Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) serves as a major RNA methylation modification and impacts the initiation and progression of various human cancers through diverse mechanisms. It has been reported that m6A RNA methylation is involved in different physiological and pathological processes, including stem cell differentiation and motility, immune response, cellular stress, tissue renewal and viral infection. In this review, the m6A modification and its regulatory functions in a few major cancers is introduced. The detection approaches for the m6A sites identification are discussed. Additionally, the potential of the RNA m6A modification in clinical application is discussed.Entities:
