The quick progress of epigenetic study has kindled new hope for treating many cancers. When it comes to RNA epigenetics, the ac4C acetylation modification is showing promise, whereas N-acetyltransferase 10 plays a wide range of biological functions, has a significant impact on cellular life events, and is frequently highly expressed in many malignant tumors. N-acetyltransferase 10 is an acetyltransferase with important biological involvement in cellular processes and lifespan. Because it is highly expressed in many malignant tumors, it is considered a pro-carcinogenic gene. The review aims to introduce NAT10, summarize the effects of ac4C acetylation on tumor growth from multiple angles, and discuss the possible therapeutic targeting of NAT10 and the future directions of ac4C acetylation investigations.

-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is a nucleolar acetyltransferase with an acetylation catalytic function and can bind various protein and RNA molecules. As the N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) "writer" enzyme, NAT10 is reportedly involved in a variety of physiological and pathological activities. Currently, the NAT10-related molecular mechanisms in various cancers are not fully understood.

N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is a critical RNA modification implicated in cancer progression. Currently, N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is recognized as the sole "writer" protein responsible for ac4C modification. However, the study of NAT10 and ac4C modification in lung cancer remains sparse.

The pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remains unclear due to the complexity of its etiology. The emerging field of the epitranscriptome has shown significant promise in advancing the understanding of disease pathogenesis and developing new therapeutic approaches. Recent research has demonstrated that N4-acetylcytosine (ac4C), an RNA modification within the epitranscriptome, is implicated in progression of various diseases.

Leishmania presents a complex life cycle that involves both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. By regulating gene expression, protein synthesis, and metabolism, the parasite can adapt to various environmental conditions. This regulation occurs mainly at the post-transcriptional level and may involve epitranscriptomic modifications of RNAs.

Endometriosis, a gynecological disorder marked by pelvic pain and infertility, has its pathogenesis and pathophysiology significantly influenced by epigenetics, as these factors have been well characterized. However, the role of RNA-mediated epigenetic regulation in endometriosis remains to be elucidated. In our study, we found that N4-acetylcytidine (acC) RNA modification and N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) were significantly upregulated in endometrial lesions compared to eutopic endometrium.
