N6-methyladenosine writer METTL3 accelerates the sepsis-induced myocardial injury by regulating m6A-dependent ferroptosis

Abstract Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent and phospholipid peroxidation-mediated cell death, which has been identified to be involved in sepsis-induced injury. However, the in-depth molecular mechanisms of $ N^{6} $-methyladenosine ($ m^{6} $A) and ferroptosis on sepsis-induced myocardial injury are still unclear. Here, in the septic myocardial injury, $ m^{6} $A methyltransferase METTL3 level and methylation level high-expressed in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiomyocytes (H9C2). Functionally, METTL3 silencing repressed the ferroptosis phenotype induced by LPS. Mechanistically, METTL3-mediated $ m^{6} $A methylation on solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) empowered its mRNA with high methylation level. Moreover, YTHDF2 directly bound to the $ m^{6} $A modification sites of SLC7A11 to mediate the mRNA degradation. The $ m^{6} $A modified SLC7A11 mRNA was recognized by YTHDF2, which promoted the decay of SLC7A11 mRNA, consequently up-regulating ferroptosis in sepsis-induced myocardial injury. Together, these findings establish a role of METTL3 in the ferroptosis of LPS-induced cardiomyocytes, and provide potential therapeutic target to treat the sepsis-induced myocardial injury..
