a, b Cell viability assays of METTL3-overexpressing MKN-45 (lvM3), METTL3-reducing HGC-27 (shM3), and control (lvCTL and shCTL) cells, with (5 or 50 µg/mL) or without everolimus (E). c Tumor volume of mice carrying METTL3-high or control tumors and fed with everolimus or solvent. Mice were pre-inoculated with MKN-45 tumor cells, administrated with everolimus or solvent daily from day 0 to 16, then sacrificed at day 17. d Photos of xenograft tumors when mice were sacrificed. e Tumor inhibition rate of everolimus in METTL3-high and control tumors. Tumor inhibition rate = 1 − the tumor weight with everolimus/the corresponding tumor weight with solvent. f Overview of METTL3/m6A-mediated miRNA cluster biogenesis and AKT/mTOR pathway activation in gastric cancer development. n = 3 for each group. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05.
