LID - 10.3390/antiox11101954 [doi] LID - 1954 AB - N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A) is the most abundant internal modification that widely participates in various immune and inflammatory responses; however, its regulatory mechanisms in the inflammation of liver induced by lipopolysaccharide in piglets remain largely unknown. In the present study, piglets were intraperitoneally injected with 80 mug/kg LPS or an equal dose of sterile saline. Results indicated that LPS administration increased activities of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), induced M1 macrophage polarization and promoted secretion of inflammatory cytokines, and finally led to hepatic lesions in piglets. The NOD1/NF-kappaB signaling pathway was activated in the livers of the LPS group. Moreover, the total m(6)A level was significantly elevated after LPS treatment. MeRIP-seq showed that 1166 and 1344 transcripts contained m(6)A methylation in control and LPS groups, respectively. The m(6)A methylation sites of these transcripts mainly distributes in the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR), the coding sequence (CDS), and the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). Interestingly, these genes were mostly enriched in the NF-kappaB signaling pathway, and LPS treatment significantly changed the m(6)A modification in NOD1, RIPK2, NFKBIA, NFKBIB, and TNFAIP3 mRNAs. In addition, knockdown of METTL3 or overexpression of FTO both changed gene levels in the NOD1/NF-kappaB pathway, suggesting that activation of this pathway was regulated by m(6)A RNA methylation. Moreover, the alteration of m(6)A RNA methylation profile may be associated with the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), HIF-1alpha, and MAT2A. In conclusion, LPS activated the NOD1/NF-kappaB pathway at post-transcriptional regulation through changing m(6)A RNA methylation, and then promoted the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines, ultimately resulting in liver inflammation and damage.
