abstract = {Background: N -methyladenosine (m A) methylation is a common class of RNA modification. Similar to DNA methylation, m6A methylation regulates most mRNA expressions. At present, most research has found that m6A methylation is related to tumorigenesis and development; however, there are few studies about hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to analyze the expression level of m6A methylation regulators and their correlation on the clinical features in HCC.
Methods: A total of 13 m6A methylation regulators were evaluated. mRNA data and clinical information were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The Wilcoxon test was utilized to analyze the differences between m6A RNA methylation regulators, and Pearson’s test was used to test the correlation between them. We constructed a tumor subgroup model based on the 13 molecules used for the analysis of the correlations with the clinical features. Two genes (ZC3H13 and YTHDF2) screened by Cox and LASSO regression were used to construct a tumor risk model for analyzing the correlations with clinical features. Finally, we verified the expression of the two molecules in liver cancer and adjacent tissues by Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (n=6). P},
