ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) induces cardiomyocyte ferroptosis, a core remodeling event in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) emerges as a writer of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. This study was conducted to decipher the role of METTL14 in H/R-induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis.METHODS:
Mouse cardiomyocytes HL-1 were cultured and underwent H/R treatment. The degree of ferroptosis after H/R treatment was appraised by the cell counting kit-8 assay, assay kits (ROS/GSH/Fe2+), and Western blotting (GPX4/ACSL4). The intracellular expressions of METTL14, pri-miR-146a-5p, miR-146a-5p, or adaptor protein phosphotyrosine interacting with PH domain and leucine zipper 1 (APPL1) were examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction or Western blotting, with m6A quantification analysis and RNA immunoprecipitation to determine the total m6A level and the expression of pri-miR-146a-5p bound to DiGeorge critical region 8 (DGCR8) and m6A-modified pri-miR-146a-5p. The binding of miR-146a-5p to APPL1 was testified by the dual-luciferase assay.RESULTS:
H/R treatment induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis (increased ROS, Fe2+, and ACSL4 and decreased GSH and GPX4) and upregulated METTL14 expression. METTL14 knockdown attenuated H/R-induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. METTL14 induced the recognition of pri-miR-146a-5p by DGCR8 by increasing m6A modification on pri-miR-146a-5p, which promoted the conversion of pri-miR-146a-5p into miR-146a-5p and further repressed APPL1 transcription. miR-146a-5p upregulation or APPL1 downregulation limited the inhibitory effect of METTL14 downregulation on H/R-induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis.CONCLUSION:
METTL14 promoted miR-146a-5p expression through the recognition and processing of pri-miR-146a-5p by DGCR8, which repressed APPL1 transcription and triggered H/R-induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis.Palavras-chave
