Description

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) deposition by METTL3 at specific sites within lncRNA-0021 (positions 180-220) recruits the YTHDF2 reader protein, which orchestrates a conformational change that exposes the miR-6361 binding site. In AD, reduced METTL3 activity leads to lncRNA-0021 hypermethylation or hypomethylation, either occluding the miR-6361 seed match or destabilizing the transcript. Therapeutic approaches using METTL3 activators or engineered m6A-modified lncRNA mimics could restore optimal miR-6361 sequestration and normalize downstream ceRNA networks.

Dimension Scores

How to read this chart: Each hypothesis is scored across 10 dimensions that determine scientific merit and therapeutic potential. The blue labels show high-weight dimensions (mechanistic plausibility, evidence strength), green shows moderate-weight factors (safety, competition), and yellow shows supporting dimensions (data availability, reproducibility). Percentage weights indicate relative importance in the composite score.
