NAT10 promotes ovarian cancer cell migration, invasion, and stemness via N4-acetylcytidine modification of CAPRIN1.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological tumor. N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification, catalyzed by the acetyltransferase NAT10, is involved in the occurrence and development of cancers. This study aimed to investigate the role of NAT10 in OC and the underlying molecular mechanisms. The expression of NAT10 and CAPRIN1 in OC cells lines were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting. Biological behaviors of OC cells were evaluated using EdU, Transwell, sphere formation, and immunoblotting assays. The molecular mechanism of NAT10 function was analyzed using bioinformatics, ac4C- RNA immunoprecipitation, and actinomycin D treatment assay. The effect of NAT10 on OC progression in vivo was evaluated using xenograft tumor model. The results in
