A GSEA analysis revealed a positive correlation between METTL14 and ncRNA processing and degradation. B A significant negative association was identified between METTL14 mRNA and TINCR expression. C HG treatment of cardiomyocytes significantly increased TINCR expression, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. D. TINCR was significantly upregulated in DCM rats in contrast to controlled rats, **P < 0.01. E, F qRT-PCR showed that silence of METTL14 (E) upregulated, while overexpression of METTL14 (F) suppressed TINCR expression in cardiomyocytes, **P < 0.01. G, H Cardiac function analysis (G), electron microscopy imaging (H) showed that injection of METTL14 dramatically reversed the myocardial damage caused by DCM, however, co-expression of TINCR abrogated the METTL14-mediated influence, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. I The expressions of pyroptosis-related proteins was detected in H9c2 and NRVMs cells upon indicated treatments.
