m6A Reader PRRC2A Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression via CK1ε‐Mediated Activation of WNT and YAP Signaling Pathways by Xi Wu, Shiyang Wang, Yuwei Pan, Mengzhen Li, Manyu Song, Hanfu Zhang, Min Deng, Xu Yang, Jiuzhi Xu, Shuo Zhang, Jinhua Zhang, Fengchao Wang, Maksim V. Plikus, Cong Lv, Lu Yu, Zhengquan Yu

“…In this work, a recently identified m6A‐modified RNA reader protein Proline‐rich Coiled‐coil 2a (PRRC2A) is markedly upregulated in CRC, and intestinal epithelium‐specific deletion of Prrc2a significantly suppressed tumor cell growth, stemness, and migratory capacity, while its overexpression promoted these behaviors. Through multiomics analysis, PRRC2A directly targeted CSNK1E (encoding CK1ε), maintaining its RNA stability in an m6A‐dependent manner, and that elevated CK1ε can concomitantly result in activation of the WNT and YAP signaling pathways. …”
