ABSTRACT
N6 -methyladenosine (m6 A) modification-the most prevalent mammalian RNA internal modification-plays key regulatory roles in mRNA metabolism. Current approaches for m6 A modified RNA analysis limit at bulk-population level, resulting in a loss of spatiotemporal and cell-to-cell variability information. Here we proposed a m6 A-specific in situ hybridization mediated proximity ligation assay (m6 AISH-PLA) for cellular imaging of m6 A RNA, allowing to identify m6 A modification at specific location in RNAs and image m6 A RNA with single-cell and single-molecule resolution. Using m6 AISH-PLA, we investigated the m6 A level and subcellular location of HSP70 RNA103-m6 A in response to heat shock stress, and found an increased m6 A modified ratio and an increased distribution ratio in cytoplasm under heat shock. m6 AISH-PLA can serve in the study of m6 A RNA in single cells for deciphering epitranscriptomic mechanisms and assisting clinical diagnosis.
