Recognition of the Subtypes Classification and Diagnostic Signature Based on RNA N6-Methyladenosine Regulators in Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a common reproductive disease in female patients that seriously affects the quality of life of patients. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), as the most common modification, plays an important role in various biological behaviors; however, the relationship between m6A and RSA is still unknown. In the present study, we utilized RNA sequencing data and clinical information of RSA patients and normal women in the GEO database to identify the expression profiles of m6A regulators in RSA. Based on the m6A regulators' expression profiles, we constructed a random forest model consisting of 4 genes to predict the prevalence of RSA patients, including FMR1, METTL14, LRPPRC, and RBMX. The predictive performance of the nomogram was constructed and validated. Not only that, consensus clustering was performed to divide RSA patients into 3 clusters based on the expression of m6A regulators and calculated the m6A scores and immune infiltration of patients in different clusters. It was found that the TH1-type immune response was dominant in the A cluster, the B-type immune activity was poor, and the C cluster was the strongest. In addition, on the basis of m6A typing, we further used the differentially expressed genes between clusters to perform consensus clustering verification, and the results were consistent with the previous findings. In conclusion, the m6A regulators played an indispensable role in the occurrence of RSA, and the m6A-based typing could effectively identify the immune characteristics of different RSA patients to a certain extent, providing a new direction and strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of RSA patients.
