The role of m6A in lipid metabolism-related diseases
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification represents one of the most abundant RNA epigenetic modifications in eukaryote organisms. This modification plays a crucial role in various RNA processing events through the actions of m6A methyltransferases, demethylases, and recognition proteins, thereby influencing a wide array of biological processes. Notably, the significance of m6A modification in lipid metabolism, along with its underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms, is increasingly being elucidated. The regulation of lipid metabolism is intricately linked to the maintenance of energy homeostasis, and disruptions in lipid metabolism are characteristic of numerous diseases, including obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease. This review comprehensively summarizes the pivotal role and molecular mechanisms of m6A modification in diseases related to lipid metabolism, such as obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular atherosclerosis. Additionally, it introduces pharmacological agents, plant extracts, and small molecule compounds that target m6A regulatory factors. This work provides theoretical references for the development of future therapeutic strategies targeting m6A modifications to treat diseases related to lipid metabolism.
期刊介绍:
Advancing Life Sciences R&D: SLAS Discovery reports how scientists develop and utilize novel technologies and/or approaches to provide and characterize chemical and biological tools to understand and treat human disease.
SLAS Discovery is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes scientific reports that enable and improve target validation, evaluate current drug discovery technologies, provide novel research tools, and incorporate research approaches that enhance depth of knowledge and drug discovery success.
SLAS Discovery emphasizes scientific and technical advances in target identification/validation (including chemical probes, RNA silencing, gene editing technologies); biomarker discovery; assay development; virtual, medium- or high-throughput screening (biochemical and biological, biophysical, phenotypic, toxicological, ADME); lead generation/optimization; chemical biology; and informatics (data analysis, image analysis, statistics, bio- and chemo-informatics). Review articles on target biology, new paradigms in drug discovery and advances in drug discovery technologies.
SLAS Discovery is of particular interest to those involved in analytical chemistry, applied microbiology, automation, biochemistry, bioengineering, biomedical optics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, cell biology, DNA science and technology, genetics, information technology, medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, natural products chemistry, organic chemistry, pharmacology, spectroscopy, and toxicology.
SLAS Discovery is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and was published previously (1996-2016) as the Journal of Biomolecular Screening (JBS).
