Inhibition of METTL3 attenuates renal injury and inflammation by alleviating TAB3 m6A modifications via IGF2BP2-dependent mechanisms

Jia-Nan Wang et al.

Summary: The role of N-6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in renal diseases, particularly acute kidney injury (AKI), is still largely unknown. In this study, the researchers investigated the role of N-6-adenosine-methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) in AKI and found that its expression is elevated in renal tubules. They discovered that silencing METTL3 alleviated renal inflammation and programmed cell death in tubular epithelial cells (TECs) in response to stimulation, while overexpression of METTL3 had the opposite effects. Conditional knockout of METTL3 in mice also attenuated renal dysfunction, injury, and inflammation induced by AKI. Furthermore, the researchers identified TAB3 as a target of METTL3 and explored its proinflammatory effects. They also investigated the therapeutic potential of inhibiting METTL3 using an inhibitor called Cpd-564. Overall, they concluded that the METTL3/TAB3 axis may be a potential target for the treatment of AKI.

N6-Methyladenosine Reader Protein YT521-B Homology Domain-Containing 2 Suppresses Liver Steatosis by Regulation of mRNA Stability of Lipogenic Genes

Bing Zhou et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that m(6)A enrichment and mRNA expression of lipogenic genes were increased in leptin-receptor-deficient mice. The m(6)A reader, Ythdc2, was down-regulated in obese mice and NAFLD patients, and its suppression in lean mice led to TG accumulation while overexpression in obese mice improved liver steatosis and insulin resistance. This suggests that Ythdc2 plays a crucial role in regulating hepatic lipogenesis and TG homeostasis, presenting a potential target for treating obesity-related NAFLD.
