description Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection and is characterized by multiple biological and clinical features. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most common type of RNA modifications in eukaryotes and plays an important regulatory role in various biological processes. Recently, m6A modification has been found to be involved in the regulation of immune responses in sepsis. In addition, several studies have shown that m6A modification is involved in sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunctions, including cardiovascular dysfunction, acute lung injury (ALI), acute kidney injury (AKI) and etc. Considering the complex pathogenesis of sepsis and the lack of specific therapeutic drugs, m6A modification may be the important bond in the pathophysiological process of sepsis and even therapeutic targets. This review systematically highlights the recent advances regarding the roles of m6A modification in sepsis and sheds light on their use as treatment targets for sepsis.
