| Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A Methylation Regulator of This Target Gene | [1] | |||
| Response Summary | GBM tumors have elevated levels of METTL3 transcripts and silencing METTL3 in U87/TIC inhibited tumor growth in an intracranial orthotopic mouse model with prolonged mice survival. The exogenous overexpression of 3'UTR-less Transcription factor SOX-2 (SOX2) significantly alleviated the inhibition of neurosphere formation observed in METTL3 silenced GSCs. | |||
