RNA methylation modification is a highly dynamic and reversible epigenetic regulatory mechanism, primarily controlled by 3 types of factors: Methyltransferases, demethylases, and methylation reader proteins. N-methyladenosine (mA) methylation is the most common form of RNA methylation, and dysregulation of this process may lead to the development of various diseases. Renal diseases have drawn considerable attention owing to their high incidence, poor prognosis, and substantial socioeconomic burden. Renal resident cell injury plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of various kidney diseases. Understanding the mechanisms underlying renal resident cell injury is essential for advancing the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases. Recent studies have revealed that RNA mA methylation plays a critical role in renal resident cell injury, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic target for kidney disease treatment.
RNA甲基化修饰是一种高度动态且可逆的表观遗传调控机制,主要由三类因子控制:甲基转移酶、去甲基酶和甲基化阅读蛋白。N-甲基腺苷(m⁶A)甲基化是RNA甲基化最常见的形式,该过程的失调可能导致多种疾病的发生。肾脏疾病因其高发病率、预后差以及巨大的社会经济负担而备受关注。肾固有细胞损伤在各种肾脏疾病的发生和发展中起关键作用。了解肾固有细胞损伤的潜在机制对于推进肾脏疾病的防治至关重要。最近的研究表明,RNA m⁶A甲基化在肾固有细胞损伤中起关键作用,突显了其作为肾脏疾病治疗新靶点的潜力。
