Mettl3-dependent m6A modification is essential for effector differentiation and memory formation of CD8+T cells

Efficient immune responses rely on the proper differentiation of CD8+T cells into effector and memory cells.Here,we show a critical requirement of N6-Methyladenosine(m6A)methyltransferase Mettl3 dur-ing CD8+T cell responses upon acute viral infection.Conditional deletion of Mettl3 in CD8+T cells impairs effector expansion and terminal differentiation in an m6A-dependent manner,subsequently affecting memory formation and the secondary response of CD8+T cells.Our combined RNA-seq and m6A-miCLIP-seq analyses reveal that Mettl3 deficiency broadly impacts the expression of cell cycle and tran-scriptional regulators.Remarkably,Mettl3 binds to the Tbx21 transcript and stabilizes it,promoting effec-tor differentiation of CD8+T cells.Moreover,ectopic expression of T-bet partially restores the defects in CD8+T cell differentiation in the absence of Mettl3.Thus,our study highlights the role of Mettl3 in reg-ulating multiple target genes in an m6A-dependent manner and underscores the importance of m6A mod-ification during CD8+T cell response.
