METTL3 and atherosclerosis: The RT‐qPCR and western blotting results showed that both mRNA and protein levels of METTL3 and METTL14 in the aortas of mice in the atherosclerosis group were notably increased compared with mRNA and protein levels of METTL3 and METTL14 in the Control group (p < .05) (Figure 1B,C).
