METTL3 Regulates the Translation of Oncogene Myc through m6A Modification and Promotes the Occurrence and Development of Cervical Cancer
Yanyan Ma & Wei Zheng et al.
Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the major types of gynecological cancer, with a high global incidence and mortality rate. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), a key constituent of methyltransferase, plays a crucial role in various biological processes. Still, only a rare report has been made on its involvement in the progression of CC. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of METTL3 in CC and its molecular mechanisms. Gene expression datasets about CC were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the expression of Analysis of the GEO database indicated elevated expression of METTL3 and Myc in CC tissues. Patients with high METTL3 expression had shorter disease-free survival, and patients with high Myc expression had shorter overall survival. Following the knockdown of
