摘要
N6-methyl adenosine (m6A) modification is known to play a crucial role in various aging-related diseases. However, its involvement in presbycusis, a type of age-related hearing loss, is not yet clear. We examined the changes in oxidative stress levels in both plasma of presbycusis patients and mice. To determine the expression of m6A and its functional enzymes, we used liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and RT-PCR to analyze the total RNA of presbycusis patients blood cells (n=8). Additionally, we detected the expression of m6A functional enzymes in the cochlea of presbycusis mice using immunohistochemistry. We assessed the effects of m6A methyltransferase METTL3 on SIRT1 protein expression, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and apoptosis in an oxidative stress model of organ of Corti 1 (OC1) cells. To observe the effect on SIRT1 protein expression, we interfered with the m6A recognition protein IGF2BP3 using siRNA. In both presbycusis patients and mice, there was an increased level of oxidative stress in plasma.There was a decrease in the expression of m6A, METTL3, and IGF2BP3 in presbycusis patients blood cells. The expression of METTL3 and IGF2BP3 was also reduced in the cochlea of presbycusis mice. In OC1 cells, METTL3 positively regulated SIRT1 protein levels, while reversely regulated the level of ROS and apoptosis. IGF2BP3 was found to be involved in the regulation of SIRT1 protein expression. Moreover, METTL3 might played a protective role in oxidative stress-induced injury of OC1 cells, while both METTL3 and IGF2BP3 cooperatively regulated the m6A level and fate of SIRT1 mRNA in OC1 cells.
