In oral squamous cell carcinoma, METTL3 increases IGF2BP1-dependent mRNA m6A methylation of B cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1 (BMI1), a polycomb complex protein, thus promoting its mRNA translation by recruiting polysomes to BMI1 mRNA.43 This evidence concerns the gene BMI1 and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.
