The aim of the study was to investigate the role of NSUN2 (NOP2/Sun RNA Methyltransferase Family Member 2) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The expressions of NSUN2 and FZR1 were measured. Cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis were assessed. HCC

NSUN2 promotes colorectal cancer progression by enhancing SKIL mRNA stabilization
Background NOP2/Sun domain 2 (NSUN2) is one of the important RNA methyltransferases catalyzing 5‐methylcytosine (m5C) formation and participates in many critical bioprocesses.

Tumor cell-intrinsic NSUN2 deficiency reprograms macrophages to sensitize non-small cell lung cancer to EGFR inhibitors by reversing immune evasion. [PDF]
Despite EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) have improved outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), acquired resistance remains a challenge.

Targeting the NSUN2-DHODH axis reverses ferroptosis resistance and oxaliplatin resistance in colorectal cancer. [PDF]
BackgroundOxaliplatin (OXA) is a standard chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer (CRC), yet acquired resistance frequently limits its efficacy.

NSUN2 promotes leukemogenesis by ferritin heavy chain 1-mediated anti-ferroptosis and enhancing global protein synthesis in an m5C-dependent manner in B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia. [PDF]
Background NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase family member 2 (NSUN2) catalyzes 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modifications in tRNA, rRNA, and mRNA, playing critical roles in various malignancies.

NSUN2 mediated-aberrant 5-methylcytosine methylation regulates autophagy-related ferroptosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma progression. [PDF]
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common malignant tumor with high metastasis rates and poor prognosis. This study investigated the role of NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase family member 2 (NSUN2), a key 5-methylcytosine (m5C) methyltransferase, and

Aberrant KIF26B expression promotes bladder cancer progression through driving NSUN2 nuclear localization. [PDF]
Abnormal expression of kinesins has been observed in several types of cancer. The present study provided the first evidence that KIF26B could induce RNA m5C modification in bladder cancer (BCa).

NSUN2 restrains gastric cancer cell apoptosis and ferroptosis by promoting the m5C modification of EPYC. [PDF]
Background Epiphycan (EPYC) has been confirmed to play an oncogenic role in many cancers. However, its role and mechanism in gastric cancer (GC) progression has not been explored.
