FTO elicits tumor neovascularization in cancer-associated fibroblasts through eliminating m 6 A modifications of multiple pro-angiogenic factors.
Cancer Letters 2024 April 28
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) exhibit notable versatility, plasticity, and robustness, actively participating in cancer progression through intricate interactions within the tumor microenvironment (TME). N6-methyladenosine (m6 A) modification is the most prevalent modification in eukaryotic mRNA, playing essential roles in mRNA metabolism and various biological processes. Howbeit, the precise involvement of m6 A in CAF activation remains enigmatic. In this study, we revealed that the m6 A demethylase FTO supports CAF-mediated angiogenesis through activation of EGR1 and VEGFA in conjunctival melanoma (CoM). First, single-cell transcriptome analysis revealed that FTO was specifically upregulated in the CAF population, thereby contributing to the hypo-m6 A status in the TME of CoM. Moreover, CAFs of CoM displayed extensive proangiogenic potential, which was largely compromised by FTO inhibition, both in vitro and in vivo. By employing multi-omics analysis, we showed that FTO effectively eliminates the m6 A modifications of VEGFA and EGR1. This process subsequently disrupts the YTHDF2-dependent mRNA decay pathway, resulting in increased mRNA stability and upregulated expression of these molecules. Collectively, our findings initially indicate that the upregulation of FTO plays a pivotal role in tumor development by promoting CAF-mediated angiogenesis. Therapeutically, targeting FTO may show promise as a potential antiangiogenic strategy to optimize cancer treatment.
