Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (ARC) plays an important role in the synaptic plasticity of memory consolidation. Abnormal expression of ARC in the brains of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients leads to disturbance of synaptic plasticity. N6-methyladenosine (m(6)A) might be involved in the epigenetic modification of ARC, and METTL3 rescues A beta-induced reduction of ARC expression through YTHDF1-dependent m(6)A modification, revealing an important mechanism of epigenetic alteration in AD.
Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (ARC) is activated by the induction of long-term potentiation and plays an important role in the synaptic plasticity of memory consolidation. Previous studies have shown that abnormal expression of ARC in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) leads to the disturbance of synaptic plasticity. ARC expression is mainly regulated by transcriptional and post-translational modification. However, it is unclear whether N6-methyladenosine (m(6)A) engages in the epigenetic modification of ARC. The AlzData database was used to analyze the brain of AD patients, and A beta-induced cell models were used. We revealed that ARC expression was reduced in AD patients and A beta-induced cell models. There were five m(6)A modification sites of ARC mRNA that were predicted by the SRAMP database, and ARC mRNA was confirmed as the target gene of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) by MeRIP. Amyloid-beta protein (A beta) repressed the m(6)A modification. Knockdown of METTL3 decreased ARC mRNA m(6)A modification and reduced ARC protein expression, while overexpression of METTL3 rescued ARC expression after A beta treatment. Knockdown of YTH domain family, member 1 (YTHDF1) decreased ARC protein expression, while the overexpression of YTHDF1 could not rescue the loss of ARC protein expression after 3-deazaadenosine treatment or knockdown of METTL3. Our findings identify that METTL3 rescues the A beta-induced reduction of ARC expression via YTHDF1-Dependent m(6)A modification, which suggests an important mechanism of epigenetic alteration in AD.
