RNA修饰是一类发生在RNA上的转录后化学修饰形式,它通过多种途径调控RNA稳定性以及翻译效率,进而影响蛋白质的表达水平,RNA修饰广泛参与细胞增殖、分化、凋亡、侵袭转移等多种关键生物学进程。不同类型的RNA修饰之间存在着多种复杂的关联机制,包括协同增效、负向调控、竞争占位、功能串扰等,从而构成了复杂的“RNA修饰-RNA修饰”相互作用网络。RNA修饰酶在信号通路中存在上下游的承接关系,或在平行通路的关键节点存在交叉重叠,多种RNA修饰酶通过共享调控蛋白或形成复合物等方式形成复杂的调控架构,是介导并深刻影响RNA修饰相互作用的直接原因。本综述系统总结了不同类型RNA修饰之间直接或间接的相互作用机制,介绍了基于RNA修饰相互作用的创新评分体系和疾病预测模型,并在多种疾病背景下发现了RNA修饰相互作用的下游核心信号轴,从而深入剖析RNA修饰相互作用在疾病诊断、治疗靶点开发等临床应用层面的潜在价值,为解析RNA修饰在细胞生物学中的多维调控功能提供重要的理论支撑。RNA修饰的相互作用揭示了RNA在转录后调控层面上的复杂性,更为阐明RNA修饰酶对特定底物的选择性修饰机制提供了新的思路。
RNA modifications constitute a crucial class of post-transcriptional chemical alterations that profoundly influence RNA stability and translational efficiency, thereby shaping cellular protein expression profiles. These diverse chemical marks are ubiquitously involved in key biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and metastatic potential, and they exert precise regulatory control over these functions. A major advance in the field is the recognition that RNA modifications do not act in isolation. Instead, they participate in complex, dynamic interactions—through synergistic enhancement, antagonism, competitive binding, and functional crosstalk—forming what is now termed the “RNA modification interactome” or “RNA modification interaction network.” The formation and functional operation of this interactome rely on a multilayered regulatory framework orchestrated by RNA-modifying enzymes—commonly referred to as “writers,” “erasers,” and “readers.” These enzymes exhibit hierarchical organization within signaling cascades, often functioning in upstream-downstream sequences and converging at critical regulatory nodes. Their integration is further mediated through shared regulatory elements or the assembly into multi-enzyme complexes. This intricate enzymatic network directly governs and shapes the interdependent relationships among various RNA modifications. This review systematically elucidates the molecular mechanisms underlying both direct and indirect interactions between RNA modifications. Building upon this foundation, we introduce novel quantitative assessment frameworks and predictive disease models designed to leverage these interaction patterns. Importantly, studies across multiple disease contexts have identified core downstream signaling axes driven by specific constellations of interacting RNA modifications. These findings not only deepen our understanding of how RNA modification crosstalk contributes to disease initiation and progression, but also highlight its translational potential. This potential is exemplified by the discovery of diagnostic biomarkers based on interaction signatures and the development of therapeutic strategies targeting pathogenic modification networks. Together, these insights provide a conceptual framework for understanding the dynamic and multidimensional regulatory roles of RNA modifications in cellular systems. In conclusion, the emerging concept of RNA modification crosstalk reveals the extraordinary complexity of post-transcriptional regulation and opens new research avenues. It offers critical insights into the central question of how RNA-modifying enzymes achieve substrate specificity—determining which nucleotides within specific RNA transcripts are selectively modified during defined developmental or pathological stages. Decoding these specificity determinants, shaped in large part by the modification interactome, is essential for fully understanding the biological and pathological significance of the epitranscriptome.
