Intriguingly, the m6A demethylase FTO was found to preserve the transcription factors of bZIP family, including c-Jun, JunB and C/EBPβ, through its demethylation activity, thereby upregulating the expression of glycolytic genes in tumor cells and facilitating tumor progression (Liu et al., 2021). The gene discussed is CEBPB; the disease is neoplasm.
