Abstract The increasing interest in RNA modifications has significantly advanced epigenomic and epitranscriptomic technologies. This study focuses on the immuno-oncological impact of ALYREF in human cancer through a pan-cancer analysis, enhancing understanding of this gene’s role in cancer. We observed differential ALYREF expression between tumor and normal samples, correlating strongly with prognosis in various cancers, particularly kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP) and liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC). ALYREF showed a negative correlation with most tumor-infiltrating cells in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and lymphoid neoplasm diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBC), while positive correlations were noted in More >

Abstract Background: 5-Methylcytosine (m5C) methylation contributes to the development and progression of various malignant tumors. This study aimed to explore the potential role of m5C methylation regulators (m5CMRs) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods: The transcription data of HNSCC samples were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Subsequently, the m5C patterns in HNSCC were evaluated based on 14 m5CMRs. Then, the m5Cscore was developed to quantify m5C patterns by using principal component analysis (PCA) algorithms. Two single-cell RNA sequencing datasets and various methods were employed to… More >
