    Emerging role of mRNA methylation in regulating the hallmarks of cancer
    (Elsevier B.V., 2022-10-13T00:00:00) Sarraf, Gargi; Chhabra, Ravindresh
    The dynamic chemical modifications of DNA, RNA, and proteins can transform normal cells into malignant ones. While the DNA and protein modifications in cancer have been described extensively in the literature, there are fewer reports about the role of RNA modifications in cancer. There are over 100 forms of RNA modifications and one of these, mRNA methylation, plays a critical role in the malignant properties of the cells. mRNA methylation is a reversible modification responsible for regulating protein expression at the post-transcriptional level. Despite being discovered in the 1970s, a complete understanding of the different proteins involved and the mechanism behind mRNA methylation remains largely unknown. However, these mRNA methylations have been shown to foster cancer hallmarks via specific cellular targets inside the cell. In this review, we provide a brief overview of mRNA methylation and its emerging role in regulating the various hallmarks of cancer. � 2022 Elsevier B.V. and Soci�t� Fran�aise de Biochimie et Biologie Mol�culaire (SFBBM)
