Furthermore, METTL3 enhances the stability of SOX2 mRNA, protecting glioma stem-like cells from radiation cytotoxicity [95], and METTL3-induced stabilization of nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) and the activation of the miR-3773p/Nampt axis confer neuroprotection in ischemic injury [96]. Here, METTL3 is linked to central nervous system cancer.
