The emerging roles of ac4C acetylation "writer" NAT10 in tumorigenesis: A comprehensive review.

ABSTRACT

The quick progress of epigenetic study has kindled new hope for treating many cancers. When it comes to RNA epigenetics, the ac4C acetylation modification is showing promise, whereas N-acetyltransferase 10 plays a wide range of biological functions, has a significant impact on cellular life events, and is frequently highly expressed in many malignant tumors. N-acetyltransferase 10 is an acetyltransferase with important biological involvement in cellular processes and lifespan. Because it is highly expressed in many malignant tumors, it is considered a pro-carcinogenic gene. The review aims to introduce NAT10, summarize the effects of ac4C acetylation on tumor growth from multiple angles, and discuss the possible therapeutic targeting of NAT10 and the future directions of ac4C acetylation investigations.
