摘要:

6-甲基腺嘌呤(N 6-methyladenosine, m 6A)是一种重要的RNA修饰,参与细胞内mRNA的整个代谢活动,调控基因的表达,调节多种生物过程,在大脑组织中丰度较高。稳定的m 6A修饰有助于胚胎大脑发育、记忆力的形成,在维持中枢神经系统的功能中起到重要作用。当m 6A修饰水平及相关蛋白表达水平发生改变时,将会引起神经系统功能异常,包括脑组织发育迟缓、轴突再生能力障碍、记忆力改变以及干细胞更新和分化紊乱等。近年来的研究还发现,m 6A修饰及其相关蛋白在阿尔茨海默症、帕金森症、脆性X染色体综合征、抑郁症和胶质母细胞瘤等众多神经系统疾病的发展进程中扮演关键角色。本文主要综述了近年来在中枢神经系统中m 6A修饰调控机制研究的相关进展,重点介绍了m 6A修饰介导的基因表达调控对中枢神经系统生物学功能以及多种相关疾病的影响,以期为中枢神经系统疾病提供新的研究靶点和治疗方向。

Abstract:

N 6-methyladenosine (m 6A) is an important RNA modification, which is highly active in brain tissues, participates in global intracellular mRNA metabolism, and regulates gene expression and a variety of biological processes. Stable m 6A modification contributes to the normal embryonic brain development and memory formation and plays an important role in maintaining the functions of the central nervous system. However, changes in the level of m 6A modification and the expression of its related proteins cause abnormal nervous system functions, including brain tissue development retardation, axon regeneration disorders, memory changes, and stem cell renewal and differentiation disorders. Recent studies have also found that m 6A modification and its related proteins play key roles in the development of various nervous system diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, fragile X-chromosome syndrome, depression and glioblastoma. In this review, we summarize the research progresses of m 6A modification regulation mechanism in the central nervous system in recent years, and discusses the effects of gene expression regulation mediated by m 6A modification on the biological functions of the central nervous system and related diseases, thereby providing some insights on the new research targets and treatment directions for the central nervous system diseases.
