Article Abstract
Metabolic diseases caused by disorders in amino acids, glucose, lipid metabolism, and other metabolic risk factors show high incidences in young people, and current treatments are ineffective. -methyladenosine (mA) RNA modification is a post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression with several effects on physiological processes and biological functions. Recent studies report that mA RNA modification is involved in various metabolic pathways and development of common metabolic diseases, making it a potential disease-specific therapeutic target. This review explores components, mechanisms, and research methods of mA RNA modification. In addition, we summarize the progress of research on mA RNA modification in metabolism-related human diseases, including diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, osteoporosis, and cancer. Furthermore, opportunities and the challenges facing basic research and clinical application of mA RNA modification in metabolism-related human diseases are discussed. This review is meant to enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms, research methods, and clinical significance of mA RNA modification in metabolism-related human diseases.

N7-methylguanosine (m7G) is an important RNA modification involved in epigenetic regulation that is commonly observed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Their influence on the synthesis and processing of messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA allows m7G modifications to affect diverse cellular, physiological, and pathological processes. m7G modifications are pivotal in human diseases, particularly cancer progression.

Aberrant autophagy in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is associated with the progression of vascular remodeling diseases caused by neointimal hyperplasia. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB)-induced vascular remodeling is accompanied by autophagy activation, however, the involvement of circular RNAs (circRNAs) remains unclear. Here, we show the role of PDGF-BB-regulated hsa_circ_0001304 (circ-1304) in neointimal hyperplasia and its potential involvement in VSMC autophagy, while also elucidating the potential mechanisms.

In mammalian oocytes, large-scale chromatin organization regulates transcription, nuclear architecture, and maintenance of chromosome stability in preparation for meiosis onset. Pre-ovulatory oocytes with distinct chromatin configurations exhibit profound differences in metabolic and transcriptional profiles that ultimately determine meiotic competence and developmental potential. Here, we developed a deep learning pipeline for the non-invasive prediction of chromatin structure and developmental potential in live mouse oocytes.

Nanopore direct RNA sequencing (DRS) enables direct measurement of RNA molecules, including their native RNA modifications, without prior conversion to cDNA. However, commercial methods for molecular barcoding of multiple DRS samples are lacking, and community-driven efforts, such as DeePlexiCon, are not compatible with newer RNA chemistry flowcells and the latest-generation GPU cards. To overcome these limitations, we introduce SeqTagger, a rapid and robust method that can demultiplex direct RNA sequencing datasets with 99% precision and 95% recall.

Crown rot caused by Fusarium proliferatum is a severe postharvest disease of banana fruit. The N-methyladenosine (mA) modification is the most common type of RNA modification and regulates gene expression in eukaryotes. Here, we analyzed transcriptome-wide changes in mA methylation to investigate post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms of growth and fumonisin biosynthesis of F.
