Core Tip Epigenetic modifications are dynamic, reversible, and heritable chemical changes to biomolecules that occur without altering the sequence of nuclear DNA. Among these, the RNA modification 5-methylcytosine has garnered increasing attention. However, the roles of RNA modification 5-methylcytosine modifications and their modifying enzymes in gene regulation and chromatin organization remain largely unclear. While previous studies have reported the involvement of NOP2/sun RNA methyltransferase 5 in human cancers, its comprehensive role in hepatocellular carcinoma remains unexplored. Therefore, this study evaluates the effects of NOP2/sun RNA methyltransferase 5 on hepatocellular carcinoma cell growth, migration, and invasion at the cellular level.
