Abstract
The post-transcriptional N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of RNA influences stability, transport, and translation with implications for various physiological and pathological processes. Immune cell development, differentiation, and activation are also thought to be regulated by m6A and affect host defense against pathogens and inflammatory response with impacts on infectious, neoplastic, autoimmune, cardiovascular, hepatic, and osteal diseases. The current review summarizes recent research on m6A in monocyte/macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, natural killer cells, and microglia and gives insights into epigenetic modifications of the immune system and novel therapeutic strategies for immune-related diseases.
期刊介绍:
The ''Journal of Innate Immunity'' is a bimonthly journal covering all aspects within the area of innate immunity, including evolution of the immune system, molecular biology of cells involved in innate immunity, pattern recognition and signals of ‘danger’, microbial corruption, host response and inflammation, mucosal immunity, complement and coagulation, sepsis and septic shock, molecular genomics, and development of immunotherapies. The journal publishes original research articles, short communications, reviews, commentaries and letters to the editors. In addition to regular papers, some issues feature a special section with a thematic focus.
