Abstract
Methylation is a vital chemical reaction in the metabolism of many drugs, neurotransmitters, hormones, and exogenous compounds. Among them, S-methylation plays a significant role in the biotransformation of sulfur-containing compounds, particularly chemicals with sulfhydryl groups. Currently, only three S-methyltransferases have been reported: thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT), thiol methyltransferase (TMT), and thioether methyltransferase (TEMT). These enzymes are involved in various biological processes such as gene regulation, signal transduction, protein repair, tumor progression, and biosynthesis and degradation reactions in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Furthermore, they play pivotal roles in the metabolic pathways of essential drugs and contribute to the advancement of diseases such as tumors. This paper reviews the research progress on relevant structural features, metabolic mechanisms, inhibitor development, and influencing factors (gene polymorphism, S-adenosylmethionine level, race, sex, age, and disease) of S-methyltransferases. We hope that a better comprehension of S-methyltransferases will help to provide a reference for the development of novel strategies for related disorders and improve long-term efficacy.

[PMID: 37543576 PMCID: PMC10403952 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11222-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Low grade glioma (LGG) is considered a heterogeneous tumor with highly variable survival and limited efficacy of immunotherapy. To identify high-risk subsets and apply immunotherapy effectively in LGG, the status and function of immune infiltration in the glioma microenvironment must be explored. METHODS Four independent glioma cohorts comprising 1,853 patients were enrolled for bioinformatics analysis. We used ConsensusClusterPlus to cluster patients into four different immune subtypes based on immune infiltration. The immune-infiltration signature (IIS) was constructed by LASSO regression analysis. Somatic mutation and copy number variation (CNV) analyses were performed to explore genomic and transcriptomic traits in the high- and low- risk groups. The correlation between response to programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) blockade and the IIS risk score was confirmed in an in vivo glioma model. RESULTS Patients were clustered into four different immune subtypes based on immune infiltration, and the high immune infiltration subtype was associated with worse survival in LGG. The high immune infiltration subtype had stronger inflammatory response, immune response and immune cell chemotaxis. The IIS, consisting of EMP3, IQGAP2, METTL7B, SLC1A6 and TNFRSF11B, could predict LGG malignant progression, which was validated with internal clinical samples. M2 macrophage infiltration positively correlated with the IIS risk score. The high-risk group had significantly more somatic mutations and CNVs. The IIS risk score was related to immunomodulatory molecules and could predict immunotherapy clinical benefit. In vivo, immunotherapy-sensitive glioma model exhibited higher IIS risk score and more infiltration of immune cells, especially M2 macrophages. The IIS risk score was decreased in an immunotherapy-sensitive glioma model after anti-PD1 immunotherapy. CONCLUSION Different immune subtypes of LGG had unique immune cell infiltration characteristics, and the high immune infiltration subtype was associated with immunosuppressive signaling pathways. A novel IIS prognostic model based on immune infiltration status was constructed for immunophenotypic classification, risk stratification, prognostication and immunotherapy response prediction in LGG.

Abstract
RNA modification has recently become a significant process of gene regulation, and the methyltransferase-like (METTL) family of proteins plays a critical role in RNA modification, methylating various types of RNAs, including mRNA, tRNA, microRNA, rRNA, and mitochondrial RNAs. METTL proteins consist of a unique seven-beta-strand domain, which binds to the methyl donor SAM to catalyze methyl transfer. The most typical family member METTL3/METTL14 forms a methyltransferase complex involved in N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of RNA, regulating tumor proliferation, metastasis and invasion, immunotherapy resistance, and metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells. METTL1, METTL4, METTL5, and METTL16 have also been recently identified to have some regulatory ability in tumorigenesis, and the rest of the METTL family members rely on their methyltransferase activity for methylation of different nucleotides, proteins, and small molecules, which regulate translation and affect processes such as cell differentiation and development. Herein, we summarize the literature on METTLs in the last three years to elucidate their roles in human cancers and provide a theoretical basis for their future use as potential therapeutic targets.

Russell DA, Chau MK, Shi Y, Levasseur IN, Maldonato BJ, Totah RA. METTL7A (TMT1A) and METTL7B (TMT1B) Are Responsible for Alkyl S-Thiol Methyl Transferase Activity in Liver. Drug Metab Dispos 2023; 51:1024-1034. [PMID: 37137720 PMCID: PMC10353073 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.123.001268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023] Open
Abstract
S-methylation of drugs containing thiol-moieties often alters their activity and results in detoxification. Historically, scientists attributed methylation of exogenous aliphatic and phenolic thiols to a putative S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)-dependent membrane-associated enzyme referred to as thiol methyltransferase (TMT). This putative TMT appeared to have a broad substrate specificity and methylated the thiol metabolite of spironolactone, mertansine, ziprasidone, captopril, and the active metabolites of the thienopyridine prodrugs, clopidogrel, and prasugrel. Despite TMT's role in the S-methylation of clinically relevant drugs, the enzyme(s) responsible for this activity remained unknown. We recently identified methyltransferase-like protein 7B (METTL7B) as an alkyl thiol methyltransferase. METTL7B is an endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein with similar biochemical properties and substrate specificity to the putative TMT. Yet, the historic TMT inhibitor 2,3-dichloro-α-methylbenzylamine (DCMB) did not inhibit METTL7B, indicating that multiple enzymes contribute to TMT activity. Here we report that methyltransferase-like protein 7A (METTL7A), an uncharacterized member of the METTL7 family, is also a SAM-dependent thiol methyltransferase. METTL7A exhibits similar biochemical properties to METTL7B and putative TMT, including inhibition by DCMB (IC50 = 1.17 μM). Applying quantitative proteomics to human liver microsomes and gene modulation experiments in HepG2 and HeLa cells, we determined that TMT activity correlates closely with METTL7A and METTL7B protein levels. Furthermore, purification of a novel His-GST-tagged recombinant protein and subsequent activity experiments prove that METTL7A can selectively methylate exogenous thiol-containing substrates, including 7α-thiospironolactone, dithiothreitol, 4-chlorothiophenol, and mertansine. We conclude that the METTL7 family encodes for two enzymes, METTL7A and METTL7B, which are now renamed thiol methyltransferase 1A (TMT1A) and thiol methyltransferase 1B (TMT1B), respectively, that are responsible for thiol methylation activity in human liver microsomes. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: We identified methyltransferase-like protein 7A (thiol methyltransferase 1A) and methyltransferase-like protein 7B (thiol methyltransferase 1B) as the enzymes responsible for the microsomal alkyl thiol methyltransferase (TMT) activity. These are the first two enzymes directly associated with microsomal TMT activity. S-methylation of commonly prescribed thiol-containing drugs alters their pharmacological activity and/or toxicity, and identifying the enzymes responsible for this activity will improve our understanding of the drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) properties of alkyl- or phenolic thiol-containing therapeutics.

Abstract
Methyltransferases are enzymes fundamental to a wide range of normal biological activities that can become dysregulated during oncogenesis. For instance, the recent description of the methyltransferase-like (METTL) family of enzymes, has demonstrated the importance of the N6-adenosine-methyltransferase (m6A) modification in transcripts in the context of malignant transformation. Because of their importance, numerous METTL family members have been biochemically characterized to identify their cellular substrates, however some members such as METTL7B, recently renamed TMT1B and which is the subject of this review, remain enigmatic. First identified in the stacked Golgi, TMT1B is also localized to the endoplasmic reticulum as well as lipid droplets and has been reported as being upregulated in a wide range of cancer types including lung cancer, gliomas, and leukemia. Interestingly, despite evidence that TMT1B might act on protein substrates, it has also been shown to act on small molecule alkyl thiol substrates such as hydrogen sulfide, and its loss has been found to affect cellular proliferation and migration. Here we review the current evidence for TMT1B's activity, localization, and potential biological role in the context of both normal and cancerous cell types.

