Fig. 4. METTL3 increased MALAT1 level through m6A modification.

Fig. 4

METTL3 was either overexpressed (METTL3) or knocked down (si-METTL3) in isolated KCs. A The protein level of METTL3 was examined by western blot in indicated cells. Control, parental KCs. B Wildtype and mutated (Mut; red letters) m6A methylation sequences in MALAT1 predicted using m6Avar database and constructs containing different mutations were illustrated. C m6A methylation on indicated MALAT1 constructs was examined by m6A mRNA immunoprecipitation assay followed by RT-qPCR. D, E m6A methylation status on indicated MALAT1 constructs in parental KCs, those overexpressing METTL3, or knocking down METTL3 (si-METTL3) was examined by m6A mRNA immunoprecipitation assay followed by RT-qPCR. F METTL3-expressing (left panel) or si-METTL3-expressing (right panel) KCs were transfected with MALAT1-WT or MALAT1-Mut1-2. The expressions of MALAT1 were analyzed by RT-qPCR. *P < 0.05 or **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
