Article Abstract
RNA modification has emerged as a crucial area of research in epigenetics, significantly influencing tumor biology by regulating RNA metabolism. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10)-mediated N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification, the sole known acetylation in eukaryotic RNA, influences cancer pathogenesis and progression. NAT10 is the only writer of ac4C and catalyzes acetyl transfer on targeted RNA, and ac4C helps to improve the stability and translational efficiency of ac4C-modified RNA. NAT10 is highly expressed and associated with poor prognosis in pan-cancers. Based on its molecular mechanism and biological functions, ac4C is a central factor in tumorigenesis, tumor progression, drug resistance, and tumor immune escape. Despite the increasing focus on ac4C, the specific regulatory mechanisms of ac4C in cancer remain elusive. The present review thoroughly analyzes the current knowledge on NAT10-mediated ac4C modification in cancer, highlighting its broad regulatory influence on targeted gene expression and tumor biology. This review also summarizes the limitations and perspectives of current research on NAT10 and ac4C in cancer, to identify new therapeutic targets and advance cancer treatment strategies.

N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is an evolutionarily conserved RNA modification catalyzed by the acetyltransferase NAT10. It regulates RNA stability, translation, and post-transcriptional processes. Meanwhile, NAT10 functions as a dual-function enzyme exhibiting both protein acetyltransferase and RNA acetylase activities.

Tumor vascular normalization has emerged as a promising strategy to potentiate immune checkpoint blockade in solid tumors. Here, we unveil a previously unrecognized NAT10/XIST/YAP1/VEGFA signaling axis driving vascular abnormalization in gastric cancer (GC) and demonstrate its therapeutic potential in remodeling the tumor immune microenvironment. Through integrative analysis of acetylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (acRIP-seq) and functional validation, we identified NAT10-mediated N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification as a critical stabilizer of lncRNA XIST.

Objectives: To elucidate the role of N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) in pancreatic cancer (PC) progression and its epigenetic mechanisms, particularly in relation to metastasis.
Methods: TCGA and GTEx databases were used to analyze the expression and roles of NAT10 in pancreatic cancer. We constructed stable cell lines with NAT10 knockdown in PC cell lines, AsPC-1 and KPC.
