NSUN2-Mediated m<sup>5</sup>C Modification of TGFB1 in Trophoblasts Remodels Macrophage Function to Prevent URSA. [PDF]
NSUN2 and m5C decline in URSA villous tissues. Trophoblast Nsun2 ablation disrupts macrophage‐mediated maternal‐fetal tolerance and triggers embryo resorption. Mechanistically, NSUN2‐YBX1 axis stabilizes m5C‐modified TGFB1 mRNA to maintain TGF‐β1 secretion and M2 polarization, and restoring this signaling rescues maternal‐fetal immune tolerance to ...

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.

m<sup>5</sup>C Reader ALYREF Promotes the Progression of Endometrial Cancer by Activating the XRCC6-Mediated Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway. [PDF]
This study identifies ALYREF as an oncogenic m5C reader in endometrial cancer. ALYREF recognizes NSUN2‐mediated m5C modification on XRCC6 mRNA to enhance transcript stability and increase XRCC6 expression. Elevated XRCC6 activates Wnt/β‐catenin signaling, resulting in accelerated tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and xenograft tumor growth.

YBX1 Promotes Malignant Progression of HNSCC via Stabilizing NSUN2-m5C Modified ATF4 mRNA. [PDF]
The diagram depicts the core axis and the key finding: “Targeting YBX1/NSUN2 abrogates HNSCC progression”. Within left‐sided HNSCC cells, NSUN2 mediates m5C methylation on the CDS of ATF4 mRNA; YBX1 then specifically recognizes and binds this modified site, augmenting ATF4 mRNA stability, which ultimately promotes cancer cell proliferation, migration ...

Positive epigenetic regulation loop between AR and NSUN2 promotes prostate cancer progression
Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is a major type of cancer in man worldwide. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and the next‐generation androgen receptor (AR) pathway inhibitors have acquired great success in treating PCa.

NSUN2 stimulates tumor progression via enhancing TIAM2 mRNA stability in pancreatic cancer
NSUN2 is a nuclear RNA methyltransferase which catalyzes 5-methylcytosine (m5C), a posttranscriptional RNA modification. Aberrant m5C modification has been implicated in the development of multiple malignancies. However, its function in pancreatic cancer
