Integrated m6A reader network in acute myeloid leukemia: prognostic modeling, immune modulation, and functional validation of YTHDF3. (PubMed, Int Immunopharmacol)
High-risk patients exhibited heightened sensitivity to targeted therapies (e.g., dasatinib and olaparib), suggesting actionable therapeutic vulnerabilities. Functional studies identified YTHDF3 as a novel oncogenic driver that is significantly overexpressed in AML, where its knockdown suppressed proliferation, induced apoptosis, and stabilized leukemogenic transcripts (ZZZ3, KLHL11) via the regulation of mRNA stability. This integrative study reveals the m6A reader network as a central orchestrator of AML progression, provides a validated prognostic framework for risk-adapted therapy, and positions YTHDF3 as a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target, bridging RNA epigenetics with clinical translation in AML.
