Furthermore, KEGG pathway analysis of genes with differentially m6A modification revealed enrichment for terms related to (i) inflammatory responses, such as Staphylococcus aureus infection, Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, complement and coagulation cascades, Th17 cell differentiation, chemokine signaling pathway, IL17 signaling pathway and antigen processing and presentation; (ii) important mediators of apoptosis, such as Hippo signaling pathway, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, MAPK signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway (Figures 3B, E). This evidence concerns the gene IL17A and staphylococcus aureus infection.
