ABSTRACT Metastasis remains a leading cause of cancer‐related deaths, defined by complex, multi‐step process in which tumor cells spread and form secondary growths distant tissues. Despite substantial progress understanding metastasis, the molecular mechanisms driving this development effective therapies remain incompletely understood. Elucidating pathways governing metastasis is essential for discovery innovative therapeutic targets. The rapid advancements sequencing technologies expansion biological databases have significantly deepened our drivers associated drug resistance. This review focuses on particularly roles genetic mutations, epigenetic changes, post‐translational modifications progression. We also examine how microenvironment influences metastatic behavior explore emerging strategies, including targeted immunotherapies. Finally, we discuss future research directions, stressing importance novel treatment approaches personalized strategies to overcome improve patient outcomes. By integrating contemporary insights into basis innovation, provides comprehensive framework guide clinical cancer.

Abstract RNA modifications play crucial roles in metabolism, structure, and functions. N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) have been shown to enhance stability translation efficiency of messenger RNAs viral RNAs. However, the relationship between ac4C alternative processing remains unexplored. Here, N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) its catalyzed on minute virus canines (MVC) were regulate DNA replication processing, including both splicing polyadenylation. Through acRIP-seq RedaC:T-seq, functional ac4C-modified residue 3311 was identified characterized, which affected MVC rather than altered stability. Ac4C modification at nt revealed participate NP1-mediated without influencing affinity NP1. Meanwhile, CPSF5 interact with NP1 mediate an ac4C-dependent manner. Further vitro assays showed that recruited RNAs, promoted specific binding target region, ensured precise processing. This study not only reveals functions NAT10 but also elucidates mechanisms by orchestrate proteins host factors for efficient

Emerging evidence has confirmed the inextricable connection between N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) mRNA modification and clinical characteristics of malignancies. Nonetheless, it is uncertain whether how ac4C patterns affect outcomes in melanoma patients. This research integrated single-cell sequencing data transcriptomics to pinpoint ac4C-related genes (acRG) linked progression evaluate their implications. Cells with elevated acRG score were predominantly located within melanocytes cluster. Intercellular communications other cell subtypes markedly strengthened acRG-high group. We developed an excellent acRG-related signature (acRGS) utilizing a comprehensive set 101 algorithm combinations derived from 10 machine learning algorithms. Hereby, acRGS, including MYO10, ZNF667, MRAS, SCO2, MAPK10, PNMA6A, KPNA2, NT5DC2, BAIAP2L2 NDST3, delineated ac4C-associated melanoma. The acRGS possesses distinctly superior performance 120 previously reported signatures could predict overall survival patients across four external datasets. substantial associations among immune checkpoint genes, infiltration, tumor mutation burden indicate that helpful identifying who are sensitive immunotherapy. Besides, we MYO10 was mainly overexpressed tissues, positively correlated malignant phenotypes unfavorable prognosis Silencing expression inhibited proliferation, migration invasion vitro as well growth vivo.
