Attenuated DHAV maintains high m6A levels in duckling liver. (A) Quantification of m6A modification in total RNAs and mRNAs from duckling livers using m6A antibody-based immunoblotting. Methylene blue staining served as the loading control. Representative dot blot images at 12 hpi and 36 hpi are displayed. m6A-modified mRNA is present at greater levels in the CH60-infected group compared with the CH-infected group (middle panel). (B) A more sensitive LC–MS/MS approach was used to further quantify m6A RNA (m6A/A) and m6A mRNA (m6Am/A) in duckling livers infected by a virulent CH strain and attenuated CH60 strain. The virulent CH strain significantly reduces m6A modification levels in the poly-A tailed mRNA pool. However, m6Am (an m6A-resembling modification) modification levels remain similarly low in both groups. Data are displayed as the mean ± SD with 4 replicates.
