Dysregulated N6-methyladenosine modification in peripheral immune cells contributes to the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS)is a progressive neurogenerative disorder with uncertain origins.Emerging evidence implicates N6-methyladenosine(m6A)modification in ALS pathogenesis.Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing(MeRIP-seq)and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were utilized for m6A profiling in peripheral immune cells and serum proteome analysis,respectively,in patients with ALS(n=16)and controls(n=6).The single-cell transcriptomic dataset(GSE174332)of primary motor cortex was further analyzed to illuminate the biological implications of differentially methylated genes and cell communication changes.Analysis of peripheral immune cells revealed extensive RNA hypermethylation,highlighting candidate genes with differential m6A modification and expression,including C-X3-C motif chemokine receptor 1(CX3CR1).In RAW264.7 macrophages,disrupted CX3CR1 signaling affected chemotaxis,potentially influencing immune cell migration in ALS.Serum proteome analysis demonstrated the role of dysregulated immune cell migration in ALS.Cell type-specific expression variations of these genes in the central nervous system(CNS),particularly microglia,were observed.Intercellular communication between neurons and glial cells was selectively altered in ALS CNS.This integrated approach underscores m6A dysregulation in immune cells as a potential ALS contributor.