Abstract
Background Lung cancer is a common comorbidity of heart failure (HF). The early identification of the risk factors for lung cancer in patients with HF is crucial to early diagnosis and prognosis. Furthermore, oxidative stress and immune responses are the two critical biological processes shared by HF and lung cancer. Therefore, our study aimed to select the core genes in HF and then investigate the potential mechanisms underlying HF and lung cancer, including oxidative stress and immune responses through the selected genes. Methods Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed for HF using datasets extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Functional enrichment analysis was subsequently performed. Next, weighted gene co-expression network analysis was performed to select the core gene modules. Support vector machine models, the random forest method, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm were applied to construct a multigene signature. The diagnostic values of the signature genes were measured using receiver operating characteristic curves. Functional analysis of the signature genes and immune landscape was performed using single-sample gene set enrichment analysis. Finally, the oxidative stress-related genes in these signature genes were identified and validated in vitro in lung cancer cell lines. Results The DEGs in the GSE57338 dataset were screened, and this dataset was then clustered into six modules using weighted gene co-expression network analysis; MEblue was significantly associated with HF (cor = -0.72, p < 0.001). Signature genes including extracellular matrix protein 2 (ECM2), methyltransferase-like 7B (METTL7B), meiosis-specific nuclear structural 1 (MNS1), and secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) were selected using support vector machine models, the LASSO algorithm, and the random forest method. The respective areas under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic curves of ECM2, METTL7B, MNS1, and SFRP4 were 0.939, 0.854, 0.941, and 0.926, respectively. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis revealed significant differences in the immune landscape of the patients with HF and healthy subjects. Functional analysis also suggested that these signature genes may be involved in oxidative stress. In particular, METTL7B was highly expressed in lung cancer cell lines. Meanwhile, the correlation between METTL7B and oxidative stress was further verified using flow cytometry. Conclusion We identified that ECM2, METTL7B, MNS1, and SFRP4 exhibit remarkable diagnostic performance in patients with HF. Of note, METTL7B may be involved in the co-occurrence of HF and lung cancer by affecting the oxidative stress immune responses.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is widely considered an immunoresponsive malignancy. However, potential association between glycolysis-immune related genes and AML patients' prognosis has been seldom studied. AML-related data was downloaded from TCGA and GEO databases. We grouped patients according to Glycolysis status, Immune Score and combination analysis, basing on which overlapped differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. The Risk Score model was then established. The results showed that totally 142 overlapped genes were probably correlated with glycolysis-immunity in AML patients, among which 6 optimal genes were screened to construct Risk Score. High Risk Score was an independent poor prognostic factor for AML. In conclusion, we established a relatively reliable prognostic signature of AML based on glycolysis-immunity related genes, including METTL7B, HTR7, ITGAX, TNNI2, SIX3 and PURG.

Abstract
Background Gliomas are the most common and most malignant primary tumors of the adult central nervous system, but their etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. This study was aimed at investigating the expression and function of lncRNA PDCD4-AS1 in glioma and elucidating the mechanism by which PDCD4-AS1 regulates the biological features of glioma. Method The expression of PDCD4-AS1 was determined by bioinformatic analysis and qRT-PCR assay. PDCD4-AS1 was knocked down in glioma cells using siRNA transfection. The functional analysis of cells was conducted using CCK-8 proliferation, cell migration, and invasion assays, as well as cell cycle analysis. An in vivo tumorigenesis assay was performed to investigate the role of PDCD4-AS1 knockdown in glioma tumor growth. We performed bioinformatic analysis, RNA pull-down, and luciferase reporter assays to investigate the downstream targets of PDCD4-AS1. A rescue experiment was then performed to confirm the regulating mechanism. Results PDCD4-AS1 was found to be significantly upregulated in glioma patients' tumor tissues and cell lines. The silencing of PDCD4-AS1 inhibited glioma cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and induced cell cycle arrest. In vivo experiments showed that silencing PDCD4-AS1 inhibited glioma tumor growth. An investigation of the underlying mechanism suggested that PDCD4-AS1 positively regulated METTL7B expression by sponging miR-30b-3. Both the knockdown of miR-30b-3p and the overexpression of METTL7B could, respectively, reverse the malignant phenotype of cells affected by silencing PDCD4-AS1. Conclusion These results demonstrate that PDCD4-AS1 exerted an oncogenic role by regulating the miR-30b-3p/METTL7B axis.

