Abstract
RNA modifications affect key stages of the RNA life cycle, including splicing, export, decay, and translation. Epitranscriptomic regulations therefore significantly influence cellular physiology and pathophysiology. Here, we selected some of the most abundant modifications and reviewed their roles in the heart and in cardiovascular diseases: N6-methyladenosine (m6A), N6,2'-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am), N1-methyladenosine (m1A), pseudouridine (?), 5 methylcytidine (m5C), and inosine (I). Dysregulation of epitranscriptomic machinery affecting these modifications vastly changes the cardiac phenotype and is linked with many cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathies, or heart failure. Thus, a deeper understanding of these epitranscriptomic changes and their regulatory mechanisms can enhance our knowledge of the molecular underpinnings of prevalent cardiac diseases, potentially paving the way for novel therapeutic strategies. Keywords: Epitranscriptomics, RNA modifications, Epigenetics, m6A, RNA, Heart.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
