Abstract

RNA modifications play a crucial role in cancer development, profoundly influencing various stages of the RNA lifecycle. These stages encompass nuclear processing, nuclear export, splicing, and translation in the cytoplasm. Among RNA modifications, the ac4C RNA modification, also known as N4-acetylcytidine, stands out for its unique role in acetylation processes. Specific proteins regulate ac4C RNA modification, maintaining the dynamic and reversible nature of these changes. This review explores the molecular mechanisms and biological functions of ac4C RNA modification. It examines the intricate ways in which ac4C RNA modification influences the pathogenesis and progression of cancer. Additionally, the review provides an integrated overview of the current methodologies for detecting ac4C RNA modification. Exploring the potential applications of manipulating this modification suggests avenues for novel therapeutic strategies, potentially leading to more effective cancer treatments in the future.
