The energy metabolic rearrangement of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis is a significant biological feature and can promote the malignant progression. However, there is little knowledge about the functional mechanisms of methyltransferase-like protein 14 (METTL14) mediated contributes to TNBC malignant progression. Our study found that METTL14 expression was significantly upregulated in TNBC tissues and cell lines. Silencing METTL14 significantly inhibited TNBC cell growth and invasion in vitro, as well as suppressed tumour growth. Mechanically, METTL14 was first found to activate miR-29c-3p through m6A and regulate tripartite motif containing 9 (TRIM9) to promote ubiquitination of pyruvate kinase isoform M2 (PKM2) and lead to its transition from tetramer to dimer, resulting in glucose metabolic reprogramming from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis to promote the progress of TNBC. Taken together, these findings reveal important roles of METTL14 in TNBC tumorigenesis and energy metabolism, which might represent a novel potential therapeutic target for TNBC.
