The Mechanism of Oxymatrine Targeting miR-27a-3p/PPAR-γ Signaling Pathway through m6A Modification to Regulate the Influence on Hemangioma Stem Cells on Propranolol Resistance

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

OBJECTIVE: The proliferation and migration of hemangioma stem cells (HemSCs) induced apoptosis and adipose differentiation as well as increased the sensitivity of HemSCs to propranolol (PPNL). MiR-27a-3p negatively controlled the peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) level, counteracting the effect of PPAR-γ on HemSC progression and PPNL resistance. OMT accelerated HemSC progression and adipocyte differentiation via modulating the miR-27a-3p/PPAR-γ axis, inhibiting HemSC resistance to PPNL. In tumor-forming experiments, OMT exhibited a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the volume of IH PPNL-resistant tumors, which was partially dependent on the regulation of m6A methylation transfer enzyme METTL3 and the miR-27a-3p/PPAR-γ axis, thereby inducing apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that OMT regulates IH and influences PPNL resistance via targeting the miR-27a-3p/PPAR-γ signaling pathway through m6A modification.
