N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent modification of mammalian cellular RNAs. m6A methylation is linked to epigenetic regulation of several aspects of gene expression, including RNA stability, splicing, nuclear export, RNA folding, and translational activity. m6A modification is reversibly catalyzed by methyltransferases (m6A writers) and demethylases (m6A erasers), and the dynamics of m6A-modified RNA are regulated by m6A-binding proteins (m6A readers). Recently, several studies have shown that m6A methylation sites have been identified in hepatitis B virus (HBV) transcripts and the hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA genome. Here, we review the role of m6A modification in HBV/HCV replication and its contribution to liver disease pathogenesis. A better understanding of the functions of m6A methylation in the life cycles of HBV and HCV is required to establish the role of these modifications in liver diseases associated with these viral infections. Further investigations into the role of RNA modifications during hepatitis B and C infections could improve understanding of the hepatitis-associated liver disease. The most common RNA modification found in mammalian cells is N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which is linked to multiple cellular processes including gene regulation. This modification has also been identified in viral RNA, prompting Geon-Woo Kim and Aleem Siddiqui at the University of California, San Diego, USA, to review understanding of m6A modification during hepatitis virus infections. Depending on which part of the viral RNA is m6A-methylated, m6A modification induces complex changes in the viral life cycle. Infection with either hepatitis B or C virus also affects m6A modifications in host cellular RNA, influencing gene expression and inhibiting immunity. This may influence the development of liver disease and cancer during chronic hepatitis infection.
