Placental epitranscriptome-wide analysis of revealed the m6A modification level at 5' UTR related fetal growth
To further understand the relationship between the level of gene expression and protein translation in human placenta, we focused on N6-methyladenosine: m6A, which is a methylation modification of mRNA acting as a post-transcriptional regulation which has drawn attention in recent years. It is said that m6A affects the fate of mRNA. In addition, it is thought that m6A affects gene expression in the placenta of preeclampsia which is a representative disease of perinatal period and fetal growth abnormality, and the placentas of children who were small for date (SFD) or heavy for date (HFD) were studied in addition to appropriate for date (AFD) preganancies. The SFD placentas contained half of the cases with PE. HEK293T cell was used to confirm the experimental system. PolyA RNA was purified from each tissue and cell, and libraries were prepared from immunoprecipitated (IP) samples using anti-m6A antibody and input samples, and sequenced with Hiseq 1500/2500 and RNAseq was carried out.
