Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common modification of eukaryotic RNA. m6A participates in RNA splicing, nuclear export, translation, and degradation through regulation by methyltransferases, methylation readers, and demethylases, affecting mRNA stability and translation efficiency. Through the dynamic and reversible regulatory network composed of " Writers-Erasers-Readers", m6A modification plays a unique role in the process of hematopoiesis. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by malignant proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells/progenitor cells. Many studies have shown that m6A-related proteins are abnormally expressed in AML and play an important role in the occurrence and development of AML, acting as carcinogenic or anticancer factors. Here, we describe the mechanisms of action of reversing m6A modification in hematopoiesis and AML occurrence and progression to provide a basis for further research on the role of m6A methylation and its regulatory factors in normal hematopoiesis and AML, to ultimately estimate its potential clinical value.
