摘要
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is an abundant nucleotide modification in mRNA, and its emerging roles have been gradually identified. However, the potential function of m6A and m6A-modified circular RNA (circRNA) is still unclear. Here, m6A-circRNA epitranscriptomic microarray analysis revealed a high-expressed m6A-modified circFOXK2 (hsa_circ_0000816, from FOXK2 gene) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). For the biofunctions of OSCC, results revealed that circFOXK2 promoted the malignant phenotypes of OSCC cells. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-Seq) demonstrated that a remarkable m6A modified site was installed on glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) mRNA. Mechanistically, circFOXK2 promoted the GLUT1 mRNA stability through cooperating with insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) in a m6A-dependent manner. In summary, the present study explored the oncogenic role of m6A-modified circFOXK2 in OSCC through the m6A-dependent IGF2BP3/GLUT1 axis, indicating a potential therapeutic target for OSCC.
