Review reveals n6-methyladenosine's impact on tumor progression in cervical cancer, suggesting it as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target.
Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women worldwide. Its primary etiology is closely associated with human papillomavirus infection, which poses a serious threat to the health of women. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications notably affect the biological characteristics of tumor cells, such as their proliferation, metastasis and chemoresistance, by regulating the stability, translation and degradation of RNA. It also serves an important regulatory role in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer. The present review details the mechanisms underlying m6A modification in cervical cancer and analyzes its impact on tumor progression. Moreover, it explores the potential clinical applications of m6A modification as a biomarker and therapeutic target to provide new insights and evidence regarding the early diagnosis and individualized treatment of patients with cervical cancer.
