    Applications
    MYLK2, also known as myosin light chain kinase 2, is a protein that has been implicated in various biological processes and diseases. In prostate cancer, MYLK2 is upregulated by the demethylase FTO, which suppresses the progression of the disease. MYLK2 is also found to be strongly correlated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients. In addition, MYLK2 is associated with insulin sensitivity in muscle biopsies from healthy individuals, and its expression is altered in laying hens with keel bone fractures. Furthermore, MYLK2 is identified as one of the key genes influencing the racing phenotype in galloping racehorse breeds. These findings suggest that MYLK2 may have potential applications in cancer research, infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, and athletic performance.

    Research Highlights

    Wang, Zhenyu. et al. "Demethylase FTO inhibits the development of prostate cancer by upregulating EGR2 expression in an m6A manner." Turkish journal of biology = Turk biyoloji dergisi, 2022.
    The demethylase protein, fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO), has been found to play an important role in various cancers. However, its specific mechanisms in prostate cancer (PCa) remain unclear. As such, this study aimed to further understand the function and mechanisms of FTO in PCa. Through gain-of-function assays and RNA-seq techniques, it was discovered that FTO expression was lower in PCa tissues and cell lines compared to adjacent tissues and normal cells. Overexpression of FTO resulted in reduced proliferation, migration, and invasion capabilities in PCa cells. RNA-seq also revealed that FTO overexpression altered the transcriptome landscape and upregulated EGR2 expression in two PCa cell lines, namely Du145 and PC-3. This overexpression also caused changes in the expression of genes such as MYLK2, DNA2, CDK, and CDC (6, 7, 20, 25, and 45), mainly involved in regulating cell cycle and growth pathways. Furthermore, FTO overexpression was found to reduce the methylation level of EGR2. Knockdown of EGR2 was found to rescue the effects of FTO overexpression on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in Du145 cells. Moreover, FTO overexpression also showed potential in inhibiting tumor growth and promoting EGR2 protein expression. In conclusion, this study uncovered a previously unknown regulatory mechanism of FTO in PCa, and suggests that it could be a potential therapeutic target for the disease.

    The impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may be more severe and complicated as compared to other types of cancer. This can be attributed to various factors, including existing conditions like viral hepatitis and cirrhosis, which are often linked to HCC. In light of this, tailored management strategies may be necessary to improve the overall health outcomes of HCC patients who have contracted the virus.
