ABSTRACT
Paraquat (PQ) is a ubiquitously applied herbicide. Long-term PQ exposure with low dose has been reported to induce abnormal expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in brain nerve cells, which could further lead to Parkinson's disease (PD). N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification has recently been identified as having an important role in regulating the function of lncRNAs. However, how m6A modification regulates lncRNAs following PQ exposure remains largely unknown. Herein, this study reported m6A modification of lncRNAs in mouse neuroblastoma cells (Neuro-2a) following PQ induced reactive oxide species (ROS). M6A sequencing was performed to explore the m6A modificated pattern of lncRNAs in Neuro-2a cells which were treated with 200 µM PQ for 3 h. It was found that PQ hypermethylated total RNA and changed the expression of m6A methyltransferase and demethylase proteins, which leading to the alteration of m6A modification of lncRNAs. Furthermore, the functional analysis further revealed that N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC)ï¼a ROS scavengers, partly reversed PQ-induced distinct m6A modificated pattern of lncRNAs. In addition, tow specific m6A modified lncRNAs were identified cell division cycle 5-like (lncRNA CDC5L) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (lncRNA STAT3), which could influence downstream autophagy related biological function. In summary, this work could potentially contribute to the new insight of lncRNAs m6A modification mechanism in the field of environmental toxicology.
