukemia stem/initiating cell self-renewal and reprogram immune response by suppressing expression of immune checkpoint genes, especially Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 4 (LILRB4). FTO inhibitors, such as rhein, meclofenamic acid (MA), MO-I-500, fluorescein, and R-2HG, can inhibit acute myeloid leukemia cell viability. CS1 and CS2 displayed a much higher efficacy in inhibiting AML cell viability.

In-vivo Model Mice were anesthetized with Nembutal. The lower back was dissected until the transverse lumbar process was exposed. After the process was removed, the underneath L4 spinal nerve was ligated with a silk 6-0 thread. A slight distal location was chosen for transection around the ligation site. Subsequent layers of muscle and skin were closed. The sham groups undertook identical procedures, but without the transection or ligature of the corresponding nerve. The intraspinal injection was performed as described previously. In short, after anesthetized with Nembutal, mice underwent hemilaminectomy at the L1-L2 vertebral segments. The intraspinal injection was carried out ipsilaterally on the left side. By using a glass micropipette, each animal received two injections (5 × 105 TU per injection, 0.8 mm from the midline, 0.5 mm apart in rostrocaudal axis, 0.5 mm deep) of lentivirus following the L3-L4 dorsal root entry zone after exposure of spinal cord. The tip of glass micropipette should reach a depth of lamina II-IV of the spinal cord. Finally, the dorsal muscle and skin were sutured layer by layer.
Response Summary FTO was colocalized with Matrix metalloproteinase-24 (MMP24) in spinal neurons and shown increased binding to the Mmp24 mRNA in the spinal cord after SNL. SNL promoted the m6A eraser FTO binding to the Mmp24 mRNA, which subsequently facilitated the translation of MMP24 in the spinal cord, and ultimately contributed to neuropathic pain genesis.

In-vivo Model PCa cells carrying the transfected plasmid were subcutaneously injected into immunodeficient mice at a rate of 1 × 106 cells per mouse according to a previous study. Tumor formation in the two groups of mice was observed and recorded by a designated personnel every day, and the volume of the tumors was measured. The nude mice were sacrificed 21 days after tumor formation, and the tumors were removed to measure their volume and weight.
Response Summary FTO was downregulated in PCa and its expression level showed a relevance to the prognosis of PCa patients. Additionally, FTO could regulate the proliferation, migration and invasion of PCa via regulating the expression level of Melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R).

Integrated analysis of transcriptome-wide m6A-seq and mRNA-seq analysis identified the glutamine transporter Neutral amino acid transporter B(0) (SLC1A5) as an FTO target that promotes metabolic reprogramming and survival of VHL-deficient ccRCC cells. GLS1 inhibitors that target mitochondrial glutaminase and the conversion of glutamine to glutamate are currently being evaluated in early-phase clinical trials in ccRCC. These findings identify FTO as a potential HIF-independent therapeutic target for the treatment of VHL-deficient renal cell carcinoma.

In-vivo Model Conditional knockout of Fto in bone in mice was generated as previously described. Throughout the study, mice were maintained on a 12 h: 12 h light:dark cycle in a specific pathogen-free facility.
Response Summary Both depletion of FTO and application of the FTO inhibitor FB23 or FB23-2 impaired osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs. Knockdown of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) promoted FTO-induced expression of the osteoblast biomarkers ALPL and OPN during osteogenic differentiation. This study demonstrates the functional significance of the FTO-PPARG axis in promoting the osteogenesis of human MSCs and sheds light on the role of m6A modification in mediating osteoporosis and osteonecrosis.

In-vivo Model Five- to 6-week-old male athymic nude mice purchased by Charles River were used for the xenograft model. 769-P cells stably expressing Ctrl, FTO and FTO-mut were trypsinized and washed twice to thrice with standardized PBS, and then, 5 × 106 cells in 100 uL of PBS was subcutaneously injected into the flanks of the mice (five mice per group). Mice were monitored twice every week for tumour growth, and tumour diameters were measured using a caliper.
Response Summary FTO plays a critical anti-tumorigenic role in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.Restored expression of FTO, through reducing m6A levels in mRNA transcripts of its critical target gene PPAR-gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1a/PPARGC1A), increases mitochondrial content, ROS production and oxidative damage, with the most important effect of repressed tumour growth.

The cells were intracranially injected at a density of 5 × 105/10 uL into every mouse to form an orthotopic xenograft model. Coordinates of injection were 1 mm anterior and 2.5 mm right to the bregma, at a depth of 3.5 mm (the right frontal lobes of the mouse). Every 6 days, bioluminescence imaging (IVIS Lumina Series III; PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) was used to image the mouse. At 8 days, we randomly chose 5 mice from each group to euthanize them, and their brain tissues were fixed with paraformaldehyde for further study. Another 5 mice were used for survival time analysis. For DB2313 (563801; MedKoo) anti-tumor research, male nude mice were subcutaneously injected with 5 × 106 U87MG cells suspended in 0.1 mL PBS. After 7 days, mice were intraperitoneally injected with DB2313 at density of 10 mg/kg/day dissolved in PBS solvent containing 10% DMSO for 7 days. The other group treated with vehicle only was set as the control group.
Response Summary FTO inhibited growth, migration and invasion of GBM cells in vitro and in vivo.decreased FTO expression could induce the downregulation of MTMR3 expression by modulating the processing of pri-miR-10a in an m6A/HNRNPA2B1-dependent manner in GBM cells. Furthermore, the transcriptional activity of FTO was inhibited by the transcription factor Transcription factor PU.1 (SPI1).

In-vivo Model When the tumors reached a volume of 80-100 mm3, mice were treated with anti-PD-1 or isotype control antibody (200 ug/mouse) by i.p. injection, every other day for three times. For IFNγ blockade treatment, C57BL/6 mice were treated with anti-IFNγ antibody or isotype control IgG (250 ug/mouse) every other day after tumor cell inoculation.
Response Summary These findings demonstrate a crucial role of FTO as an m6A demethylase in promoting melanoma tumorigenesis and anti-PD-1 resistance, and suggest that the combination of FTO inhibition with anti-PD-1 blockade reduces the resistance to immunotherapy in melanoma. Knockdown of FTO increases m6A methylation in the critical protumorigenic melanoma cell-intrinsic genes including PD-1 (PDCD1), CXCR4, and Transcription factor SOX-10 (SOX10), leading to increased RNA decay through the m6A reader YTHDF2.
