The dynamic and reversible N-methyladenosine (mA) RNA modification installed and erased by N-methyltransferases and demethylases regulates gene expression and cell fate. We show that the mA demethylase ALKBH5 is highly expressed in glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs). Silencing ALKBH5 suppresses the proliferation of patient-derived GSCs. Integrated transcriptome and mA-seq analyses revealed altered expression of certain ALKBH5 target genes, including the transcription factor FOXM1. ALKBH5 demethylates FOXM1 nascent transcripts, leading to enhanced FOXM1 expression. Furthermore, a long non-coding RNA antisense to FOXM1 (FOXM1-AS) promotes the interaction of ALKBH5 with FOXM1 nascent transcripts. Depleting ALKBH5 and FOXM1-AS disrupted GSC tumorigenesis through the FOXM1 axis. Our work uncovers a critical function for ALKBH5 and provides insight into critical roles of mA methylation in glioblastoma.
由N-甲基转移酶和去甲基酶安装和去除的动态可逆N-甲基腺苷（mA）RNA修饰调节基因表达和细胞命运。我们发现mA去甲基酶ALKBH5在胶质母细胞瘤干细胞样细胞（GSCs）中高度表达。沉默ALKBH5可抑制患者来源的GSCs的增殖。综合转录组和mA-seq分析揭示了某些ALKBH5靶基因的表达改变，包括转录因子FOXM1。ALKBH5使FOXM1新生转录本去甲基化，导致FOXM1表达增强。此外，一种与FOXM1反义的长链非编码RNA（FOXM1-AS）促进ALKBH5与FOXM1新生转录本的相互作用。通过FOXM1轴耗尽ALKBH5和FOXM1-AS破坏了GSC的肿瘤发生。我们的工作揭示了ALKBH5的关键功能，并为mA甲基化在胶质母细胞瘤中的关键作用提供了见解。
