Oncometabolite D-2HG drives tumor metastasis and protumoral macrophage polarization by targeting FTO/m6A/ANGPTL4/integrin axis in triple-negative breast cancer by Siyue Zhang, Ning Zhang, Tong Wan, Yinqiao He, Jie Hao, Yiwei Liu, Yidong Liu, Bing Chen, Wenjing Zhao, Lijuan Wang, Dan Luo, Chao Gao, Qifeng Yang

“…Mechanistically, D-2HG enhanced global m6A RNA modifications in TNBC cells, notably upregulating m6A modification on ANGPTL4 mRNA, which was mediated by the inhibition of Fat-mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO), resulting in increased recognition of m6A-modified ANGPTL4 by YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein F1 (YTHDF1), thereby promoting the enhanced translation of ANGPTL4. As a secretory protein, ANGPTL4 subsequently activated the integrin-mediated JAK2/STAT3 signaling cascade in TNBC cells through autocrine signaling. …”
