(A) RT-PCR analysis of METTL3 expression in GSCs transduced with lentivirus expressing control shRNA (shC) or METTL3 shRNAs (shMETTL3-1, shMETTL3-2). n = 3. See also Figure S1.
(B–D) Cell growth (B), sphere-formation (C), and limiting dilution assay (LDA) (D) of GSCs transduced with lentivirus expressing control shRNA or METTL3 shRNAs. A sphere-formation assay and LDA were used to evaluate the self-renewal capacity of GSCs. n = 4 for (B), n = 6 for (C), and n = 20 for (D).
*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 by Student's t test. Error bars represent SD of the mean.
