More Details: Abstract Background N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is, a more common epigenetic modification in addition to m6A modification, mainly found in mRNA capsids, mRNA interiors, transfer RNA (tRNA), pri-miRNA, and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). It has been found that m7G modifications play an important role in mRNA transcription, tRNA stability, rRNA processing maturation, and miRNA biosynthesis. However, the role of m7G modifications within mRNA and its “writer” methyltransferase 1(METTL1) in tumors, particularly prostate cancer (PCa), has not been revealed. Methods The differential expression level of METTL1 between hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) and castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) was evaluated via RNA-seq and in vitro experiments. The effects of METTL1 on CRPC progression were investigated through in vitro and in vivo assays. The upstream molecular mechanism of METTL1 expression upregulation and the downstream mechanism of its action were explored via Chromatin Immunoprecipitation quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (CHIP-qPCR), Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), luciferase reporter assay, transcriptome-sequencing, m7G AlkAniline-Seq, and mRNA degradation experiments, etc. Results and conclusion Here, we found that METTL1 was elevated in CRPC and that patients with METTL1 elevation tended to have a poor prognosis. Functionally, the knockdown of METTL1 in CRPC cells significantly limited cell proliferation and invasive capacity. Mechanistically, we unveiled that P300 can form a complex with SP1 and bind to the promoter region of the METTL1 gene via SP1, thereby mediating METTL1 transcriptional upregulation in CRPC. Subsequently, our findings indicated that METTL1 leads to enhanced mRNA stability of CDK14 by adding m7G modifications inside its mRNA, ultimately promoting CRPC progression.
