Background: N-Acetyltransferase 8 Like (NAT8L) inhibits natural killer (NK)/T-cell cytotoxicity by impairing the formation of the immunological synapse via N-acetylaspartate (NAA). Existing research has predominantly focused on the metabolic functions of NAT8L, particularly in adipose tissues and myelination in the brain. However, in contrast to other N-acetyltransferases such as NAT1 and NAT2, the role of NAT8L in cancer has been less extensively studied.

In this study, we identified CAF-related molecular subtypes and prognostic index for PCa patients undergoing radical prostatectomy through integrating single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing data. We completed analyses using software R 3.
