Table_4_m6A RNA Methylation Regulators Act as Potential Prognostic Biomarkers in Lung Adenocarcinoma.DOCX

N6-methyladenosine [m(6)A/m6A] methylation is one of the most common RNA modifications in eukaryotic cell mRNA and plays an important regulatory role in mRNA metabolism, splicing, translocation, stability, and translation. Previous studies have demonstrated that the m6A modification is highly associated with tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In the present study, five m6A regulatory factors have been revealed, namely heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1(HNRNPA2B1), heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (HNRNPC), Vir like m6A methyltransferase associated protein (KIAA1429/VIRMA), RNA binding motif protein 15 (RBM15) and methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3), which are closely related to the overall survival (OS) of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). These five m6A regulatory factors exhibited potential prognostic value for the 1, 3, and 5-years survival outcomes of LUAD patients. Our findings revealed that several signaling pathways, such as cell cycle, DNA replication, RNA degradation, RNA polymerase, nucleotide excision repair and basal transcription factors, are activated in the high-risk group of LUAD patients.
