The pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remains unclear due to the complexity of its etiology. The emerging field of the epitranscriptome has shown significant promise in advancing the understanding of disease pathogenesis and developing new therapeutic approaches. Recent research has demonstrated that N4-acetylcytosine (ac4C), an RNA modification within the epitranscriptome, is implicated in progression of various diseases.

Organ fibrosis, a common consequence of chronic tissue injury, presents a significant health challenge. Recent research has revealed the regulatory role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification in fibrosis of various organs, including the lung, liver, kidney, and heart. In this comprehensive review, we summarize the latest findings on the mechanisms and functions of m6A modification in organ fibrosis.

Several studies have associated the epitranscriptomic RNA modification of N6-methyladenosine (mA) with cardiovascular diseases; however, how mA modification affects cardiomyocyte pyroptosis after myocardial infarction (MI) remains unknown. Here, we showed that AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5), an mA demethylase, is crucial in cardiomyocyte pyroptosis after MI. We used MI rat and mouse models, a cell hypoxia model of rat primary cardiomyocytes (RCMs), and rat embryonic ventricle cell line (H9c2) to explore the functional role of mA modification and ALKBH5 in the heart and cardiomyocytes.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus is an oncogenic gammaherpesvirus that plays a major role in several human malignancies, including Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman's disease. The complexity of KSHV biology is reflected in the sophisticated regulation of its biphasic life cycle, consisting of a quiescent latent phase and virion-producing lytic replication. KSHV expresses coding and noncoding RNAs, including microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs, which play crucial roles in modulating viral gene expression, immune evasion, and intercellular communication.

Background: Age-related kidney impairment, characterized by tubular epithelial cell senescence and renal fibrosis, poses a significant global public health threat. Although N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is implicated in various pathological processes, its regulatory mechanism in kidney aging remains unclear.
Methods: An m6A-mRNA epitranscriptomic microarray was performed to identify genes with abnormal m6A modifications in aged human kidney tissues.
