Establishment of METTL3-KO AGS cells. AGS cells were transfected with METTL3 CRISPR/Cas9 and homology-directed repair plasmids. Colonies were selected and confirmed by detecting METTL3 expression and global m6A levels. (A) Stable METTL3-KO AGS cells (AGS-C20 and AGS-C43) were selected and METTL3-KO was confirmed via PCR analysis of METTL3 RNA. (B) Stable METTL3-KO AGS cells (AGS-C20 and AGS-C43) exhibited a significant decrease or a truncated expression of METTL3 protein, as determined via western blotting. Representative images are presented. Densitometric levels of positive bands were quantified and are expressed as the ratio to β-actin. (C) A significant decrease in global m6A levels was detected in METTL3-KO AGS cells. *P<0.05 vs. AGS-WT. METTL3-KO, methyltransferase like 3 knocked down; WT, wild type.
