Epitranscriptomics, the study of reversible and dynamic chemical marks on the RNA, is rapidly emerging as a pivotal field in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation. Increasing knowledge about epitranscriptomic landscapes implicated in disease pathogenesis proves an invaluable opportunity for the identification of epitranscriptomic biomarkers and the development of new potential therapeutic drugs. Hence, recent advances in the characterization of these marks and associated enzymes in both health and disease blaze a trail toward the use of epitranscriptomics approaches for clinical applications. Here, we review the latest studies to provide a wide and comprehensive perspective of clinical epitranscriptomics and emphasize its transformative potential in shaping future health care paradigms.
表观转录组学是研究 RNA 上可逆和动态化学标记的学科,它正在迅速成为转录后基因表达调控的关键领域。越来越多的关于参与疾病发病机制的表观转录组学景观的知识为鉴定表观转录组学生物标志物和开发新的潜在治疗药物提供了宝贵的机会。因此,最近在健康和疾病中这些标记物及其相关酶的特性方面的进展为将表观转录组学方法应用于临床开辟了道路。在这里,我们回顾了最新的研究,提供了广泛而全面的临床表观转录组学视角,并强调了它在塑造未来医疗保健模式方面的变革潜力。
