Potential mechanism

Refs

ALYREF, NSUN5, DNMT1

HNSCC

Participate in progress and predict prognosis

Involved in regulating tumor energy metabolism and protein synthesis

[90]

NSUN2

Gastric Cancer

Cell Proliferation

Regulate downstream gene p57Kip2

[98]

NSUN2

HDFs

Cell Proliferation and Senescence

Regulate the expression of p27 and CDK1

[99]

NSUN2

U87

Cell Migration

Participate in regulation by methylating ATX mRNA

[100]

NSUN2

HCC

Cell Differentiation

Recruit oncoprotein G3BP1

[95]

NSUN2, ALYREF

Bladder Cancer

Cell Proliferation and Migration

Regulation of mRNA stability through a new binding protein YBX1 in the cytoplasm

[31]

NSUN6

Pancreatic Cancer

Cell Proliferation

Regulates cell cycle and G2M checkpoints

[101]

NSUN4, ALYREF

HCC

Tumor progression

High expression of NSUN4 and ALYREF is significantly correlated with survival outcome

[94]

NSUN2, NSUN6

TNBC

Tumor proliferation Occurrence and Metastasis.

Affect tumor development and tumor immune microenvironment

[102]

NSUN2

Gastrointestinal Cancer

Tumor progression and pathological staging

Regulates GSK3B and participates in the ErbB/PI3K-Akt signaling pathway

[103]

DNMT3A

Glioblastoma Multiforme

Tumor progression

Inhibit the formation of miRNA/mRNA duplexes, loss of tumor suppression kinetic energy

[104]

ALYREF

Bladder Cancer

Glycolysis and Tumorigenesis

Overexpression of ALYREF promotes the proliferation of bladder cancer cells through PKM2-mediated glycolysis.
