The mRNA m6A reader YTHDF2 is overexpressed in a broad spectrum of human acute myeloid leukemias (AML). To study the role of YTHDF2 on mRNA decay rates in leukemia, c-Kit+ cells from foetal livers of Ythdf2fl/fl; Vav-iCre (Ythdf2CKO) and Ythdf2fl/fl (Ythdf2CTL) 14.5 dpc embryos were transduced with Meis1 and Hoxa9 oncogenes and serially re-plated to generate pre-leukemic cells. Medium with 4SU was used for pre-leukemic cells labelling for 12 hours and was later replaced with 4SU-free medium (time 0). Cells were collected immediately after medium change and at 1, 3 and 9 hours for library generation. RNA from Ythdf2CKO (n=3 biological replicates) and Ythdf2CTL (n=3 biological replicates) pre-leukemic cells were used for SLAM-seq library generation. |
