Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and young adults and has a poor prognosis. Recent developments in the field of high-throughput sequencing technology, particularly in methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq), have led to renewed interest in RNA methylation. Among the various RNA modifications, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications are the most common. Emerging evidence suggests that m6A methylation can affect the complexity of cancer progression by regulating biological functions related to cancer. In this review, we will shed light on recent findings regarding the biological function of m6A methylation in OS and discuss future research directions and potential clinical applications of RNA methyltransferases in OS.
