N 6-methyladenosine (m 6 A), the most abundant modification in eukaryotic cells, regulates RNA transcription, processing, splicing, degradation, and translation. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a class of covalently closed RNA molecules characterized by universality, diversity, stability and conservatism of evolution. Accumulating evidence shows that both m 6 A modification and circRNAs participate in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases, such as cancers, neurological diseases, autoimmune diseases, and infertility. Recently, m 6 A modification has been identified for its enrichment and vital biological functions in regulating circRNAs. In this review, we summarize the role of m 6 A modification in the regulation and function of circRNAs. Moreover, we discuss the potential applications and possible future directions in the field.
Our meta-analysis showed Insulin Resistance, dysglycemia, high BMI and hypertension significantly increased the thyroid cancer risk. These results may help identify people with high risk of thyroid cancer and change to healthy life style.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
