Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and death globally. The most common internal modification of mRNA is N6-adenosylate methylation (m6A). Recently, a growing number of studies have been devoted to researching cardiac remodeling mechanisms, especially m6A RNA methylation, revealing a connection between m6A and cardiovascular diseases. This review summarized the current understanding regarding m6A and elucidated the dynamic modifications of writers, erasers, and readers. Furthermore, we highlighted m6A RNA methylation related to cardiac remodeling and summarized its potential mechanisms. Finally, we discussed the potential of m6A RNA methylation in the treatment of cardiac remodeling.
