YTHDF2 reduction fuels inflammation and vascular abnormalization in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: A-methylation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). RESULTS: A-containing interleukin 11 (IL11) and serpin family E member 2 (SERPINE2) mRNAs, which were responsible for the inflammation-mediated malignancy and disruption of vascular normalization. Reciprocally, YTHDF2 transcription succumbed to hypoxia-inducible factor-2a (HIF-2a). Administration of a HIF-2a antagonist (PT2385) restored YTHDF2-programed epigenetic machinery and repressed liver cancer. CONCLUSION: A-mRNA landscape in human HCC and revealed YTHDF2 as a molecular 'rheostat' in epitranscriptome and cancer progression.
