Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a prevalent oral malignancy, which poses significant health risks with high mortality rate. Regulatory T cells (Tregs), characterized by their immunosuppressive capabilities, are intricately linked to OSCC progression and patient outcomes. The metabolic reprogramming of Tregs within the tumor microenvironment (TME) underpins function, key pathways such as tryptophan-kynurenine-aryl hydrocarbon receptor, PI3K-Akt-mTOR nucleotide metabolism significantly contributing suppressive activities.

Abstract Background Post‐menopausal women experience more severe muscular fatty infiltration, though the mechanisms remain unclear. The decline in estrogen levels is considered as a critical physiological alteration during post‐menopause. Fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are identified major contributors to infiltration. This study aimed investigate detailed mechanism underlying excessive infiltration postmenopausal females. Methods Supraspinatus muscle samples were collected from female patients with or without menopause, and mice ovariectomy (OVX), evaluate isolated FAPs. expressions of (estrogen receptor 1) ESR1, methyltransferase‐like 3 (METTL3), adipogenesis ability FAPs post‐menopausal OVX investigated. RNA sequencing (RNA‐Seq) was performed explore gene expression profiles potential Pdgfrα‐CreERT2; Esr1 knockout (Esr1 KO) flox/flox f/f) mice. interplay METTL3‐ESR1 mediated loop its role regulating investigated using dual luciferase reporter assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), protein stability assays. effects supplementation on locomotor function evaluated by immunofluorescent staining functional analysis. Results Decreased ESR1/METTL3 increased found female. METTL3‐mediated m6A methylation promoted ESR1 mRNA at post‐transcriptional level modification stabilizing mRNA, while acted transcription factor that enhanced METTL3 turn. also suppressed adipogenic peroxisome proliferator‐activated gamma (PPARγ), thereby inhibiting Reactivation alleviated women, it reduced improved Conclusion Excessive arose disruption due deficiency. may serve novel intervention inhibit FAPs, ameliorating improving Key points Oestrogen insufficiency disrupted METTL3ESR1 causing stabilized expression, further transcription. inhibited PPARγ, Reactivating via oestrogen function.
