N-acetyltransferase 10 promotes the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma through N4-acetylcytidine RNA acetylation of MMP1 mRNA.

The pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unclear. Therefore, clarifying its pathogenesis and molecular-level development mechanism has become the focus of OSCC research. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is a crucial enzyme involved in mRNA acetylation, regulating target gene expression and biological functions of various diseases through mediating N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) acetylation.
