Mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) released into the cytosol functions as a damage associated molecular pattern that activates pattern-recognition receptor (PRR)-mediated inflammation, yet its release mechanisms and cytoplasmic fate remain poorly understood. Here we report that chemical Abt-373-treatment and Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection induce mtRNA extrusion through Bax/Bak and VDAC1 channels, accompanied by mtDNA release. Extruded mtRNA in A549 cells activates multiple cytosolic PRRs, including RIG-I, MDA5, TLR3/7/8, and PKR, each contributing differentially to the innate immune signaling. Analysis of GEO datasets and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) assays further reveals that mtRNA carries methyladenosine (m6A) modification. m6A machinery proteins are involved in the cytoplasmic retention time of mtRNA and its interaction with RIG-I, thereby modulating mtRNA-induced innate immunity. Thus, our work establishes in vitro models of mtRNA extrusion, and highlights m6A-dependent modulation as a potential therapeutic target for mtRNA-driven inflammation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
