doi: 10.1002/ctm2.70388
Figure Lengend Snippet: METTL3 and IGF2BP2 regulate the APA process to affect the stability of PUM2 with m6A‐dependent and CPSF6‐binding manner in OC cells. (A, B) The expression ratio of long and short transcripts of target genes after knockdown of METTL3 (A) and IGF2BP2 (B) in OC cells, respectively. (C–F) The interaction between 3′UTR of PUM2 mRNA and CPSF6 (C), METTL3 (D), IGF2BP2 (E), and m6A (F) antibodies was validated by using eCLIP‐seq, RIP‐PCR and meRIP‐seq. (G) Distribution of the CPSF6 binding sites across PUM2 mRNA transcript as identified by eCLIP‐seq. (H) Distribution of m6A peaks across PUM2 mRNA as identified by meRIP‐seq. (I) IGV tracks showing the enrichment of PUM2 mRNA according to PAS‐seq after METTL3 and IGF2BP2 knockdown in OVCAR3 cells. (J) The abundance of PUM2 long and short transcripts was identified by 3′RACE assay in OC cells with METTL3 or IGF2BP2 knockdown. (K) The expression of PUM2 was detected by western blot after knocking down METTL3 and IGF2BP2 in OC cells. (L) Decay curves and half‐life (T1/2) of PUM2 mRNA in OVCAR3 cells with METTL3 and IGF2BP2 knockdown were derived from mRNA stability profiling. (M) The interaction between CPSF6 and PUM2 mRNA was detected by RIP‐qPCR following METTL3 and IGF2BP2 knockdown in OVCAR3 cells. (N) Scheme of m6A sites WT and MUT nucleotide sequence surrounding PUM2 pPAS in 3′UTR, and dual luciferase reporter assay performed by cotransfecting PUM2 3′UTR WT or MUT and IGF2BP2 plasmid.
Article Snippet: CPSF6 immunocomplexes were specifically enriched using a validated rabbit polyclonal antibody (Proteintech 15489‐1‐AP), with rabbit IgG (Millipore 12–370) serving as a negative control.
