m6A mRNA demethylase FTO regulates melanoma tumorigenicity and response to anti-PD-1 blockade
25 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Melanoma is one of the most deadly and therapy-resistant cancers. Here we show that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA demethylation by fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) increases melanoma growth and decreases response to anti-PD-1 blockade immunotherapy. FTO level is increased in human melanoma and enhances melanoma tumorigenesis in mice. FTO is induced by metabolic starvation stress through the...
