Overview of Gene Research
Ythdf3, an N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader protein, is crucial in regulating the metabolism of m6A-modified mRNAs in the cytoplasm. It is involved in various biological processes such as translation, mRNA decay, and autophagy, and is associated with multiple disease-related pathways, especially cancer-related ones. Genetic models, like gene-knockout (KO) mouse models, can be valuable for further exploring its functions [4].
In breast cancer, Ythdf3 overexpression correlates with brain metastases. It promotes cancer cell interactions with brain-related cells, blood-brain barrier extravasation, angiogenesis, etc., by enhancing the translation of m6A-enriched transcripts for genes like ST6GALNAC5, GJA1, and EGFR [1]. In pancreatic cancer, ZDHHC20-mediated S-palmitoylation of Ythdf3 stabilizes MYC mRNA to promote cancer progression. Inhibition of Ythdf3 palmitoylation downregulates MYC expression and suppresses the progression of KRAS mutant pancreatic cancer [2]. For autophagy, Ythdf3 is essential for autophagy induction. It promotes autophagy by recognizing m6A modification sites around the stop codon of FOXO3 mRNA and recruiting translation-related factors to up-regulate FOXO3 translation [3,7]. In liver fibrosis, Ythdf3-mediated PRDX3 translation alleviates liver fibrosis [5]. In glioblastoma, Ythdf3 modulates the EGFR/ATK/ERK/p21 signaling axis to promote cancer progression and osimertinib resistance [6]. In melanoma, Ythdf3 regulates metastasis via its target LOXL3 [8]. In castration-resistant prostate cancer, Ythdf3 regulates the degradation and stability of m6A-enriched transcripts to facilitate cancer progression, and melatonin can inhibit Ythdf3-related activities [9].
In conclusion, Ythdf3 plays essential roles in multiple biological processes, especially in cancer-related events, as revealed through various functional studies. Model-based research, such as KO/CKO mouse models (although not explicitly detailed in all references), could potentially further clarify its functions in these specific disease areas, providing insights for targeted therapeutic strategies.
