Abstract: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant epigenetic modification in eukaryotes and plays a significant regulatory role in mammalian growth and disease control. Studies have found that m6A modification can accurately regulate the gene expression related to bone remodeling and development no matter in a physiological or pathological state, thus affecting bone metabolism balance. In this systematic review, we summarized regulatory mechanisms of m6A modification in osteogenic differentiation, in order to provide new ideas and potential targets for promoting bone formation and preventing or treating diseases related to bone metabolism.

Key words: m6A modification, RNA methylation, osteogenic differentiation, regulatory mechanism
