Effect of RNA N6-methyladenosine on immunoregulation / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

ABSTRACT

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent and abundant post-transcriptional RNA modification in eukaryotes. m6A is a dy-namic and reversible process catalyzed by m6A methyltransferase complex and demethylase. m6A is involved in the regulations of gene expres-sion and biological processes. Recently, researches have discovered that m6A plays a vital role in the differentiation and regulation of immune cells, which could provide a new idea for the research and therapy of immune-related diseases. The present article reviews the recent progresses of m6A in immunoregulation.
