Abstract
Currently, research on N6-methyladenine (m6A) is extensive in the field of oncology, while studies involving m6A and skin diseases remain relatively limited. Based on existing reports, we searched PubMed and Web of Science for literature related to m6A and dermatological conditions. Analysis of citation counts and journal impact factors revealed a significant upward trend in the volume of m6A-related research. Term frequency analysis of titles and abstracts indicated that studies mainly focus on skin tumors and inflammatory or immune-related skin diseases, particularly melanoma, psoriasis, and skin development. Transcriptomic data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were analyzed, revealing differential expression of m6A-related genes in 4 types of skin tumors (including squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma) as well as in inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, and potential mechanisms of action were also explored. Findings suggest that m6A modifications exhibit heterogeneity between neoplastic and non-neoplastic skin diseases. However, the regulatory mechanisms of m6A dynamic modifications on key genes involved in dermatological disorders remain unclear and warrant further investigation.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Central South University (Medical Sciences), founded in 1958, is a comprehensive academic journal of medicine and health sponsored by the Ministry of Education and Central South University. The journal has been included in many important databases and authoritative abstract journals at home and abroad, such as the American Medline, Pubmed and its Index Medicus (IM), the Netherlands Medical Abstracts (EM), the American Chemical Abstracts (CA), the WHO Western Pacific Region Medical Index (WPRIM), and the Chinese Science Citation Database (Core Database) (CSCD); it is a statistical source journal of Chinese scientific and technological papers, a Chinese core journal, and a "double-effect" journal of the Chinese Journal Matrix; it is the "2nd, 3rd, and 4th China University Excellent Science and Technology Journal", "2008 China Excellent Science and Technology Journal", "RCCSE China Authoritative Academic Journal (A+)" and Hunan Province's "Top Ten Science and Technology Journals". The purpose of the journal is to reflect the new achievements, new technologies, and new experiences in medical research, medical treatment, and teaching, report new medical trends at home and abroad, promote academic exchanges, improve academic standards, and promote scientific and technological progress.
