Core transcriptional regulatory circuit-regulated IGF2BP3 stabilizes E2F2 mRNA via m6A modification in neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a pediatric tumor with diverse outcomes and unknown underlying mechanisms. The core transcriptional regulatory circuit (CRC) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) are key factors that control cell identity and fate. IGF2BP3 is an m6A reader protein that is transcriptionally regulated by CRC transcription factors (TFs). In NB, this molecule is abundantly expressed, and there is a clear correlation between its expression and a bad prognosis. We mechanistically demonstrated that IGF2BP3 promotes E2F2 mRNA expression through m6A, which is correlated with high risk and poor prognosis in NB patients. We showed that the CRC TF-IGF2BP3-E2F2 regulatory axis forms an oncogenic network that drives NB development and progression. Overall, we investigated the molecular mechanism by which IGF2BP3, a m6A-reading protein that is regulated by CRC TFs, regulates E2F2 mRNA expression in an m6A-dependent manner. This study highlights the therapeutic potential of disrupting this axis with m6A-targeted interventions.
期刊介绍:
Carcinogenesis: Integrative Cancer Research is a multi-disciplinary journal that brings together all the varied aspects of research that will ultimately lead to the prevention of cancer in man. The journal publishes papers that warrant prompt publication in the areas of Biology, Genetics and Epigenetics (including the processes of promotion, progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, genomic instability, growth factors, cell and molecular biology, mutation, DNA repair, genetics, etc.), Cancer Biomarkers and Molecular Epidemiology (including genetic predisposition to cancer, and epidemiology), Inflammation, Microenvironment and Prevention (including molecular dosimetry, chemoprevention, nutrition and cancer, etc.), and Carcinogenesis (including oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in carcinogenesis, therapy resistance of solid tumors, cancer mouse models, apoptosis and senescence, novel therapeutic targets and cancer drugs).
