A functional loop between YTH domain family protein YTHDF3 mediated m6A modification and phosphofructokinase PFKL in glycolysis of hepatocellular carcinoma

Overview
Background & aims

-methyladenosine (m

A) modification plays a critical role in progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and aerobic glycolysis is a hallmark of cancer including HCC. However, the role of YTHDF3, one member of the core readers of the m
6
A pathway, in aerobic glycolysis and progression of HCC is still unclear.
Methods
Expression levels of YTHDF3 in carcinoma and surrounding tissues of HCC patients were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Loss and gain-of-function experiments in vitro and in vivo were used to assess the effects of YTHDF3 on HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The role of YTHDF3 in hepatocarcinogenesis was observed in a chemically induced HCC model with
Ythdf3
−/−
mice. Untargeted metabolomics and glucose metabolism phenotype assays were performed to evaluate relationship between YTHDF3 and glucose metabolism. The effect of YTHDF3 on PFKL was assessed by methylated RNA immunoprecipitation assays (MeRIP). Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assays were performed to investigate the connection between YTHDF3 and PFKL.
Results
We found YTHDF3 expression was greatly upregulated in carcinoma tissues and it was correlated with poor prognosis of HCC patients. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays demonstrated YTHDF3 promoted proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells in vitro, and YTHDF3 knockdown inhibited xenograft tumor growth and lung metastasis of HCC cells in vivo. YTHDF3 knockout significantly suppressed hepatocarcinogenesis in chemically induced mice model. Mechanistically, YTHDF3 promoted aerobic glycolysis by promoting phosphofructokinase PFKL expression at both mRNA and protein levels. MeRIP assays showed YTHDF3 suppressed PFKL mRNA degradation via m

A modification. Surprisingly, PFKL positively regulated YTHDF3 protein expression, not as a glycolysis rate-limited enzyme, and PFKL knockdown effectively rescued the effects of YTHDF3 overexpression on proliferation, migration and invasion ability of Sk-Hep-1 and HepG2 cells. Notably, co-immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated PFKL interacted with YTHDF3 via EFTUD2, a core subunit of spliceosome involved in pre-mRNA splicing process, and ubiquitination assays showed PFKL could positively regulate YTHDF3 protein expression via inhibiting ubiquitination of YTHDF3 protein by EFTUD2.
Conclusions
our study uncovers the key role of YTHDF3 in HCC, characterizes a positive functional loop between YTHDF3 and phosphofructokinase PFKL in glucose metabolism of HCC, and suggests the connection between pre-mRNA splicing process and m
