Figure Legend Snippet: RNA m 6 A methyltransferase METTL16 enhanced the mRNA stability of PDK1 and induced gefitinib resistance in lung cancer. (A) The level of total M 6 A in PC-9 and PC-9/G cells was detected by dot blotting. (B) The mRNA and protein expression levels of METTL16 were tested by quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting in PC-9 and PC-9/G cells. (C) The protein expression levels of METTL16 were tested by Western blotting in PC-9, PC-9/OR, HCC827, and HCC827/OR cell lines. (D) After silencing METTL16 in PC-9G cells, the sensitivity to gefitinib increased. (E) The apoptosis rates were determined by flow cytometry, and METTL16 knockdown in PC-9/G cells induced higher apoptosis rates. (F) 3-DAA treatment in PC-9 and PC-9/G cells reduced the expression levels of PDK1. (G) Overexpression of METTL16 in PC-9 cells showed increased expression of PDK1, and knockdown of METTL16 in PC-9/G cells showed reduced expression of PDK1. (H) PDK1 mRNA levels were determined by semi-PCR in PC-9/G cells (control and METTL16-silenced) after actinomycin D treatment (normalized to 0 h). (I) Relative wild-type (WT) or mutated (Mut) luciferase activities in METTL16-overexpressed PC-9 cells were determined by normalizing the values to those of the negative control group. (J) The RNA immunoprecipitation assay showed that total m 6 A antibody levels were enriched on PDK1 mRNA, but were significantly decreased after METTL16 silencing. Data were statistically analyzed with Student’s t -test, and values were shown as mean ± standard deviation. ∗ P < 0.05 and ∗∗ P < 0.01.
