Background:  N6-methyladenosine (m 6 A) is the most abundant modification in eukaryotic mRNA. However, its role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been completely elucidated. Objective:  To explore whether methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3) in cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) affects the secretion of IL-18, which drives NSCLC cells to regulate PD-L1-mediated immunosuppression via the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway. Methods:  Histopathological features of NSCLC tissues were identified by H&amp;E and IHC staining. The levels of m 6 A writers (METTL3), IL-18 and NF-κB pathway related genes were assessed. The quantity of CD8+ T cells was evaluated by flow cytometry (FCM). The direct binding relationship between METTL3 and IL-18 mRNA was detected by RIP assay and RNA pulldown and confirmed by dual – luciferase reporter assay. The level of RNA m 6 A was detected by RNA m 6 A dot blot and meRIP assays. A heterotopic implantation model of NSCLC was established in NOD-SCID mice for further explore the effect of CAF derived METTL3 on immunosuppression of NSCLC  invivo . Results:  Our results illustrated that METTL3 was down-regulated in CAFs, and CAF derived METTL3 alleviated PD-L1-mediated immunosuppression of NSCLC through IL-18. Subsequently, we found that IL-18 was main effector of CAF-derived METTL3 against immunosuppression of NSCLC, and IL-18 accelerated immunosuppression of NSCLC by driving NF-κB pathway.  In vivo , METTL3 knockdown-derived CAFs accelerated immunosuppression of NSCLC. Conclusion:  IL-18 served as a main effector of CAF-derived METTL3 against immunosuppression of NSCLC via driving NF-κB pathway.
