RNA changes in cancer linked to tumor growth and treatment response

Updated

Abstract

RNA modifications are associated with regulating RNA metabolism and gene expression, impacting tumor evolution and immune responses.

  • RNA modifications, including m6A and m1A, play critical roles in controlling transcript stability and translation efficiency.
  • Dysregulation of these modifications is increasingly recognized as a hallmark of cancer.
  • The interplay between RNA modifications and the tumor immune microenvironment may influence immune evasion and antigen presentation.
  • Epitranscriptomic changes could affect cellular responses to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy.
  • This review connects descriptive mapping of RNA modifications to functional implications in tumor biology.
