METTL5-mediated m6A modification of SLC7A11 promotes cervical cancer by inhibiting ferroptosis.
Ferroptosis could suppress the viability of cervical cancer cells and trigger their death, thereby offering a unique perspective for exploring novel therapeutic approach for cervical cancer. Here, this study tried to explore the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase methyltransferase-like 5 (METTL5) on cervical cancer ferroptosis. Elevated METTL5 functioned as an oncogene in cervical cancer tumorigenesis by inhibiting the ferroptosis. Mechanistically, METTL5 was verified to target SLC7A11 and installed the m6A methylation on SLC7A11 mRNA. Moreover, YTHDF3 bound with the m6A site of SLC7A11 mRNA to enhance SLC7A11 mRNA stability. Rescue assays confirmed that METTL5/YTHDF3/SLC7A11 axis inhibited the ferroptosis of cervical cancer cells. In vivo, METTL5 silencing repressed the tumor growth of cervical cancer cells, as well as reducing the SLC7A11. In conclusion, these data inspired that METTL5-mediated m6A modification of SLC7A11 promoted cervical cancer by inhibiting ferroptosis, providing a novel insight for cervical cancer.
