PG - e13639 LID - 10.1111/obr.13639 [doi] AB - As the most common internal post-transcriptional RNA modification in eukaryotic cells, N6-methyladenosine (m(6) A) performs a dynamic and reversible role in a variety of biological processes mediated by methyltransferases (writers), demethylases (erasers), and m(6) A binding proteins (readers). M(6) A methylation enables transcriptome conversion in different signals that regulate various physiological activities and organ development. Over the past few years, emerging studies have identified that mRNA m(6) A regulators defect in beta-cell leads to abnormal regulation of the target mRNAs, thereby resulting in beta-cell dysfunction and loss of beta-cell identity and mass, which are strongly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) pathogenesis. Also, mRNA m(6) A modification has been implicated with insulin resistance in muscles, fat, and liver cells/tissues. In this review, we elaborate on the biological features of m(6) A methylation; provide a comprehensive overview of the underlying mechanisms that how it controls beta-cell function, identity, and mass as well as insulin resistance; highlight its connections to glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism linking to T2DM; and further discuss its role in diabetes complications and its therapeutic potentials for T2DM diagnosis and treatment.
