The growing body of research on cardiac epitranscriptomic factors has underscored their potential biological roles and impact on heart development and disease. While transcriptional and translational regulation of cardiac genes in the developing heart has been extensively studied, the potential roles of posttranscriptional regulation of cardiac mRNAs remain a significant gap in our understanding. In addition, discrepancies between transcriptomes and proteomes in both embryonic and adult hearts are well recognized, further suggesting an emerging regulatory role of the epitranscriptome in cardiac biology. Here we summarize the current understanding of mA machinery and associated RNA-binding proteins in the heart and discuss their impact on heart development. By identifying existing knowledge gaps, we aim to provide insights that may inform future research directions.
关于心脏表观转录组学因子的研究不断增加,这凸显了它们潜在的生物学作用以及对心脏发育和疾病的影响。虽然发育中心脏中基因的转录和翻译调控已得到广泛研究,但心脏mRNA转录后调控的潜在作用在我们的认知中仍存在重大空白。此外,胚胎心脏和成年心脏中转录组和蛋白质组之间的差异已得到充分认识,这进一步表明表观转录组在心脏生物学中具有新出现的调控作用。在这里,我们总结了目前对心脏中m⁶A机制及相关RNA结合蛋白的认识,并讨论它们对心脏发育的影响。通过识别现有的知识空白,我们旨在提供可能为未来研究方向提供参考的见解。
