Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification stands out among various RNA modifications as the predominant form within eukaryotic cells, influencing numerous cellular processes implicated in disease development. m6A modification has gained increasing attention in the development of atherosclerosis and has become a research hotspot in recent years. Programmed cell death (PCD), encompassing apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and necroptosis, plays a pivotal role in atherosclerosis pathogenesis. In this review, we delve into the intricate interplay between m6A modification and diverse PCD pathways, shedding light on their complex association during the onset and progression of atherosclerosis. Clarifying the relationship between m6A and PCD in atherosclerosis is of great significance to provide novel strategies for cardiovascular disease treatment.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Medicine is an open access journal that focuses on publishing recent findings related to disease pathogenesis at the molecular or physiological level. These insights can potentially contribute to the development of specific tools for disease diagnosis, treatment, or prevention. The journal considers manuscripts that present material pertinent to the genetic, molecular, or cellular underpinnings of critical physiological or disease processes. Submissions to Molecular Medicine are expected to elucidate the broader implications of the research findings for human disease and medicine in a manner that is accessible to a wide audience.
