However, an increase in both mtDNA 6mA level and METTL4 expression was observed in failing adult cardiomyocytes, suggesting a shift toward a neonatal-like state. METTL4 preferentially targeted mtDNA promoter regions, which resulted in interference with transcription initiation complex assembly, mtDNA transcriptional stalling, and ultimately mitochondrial dysfunction. Amplifying cardiomyocyte mtDNA 6mA through METTL4 overexpression led to spontaneous mitochondrial dysfunction and HF phenotypes. The transcription factor p53 was identified as a direct regulator of METTL4 transcription in response to HF-provoking stress, thereby revealing a stress-responsive mechanism that controls METTL4 expression and mtDNA 6mA. Cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of the <i>Mettl4</i> gene eliminated mtDNA 6mA excess, preserved mitochondrial function, and mitigated the development of HF upon continuous infusion of AngII/PE. In addition, specific silencing of METTL4 in cardiomyocytes restored mitochondrial function and offered therapeutic relief in mice with preexisting HF, irrespective of whether the condition was induced by AngII/PE infusion or myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our findings identify a pivotal role of cardiomyocyte mtDNA 6mA and the corresponding methyltransferase, METTL4, in the pathogenesis of mitochondrial dysfunction and HF.
