BACKGROUND: Corneal neovascularization (CNV) can be caused by chemical burns. Macrophages are involved in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis during CNV. The aim of this study was to investigate whether Wilms' tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) is involved in macrophage recruitment and VEGF secretion via N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification.
METHODS: A CNV mouse model was established by corneal alkali burn. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) was used to stimulate vascular endothelial cells. m6A immunoprecipitation qPCR was used to determine the enrichment of m6A levels in mRNAs. The H3K9me3 enrichment in the promoter region of CC motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) was detected by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. The WTAP inhibition in vivo was performed using the adeno-associated virus.
RESULTS: In the alkali burn corneal tissues, angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis were promoted as CD31 and LYVE-1 expressions were elevated, and the number of macrophages as well as WTAP expression were increased. Under the TNF-α stimulation, WTAP promoted the recruitment of endothelial cells to macrophages by promoting CCL2 secretion. Mechanistically, WTAP affected the enrichment of H3K9me3 at the CCL2 promoter by regulating the m6A level of SUV39H1 mRNA. The in vivo experiment showed that VEGFA/C/D secretion of macrophages was reduced after WTAP interference. Mechanistically, WTAP regulated the translational efficiency of HIF-1α via m6A modification.
CONCLUSION: WTAP affected macrophage recruitment to endothelial cells via regulation of H3K9me3-mediated CCL2 transcription. WTAP also affected macrophage secretion of VEGFA/C/D via m6A-mediated translation regulation of HIF-1α. Both pathways were involved in the WTAP regulation of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis during CNV.
