New roles of N6-methyladenosine methylation system regulating the occurrence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with N6-methyladenosine-modified MYC.

ABSTRACT: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a major chronic disease in contemporary society, affected by N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation, one of the most common RNA modifications. Compared with healthy control, m6A RNA methyltransferase 3 (METTL3) and METTL14 increased, while Wilms tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) and RNA-binding motif protein 15 (RBM15) decreased significantly in NAFLD, and the m6A demethylases fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) elevated. Meanwhile, the m6A binding proteins, YT521-B homology (YTH) domain-containing 1 (YTHDC1), YTHDC2, insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1), heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (HNRNPC), and HNRNPA2B1 were decreased, while eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit H (EIF3H)
