Abstract
Background
The uc003pes.1 has been identified as a potential diagnostic biomarker for coronary artery disease (CAD) and is associated with the risk of CAD. However, the precise function and intricate mechanism of uc003pes.1 in CAD remain elusive.
Methods
To elucidate the underlying mechanism we employed various techniques including RNA pull-down assays coupled with mass spectrometry analysis, RIP, RNA MeRIP, as well as luciferase reporter gene analysis.
Results
Overexpression of uc003pes.1 suppressed the proliferation and migration of HCASMCs. The upregulation of uc003pes.1 can be attributed to m6A modification mediated by the methylase RBM15. In terms of downstream mechanisms, uc003pes.1 acts as a molecular scaffold facilitating the interaction between STAT1 and the USP10, thereby impeding ubiquitination degradation of STAT1 and promoting phosphorylation levels at Tyr701 and Ser727, ultimately influencing HCASMCs' proliferation and migration.
Conclusion
Our study has discovered, for the first time, that uc003pes.1, regulated by m6A modification, functions as a molecular scaffold for STAT1 and USP10. This interaction plays a crucial role in regulating the proliferation and migration of HCASMCs, thereby offering novel insights into the diagnosis and treatment of CAD.
期刊介绍:
BBA Molecular Cell Research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of cellular processes at the molecular level. These include aspects of cellular signaling, signal transduction, cell cycle, apoptosis, intracellular trafficking, secretory and endocytic pathways, biogenesis of cell organelles, cytoskeletal structures, cellular interactions, cell/tissue differentiation and cellular enzymology. Also included are studies at the interface between Cell Biology and Biophysics which apply for example novel imaging methods for characterizing cellular processes.
