Abstract excerpt
AIMS: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification can govern cell fate by co- or post-transcriptionally regulating gene expression. VSMCs can undergo phenotypic switching, contributing to other cells within atherosclerotic plaques, including foam cell- and macrophage-like cells. However, the role of VSMC m6A in atherosclerosis development remains unclear. While PPAR-α and PPAR-γ have been extensively studied in...