Abstract
Glioma is characterized as the most aggressive brain tumor that occurred in the central nervous system. The circadian rhythm is an essential cyclic change system generated by the endogenous circadian clock. Current studies found that the circadian clock affects glioma pathophysiology. It is still controversial whether the circadian rhythm disruption is a cause or an effect of tumorigenesis. This review discussed the association between cell cycle and circadian clock and provided a prominent molecular theoretical basis for tumor therapy. We illustrated the external factors affecting the circadian clock including thermodynamics, hypoxia, post-translation, and microRNA, while the internal characteristics concerning the circadian clock in glioma involve stemness, metabolism, radiotherapy sensitivity, and chemotherapy sensitivity. We also summarized the molecular pathways and the therapeutic drugs involved in the glioma circadian rhythm. There are still many questions in this field waiting for further investigation. The results of glioma chronotherapy in sensitizing radiation therapy and chemotherapy have shown great therapeutic potential in improving clinical outcomes. These findings will help us further understand the characteristics of glioma pathophysiology.

Abstract
Methanethiol is a widely existing malodorous pollutant with health effects on the human population. However, the cytotoxicity mechanism of methanethiol in vitro and its metabolic transformation (bioactivation or detoxification) have not been fully elucidated. Herein, the metabolites of methanethiol during cell culture and the cytotoxicity of methanethiol in human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) cells were investigated. Results indicate that methanethiol (10-50 μM) was partially converted into dimethyl sulfide, mainly catalyzed by thiol S-methyltransferase in the 16HBE cells, and then it induced potent cytotoxicity and cell membrane permeability. Moreover, methanethiol induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) up to 50 μM and further activated the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway, which eventually led to the decline in the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and cell necrosis. However, all these effects were significantly alleviated with gene silencing of the methyltransferase-like protein 7B (METTL7B). These results indicate that methanethiol may induce cell necrosis in human respiratory tract cells mainly mediated by S-methyltransferase with interfering TNF and ROS induction. Non-target metabolomics results suggest that methanethiol potently affects expression of endogenous small molecule metabolites in 16HBE cells. To some extent, this work shows the possible conversion path and potential injury mechanism of human respiratory tract cells exposed to methanethiol.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults with very poor prognosis. The limited new therapeutic strategies for glioma patients can be partially attributed to the complex tumor microenvironment. However, knowledge about the glioma immune microenvironment and the associated regulatory mechanisms is still lacking. In this study, we found that, different immune subtypes have a significant impact on patient survival. Glioma patients with a high immune response subtype had a shorter survival compared with patients with a low immune response subtype. Moreover, the number of B cell, T cell, NK cell, and in particular, the macrophage in the immune microenvironment of patients with a high immune response subtype were significantly enhanced. In addition, 132 genes were found to be related to glioma immunity. The functional analysis and verification of seven core genes showed that their expression levels were significantly correlated with the prognosis of glioma patients, and the results were consistent at tissue levels. These findings indicated that the glioma immune microenvironment was significantly correlated with the prognosis of glioma patients and multiple genes were involved in regulating the progression of glioma. The identified genes could be used to stratify glioma patients based on immune subgroup analysis, which may guide their clinical treatment regimen.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM), a predominant central nervous system (CNS) malignancy, is correlated with high mortality and severe morbidity. Mammalian methyltransferase-like 7B (METTL7B) as a methyltransferase has been identified to participate in cancer progression. However, its function in GBM is elusive. Accordingly, we aimed to explore the effect of METTL7B on GBM. The expression of METTL7B and EGR2 in GBM patients and GBM cells were detected by qPCR, western blots and immunohistochemical staining. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assays. Cell proliferation was determined by EdU, colony formation, and tumor sphere formation assays. METTL7B shRNA was injected into the Balb/c nude mice. The size and weight of isolated tumor was measured. And the expression levels of Ki67, METTL7B and EGR1 were examined by immunohistochemical staining. METTL7B was significantly elevated, while EGR1 was downregulated in clinical GBM tissues. METTL7B upregulation was associated with the low overall survival of GBM patients. Moreover, METTL7B depletion remarkably attenuated GBM cell proliferation. Mechanistically, METTL7B overexpression inhibited EGR1 expression in GBM cells. EGR1 knockdown rescued the inhibitory effect of METTL7B depletion on GBM cell proliferation. Meanwhile, METTL7B depletion arrested more GBM cells at the G0/G1, but fewer cells at the S phase, which EGR1 knockdown reversed these effects. Furthermore, tumorigenicity analysis revealed that METTL7B promotes tumor growth of GBM cells in vivo. METTL7B contributes to the malignant progression of GBM by inhibiting EGR1 expression. METTL7B and EGR1 may be utilized as the treatment targets for GBM therapy.

