摘要
N6-methyladenosine(m^(6)A)is the most abundant internal modification on RNA.It is a dynamical and reversible process,which is regulated by m^(6)A methyltransferase and m^(6)A demethylase.The m^(6)A modified RNA can be specifically recognized by the m^(6)A reader,leading to RNA splicing,maturation,degradation or translation.The abnormality of m^(6)A RNA modification is closely related to a variety of biological processes,especially the occurrence and development of tumors.Recent studies have shown that m^(6)A RNA modification is involved in the pathogenesis of skin cancers.However,the precise molecular mechanisms of m^(6)A-mediated cutaneous tumorigenesis have not been fully elucidated.Therefore,this review will summarize the biological characteristics of m^(6)A modification,its regulatory role and mechanism in skin cancers,and the recent research progress of m^(6)A-related molecular drugs,aiming to provide new ideas for clinical diagnosis and targeted therapy of cutaneous cancers.
