ABSTRACT

m6A methylation has been demonstrated to be one of the most important epigenetic regulation mechanisms in cell differentiation and cancer development especially m6A derived diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers have been identified in the past several years. However, systemic investigation to the interaction between germline single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and m6A has not been conducted yet. In this study, we collected previous identified significant thyroid cancer associated SNPs from UKB cohort (358 cases and 407,399 controls) and ICR cohort (3,001 patients and 287,550 controls) and thyroid eQTL (sample size = 574 from GTEx project) and m6A-SNP (N = 1,678,126) were applied to prioritize the candidate SNPs. Finally, five candidate genes (PLEKHA8, SMUG1, CDC123, RMI2, ACSM5) were identified to be thyroid cancer associated m6A-related genetic suscepti bility. Loss and gain function studies of m6A writer proteins confirm that ACSM5 is regulated by m6A methylation of mRNA. Moreover, ACSM5 is downregulated in thyroid cancer and inversely correlated with PTC malignancy and patient survival. Together, our study highlight mRNA-seq and m6A-seq double analysis provided a novel approach to identify cancer biomarkers and understanding the heterogeneity of human cancers.
