Ferroptosis is a newly identified iron-dependent form of death that is becoming increasingly recognized as a promising avenue for cancer therapy. N6-methyladenosine (m6 A) is the most abundant reversible methylation modification in mRNA contributing to tumorigenesis. However, the crucial role of m6 A modification in regulating ferroptosis during colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis remains elusive. Herein, we find that m6 A modification is increased during ferroptotic cell death and correlates with the decreased m6 A demethylase fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) expression...
