N-methyladenosine (mA) RNA modification is widely perceived as the most abundant and common modification in transcripts. This modification is dynamically regulated by specific mA "writers", "erasers" and "readers" and is reportedly involved in the occurrence and development of many diseases. Since mA RNA modification was discovered in the 1970s, with the progress of relevant research technologies, an increasing number of functions of mA have been reported, and a preliminary understanding of mA has been obtained. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms through which mA RNA modification is regulated from the perspectives of expression, posttranslational modification and protein interaction. In addition, we also summarize how external and internal environmental factors affect mA RNA modification and its functions in tumors. The mechanisms through which mA methylases, mA demethylases and mA-binding proteins are regulated are complicated and have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we hope to promote further research in this field by summarizing these mechanisms and look forward to the future application of mA in tumors.

RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays diverse roles in RNA metabolism and its deregulation contributes to tumor initiation and progression. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by near ubiquitous loss of followed by mutations in epigenetic regulators , , and . Mutations in , a histone H3 lysine 36 trimethylase (H3K36me3), are associated with reduced survival, greater metastatic propensity, and metabolic reprogramming.

Activation of CD8+ T cells necessitates rapid metabolic reprogramming to fulfill the substantial biosynthetic demands of effector functions. However, the posttranscriptional mechanisms underpinning this process remain obscure. The transfer RNA (tRNA) N1-methyladenine (m1A) modification, essential for tRNA stability and protein translation, has an undefined physiological function in CD8+ T cells, particularly in antitumor responses.

RIG-I like receptors (RLRs) are a family of cytosolic RNA sensors that sense RNA virus infection to activate innate immune response. It is generally believed that different RNA viruses are recognized by either RIG-I or MDA5, two important RLR members, depending on the nature of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are generated by RNA virus replication. Dengue virus (DENV) is an important RNA virus causing serious human diseases.

Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7)-mediated type I interferon antiviral response is crucial for regulating the host following viral infection in chickens. Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a double-stranded RNA virus that induces immune suppression and high mortality rates in chickens aged 3-6 weeks. Previous studies have shown that IBDV infection antagonizes the type I interferon production to facilitate viral replication in the cell, and IRF7 signaling might play an important role.

Introduction: Cancer is a widespread epidemic that affects millions of individuals across the world. Identifying novel cancer targets is crucial to developing more effective cancer treatments. Platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGFB) plays a critical role in various tumor processes, including angiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis.
