YBX1 Promotes Malignant Progression of HNSCC via Stabilizing NSUN2‐m5C Modified ATF4 mRNA

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

NSUN2 promotes colorectal cancer progression and increases lapatinib sensitivity by enhancing CUL4B/ErbB‐STAT3 signalling in a non‐m5C manner

Clinical and Translational Medicine
NSUN2, a major methyltransferase that catalyzes m5C methylation in eukaryotes, is known to be implicated in the development of multiple cancers. However, its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) and the related molecular mechanisms have yet to be sufficiently

Lysine l‐Lactylation: Bridging Metabolism, Chromatin and Disease

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Enzymatic regulation of KL‐la. The enzymatic regulation of KL‐la involves two distinct pathways for L‐lactate accumulation: intracellular production through glycolysis‐derived pyruvate conversion by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) or direct cellular uptake via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs). These L‐lactate pools fuel two distinct lactylation pathways—

NSUN2‐mediated m5C RNA methylation dictates retinoblastoma progression through promoting PFAS mRNA stability and expression

Clinical and Translational Medicine, 2023
Background The precise temporal and spatial regulation of N5‐methylcytosine (m5C) RNA modification plays essential roles in RNA metabolism, and is necessary for the maintenance of epigenome homeostasis.

Bridging maternal effects and epitranscriptomics: A novel perspective in developmental biology

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 7, Page 628-645, July 2026.
Abstract Maternal effects, encompassing both genetic (maternally expressed gene products) and non‐genetic (maternal state) influences, are powerful determinants of offspring phenotype, yet their RNA‐level mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. In parallel, epitranscriptomics, an emerging field centered on chemical modifications to RNA, has revealed ...

The RNA–Methyltransferase Misu (NSun2) Poises Epidermal Stem Cells to Differentiate

PLoS Genetics, 2011
Homeostasis of most adult tissues is maintained by balancing stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, but whether post-transcriptional mechanisms can regulate this process is unknown. Here, we identify that an RNA methyltransferase (Misu/Nsun2) is required to balance stem cell self-renewal and differentiation in skin.

RNA Modifications in Tumor Microenvironment: A New Dimension for Cancer Treatment

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
Tumor initiation and progression depend on a supportive and highly heterogeneous tumor microenvironment (TME). RNA modifications regulate signaling pathways and cytokine networks that shape TME dynamics, facilitating interactions between cancer cells and noncancerous stromal cells, and ultimately promoting immune evasion and tumor progression ...

NSUN2 relies on ALYREF to regulate Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress and alleviate Dox-induced liver injury

Biology Direct
Background Doxorubicin (Dox) is associated with various liver injuries, limiting its clinical utility. This study investigates whether NSUN2 participates in Dox-induced liver injury and the associated molecular mechanism.

Targeting Lactate and Lactylation in Cancer Metabolism and Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 35, 24 June 2026.
Lactate, once deemed a metabolic waste, emerges as a central regulator of cancer progression. This review elucidates how lactate and its epigenetic derivative, protein lactylation, orchestrate tumor metabolism, immune suppression, and therapeutic resistance.

The RNA Methyltransferase Misu (NSun2) Mediates Myc-Induced Proliferation and Is Upregulated in Tumors [PDF]

Current Biology, 2006
Myc is a well-known proto-oncogene, but its functions in normal tissue remain enigmatic. In adult epidermis, Myc stimulates exit from the stem cell compartment, decreasing cell adhesion and, by an unknown mechanism, triggering proliferation of transit-amplifying cells.We describe a novel direct target gene of Myc, Misu, that is expressed at low levels ...
