Nephrotoxicity of colistin is the major factor limiting its clinical application. However, the exact mechanism of colistin-induced nephrotoxicity is still elusive. N-6-Methyladenosine (m(6)A) modification has been implicated in many biological processes, however, its role in colistin-induced nephrotoxicity needs to be elucidated. Mouse renal tubular epithelial cells (mRTECs) were treated with 200 mu M colistin with or without METTL3 overexpression. Cells injury, m(6)A assay, oxidative stress and apoptosis were examined. Levels of m(6)A are decreased after colistin treatment in mRTECs. METTL3 is the major factor involved in abnormal m(6)A modification. METTL3 overexpression plays a protective role against colistin-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis. Moreover, METTL3 interacts with the microprocessor protein DGCR8 and positively modulates miR-873-5p mature process in an m(6)A-dependent manner. Further experiments show that miR-873-5p could regulate Keap1-Nrf2 pathway against colistin-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis. These studies revealed an important role of METTL3/m(6)A in colistin-induced nephrotoxicity and provide a new insight on m(6)A modification in drug induced toxicity.