The MicroRNA-106a/20b Strongly Enhances the Antitumour Immune Responses of Dendritic Cells Pulsed with Glioma Stem Cells by Targeting STAT3. J Immunol Res 2022; 2022:9721028. [PMID: 36157880 PMCID: PMC9499788 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9721028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 08/28/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/08/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluate the effect of the miRNA-106a/20b on the efficacy of DCs pulsed with GSCs in activating GSC-specific T cell responses. METHODS We cultured GSCs and prepared GSC antigen lysates by apoptosis. Then, immature DCs were pulsed with GSC antigen lysates in vitro. STAT3 levels in DCs were assessed by Western blotting, and the expression of CD80, CD86, and MHC-II was tested by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The production and secretion of the cytokines IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α, and IL-10 in DCs induced by GSCs were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Finally, the cytotoxic functions of T cells stimulated by GSC-DC fusion cells transfected with a miR-106a/20b mimic in vitro and the antitumour activity in vivo were detected. RESULTS We found that the levels of miR-106a/20b were downregulated, but the expression of STAT3 was significantly upregulated. Simultaneously, the inhibition of STAT3 in the fusion cells by STAT3-specific siRNA caused significant upregulation of the expression of CD80, CD86, and MHC-II, and the secretion of the cytokines IL-6 and IL-12 was substantially increased, IL-10 was markedly decreased. These findings revealed that STAT3 is an important regulator of DC maturation. Furthermore, the interactional binding sites between the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of STAT3 mRNA and miR-106a/20b were predicted by bioinformatics and verified by a dual-luciferase assay. Moreover, the reduction in STAT3 levels in GSC-DCs enhanced the generation of CD8+ T cells and reduced the generation of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, the secretion of the T cell cytokine IFN-γ was significantly increased. Further research showed that DCs after miR-106a/20b-mimics transfection could promote the inhibition of GSC proliferation by T cells in vitro and suppress tumour growth in vivo. CONCLUSIONS This study indicted that the miR-106a/20b activation could be one of the important molecular mechanisms leading to enhance antitumour immune responses of GSC-mediated DCs, which downregulated the expression of STAT3 to alleviate its the inhibitory effect.

Front Cell Dev Biol 2021; 9:717601. [PMID: 34650972 PMCID: PMC8507498 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.717601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) has been recognized to be associated with sensitivity to immunotherapy and patient prognosis. Recent research demonstrates that assessing the TIME patterns on large-scale samples will expand insights into TIME and will provide guidance to formulate immunotherapy strategies for tumors. However, until now, thorough research has not yet been reported on the immune infiltration landscape of glioma. Herein, the CIBERSORT algorithm was used to unveil the TIME landscape of 1,975 glioma observations. Three TIME subtypes were established, and the TIMEscore was calculated by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)–Cox analysis. The high TIMEscore was distinguished by an elevated tumor mutation burden (TMB) and activation of immune-related biological process, such as IL6-JAK-STAT3 signaling and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) response, which may demonstrate that the patients with high TIMEscore were more sensitive to immunotherapy. Multivariate analysis revealed that the TIMEscore could strongly and independently predict the prognosis of gliomas [Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) cohort: hazard ratio (HR): 2.134, p < 0.001; Gravendeel cohort: HR: 1.872, p < 0.001; Kamoun cohort: HR: 1.705, p < 0.001; The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort: HR: 2.033, p < 0.001; the combined cohort: HR: 1.626, p < 0.001], and survival advantage was evident among those who received chemotherapy. Finally, we validated the performance of the signature in human tissues from Wuhan University (WHU) dataset (HR: 15.090, p = 0.008). Our research suggested that the TIMEscore could be applied as an effective predictor for adjuvant therapy and prognosis assessment.
