The mechanism of m6A modification in cardiovascular diseases: A systematic review
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prolific and conserved epigenetic modification of eukaryotic RNAs and is closely associated with the transcription, cleavage, translation, and degradation of target mRNAs. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally, with a significant research area focusing on understanding its pathogenesis and identifying effective therapeutic strategies. Recent advances in RNA methylation have revealed that m6A RNA modifications play a critical role in the initiation and progression of CVDs, potentially offering new insights into the development of these diseases. Interactions among various components influencing m6A modification levels regulate the effects of downstream targets, either by promoting or inhibiting CVD progression. This review connects the different types of CVDs and discusses the regulatory processes and intricate interactions between m6A methyltransferases and demethylases. We suggest that m6A RNA methylation could uncover potential targets for diagnosing and treating diseases, providing a clear view of how m6A modification affects CVDs and explaining the related molecular mechanisms and biological functions.
期刊介绍:
Genes & Diseases is an international journal for molecular and translational medicine. The journal primarily focuses on publishing investigations on the molecular bases and experimental therapeutics of human diseases. Publication formats include full length research article, review article, short communication, correspondence, perspectives, commentary, views on news, and research watch.
Aims and Scopes
Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on the molecular bases of human diseases. Emphasis will be placed on hypothesis-driven, mechanistic studies relevant to pathogenesis and/or experimental therapeutics of human diseases. The journal has worldwide authorship, and a broad scope in basic and translational biomedical research of molecular biology, molecular genetics, and cell biology, including but not limited to cell proliferation and apoptosis, signal transduction, stem cell biology, developmental biology, gene regulation and epigenetics, cancer biology, immunity and infection, neuroscience, disease-specific animal models, gene and cell-based therapies, and regenerative medicine.
