Abstract:
In the complex process of skeletal development, the significance of m6A RNA methylation-a predominant form of RNA modification-has not been fully explored. This review discuss how m6A RNA methylation plays an important, though not yet fully understood, role in regulating skeletal formation. It examines how m6A influences key signaling pathways essential for skeletal development and homeostasis, suggesting various possible interactions between m6A methylation and these critical pathways. While the exact mechanisms for many of these interactions remain to be elucidated, m6A RNA methylation is anticipated to be a key emerging regulator in skeletal structure development across vertebrates. Highlighting the need for further research, this overview provides an in-depth look at the potential regulatory interactions of m6A RNA methylation within skeletal system. Uniquely, this review is the most comprehensive compilation of evidence linking components of m6A RNA methylation to signaling pathways involved in skeletogenesis.
