近日,以色列魏茨曼科學研究所Noam Stern-Ginossar和Ziv Shulman合作總結了RNA修飾N 6-甲基腺苷(m6A)對免疫系統的調節作用。該綜述論文於2020年4月13日在線發表於國際一流學術期刊《自然—免疫學》。
研究人員總結了m6A在調控免疫各個方面的最新發現的功能,包括免疫識別、先天性和適應性免疫應答的激活以及細胞命運的決定。然後,研究人員討論該領域中的一些現有挑戰,並描述了m6A的免疫功能及其作用機制的未來研究方向。
據悉,對有害病原體的防護取決於免疫系統的激活,而免疫系統的激活依賴於基因表達的嚴格調節。 最近研究表明,RNA修飾m6A在這種調節中起重要作用。

Abstract: Protection from harmful pathogens depends on activation of the immune system, which relies on tight regulation of gene expression. Recently, the RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been found to play an essential role in such regulation. Here, we summarize newly discovered functions of m6A in controlling various aspects of immunity, including immune recognition, activation of innate and adaptive immune responses, and cell fate decisions. We then discuss some of the current challenges in the field and describe future directions for uncovering the immunological functions of m6A and its mechanisms of action.
