Abstract:
N6-methyladensine (m6A) modification plays an important role in cell differentiation,immunity and tumorigenesis and development,and has been the focus of epigenetic transcriptomics research in recent years.Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) is the only catalytic subunit in the m6A methyltransferase complex (MTC),and its mediated m6A modification plays an important role in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer (GC).Therefore,it may become a new epigenetic modulator of tumor.In this paper,the structural basis and biological function of METTL3 are systematically summarized,and the carcinogenic function and potential molecular mechanism of METTL3 in gastric cancer are expounded,in order to provide new ideas and schemes for the treatment of gastric cancer.
