Figure Lengend Snippet: CircZFR Facilitates FASN Protein Translation via the YTHDF3-Dependent Mechanism. A Western blot analysis of FASN protein expression in HeLa and C33A cells treated with siYTHDF3#1 or siYTHDF3#2. B After treatment with MG132 for indicated times, protein levels of FASN were tested by Western blot analyses of HeLa cells treated with siCtrl, siYTHDF3#1, or siYTHDF3#2. C Coimmunoprecipitation by anti-eIF4A3 verified that the combination between YTHDF3 and eIF4A3 increased after overexpression circZFR and decreased after knocking down circZFR. D RIP assay using eIF4A3 antibody to test the combination between eIF4A3 protein and FASN mRNA in HeLa cells with or without circZFR overexpression. E MeRIP-qPCR assay validated the three m 6 A sites in FASN mRNA. F Schematic image of YTHDF3-WT plasmids, and YTHDF3-MUT plasmids containing m 6 A motif mutations in the CDS region. G Western blot assay tested the FASN protein expression in HeLa cells transfected with empty vector, YTHDF3-WT, or YTHDF3-MUT plasmids. WT, wild type; MUT, mutant. Data in A, B, C, D, E, and G are mean value ± SEM of three biological replicates, student t test, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001
