Zusammenfassung:RNA chemical modifications are a new but rapidly developing field. They can directly affect RNA splicing, transport, stability, and translation. Consequently, they are involved in the occurrence and development of diseases that have been studied extensively in recent years. However, few studies have focused on the correlation between chemical modifications and drug effects. Here, we provide a landscape of six RNA modifications in pharmacogene RNA (pharmacoepitranscriptomics) to fully clarify the correlation between chemical modifications and drugs. We performed systematic and comprehensive analyses on pharmacoepitranscriptomics, including basic characteristics of RNA modification and modification-associated mutations and drugs affected by them. Our results show that chemical modifications are common in pharmacogenes, especially N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. In addition, we found a very close relationship between chemical modifications and anti-tumor drugs. More interestingly, the results demonstrate the importance of m6A modification for anti-tumor drugs, especially for drugs in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), ovarian cancer, and acute myelocytic leukemia (AML). These results indicate that pharmacoepitranscriptomics could be a new source of drug-effect biomarkers, especially for m6A and anti-tumor drugs. [Display omitted] Overview of pharmacoepitranscriptomic biomarkers. m1A, m5C, m6A, m6Am, m7G, and φ on pharmacogene RNA were included in the study. They might influence drug effects by altering the expression of pharmacogenes. Anti-tumor drugs accounted for the largest proportion of all the drugs affected by the six types of modifications. Ultimately, m6A has been further confirmed as a potential biomarker for drug effects. This study provides a landscape of six types of RNA modifications in pharmacogene RNA (pharmacoepitranscriptomics) to fully clarify the correlation between chemical modifications and drugs. It proves that pharmacoepitranscriptomics could be a new source of drug-effect biomarkers, especially for m6A and anti-tumor drugs.
