Abstract: 【Abstract】 N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification can regulate gene expression by influencing RNA stability, nuclear transport, translation efficiency, alternative splicing and degradation. Current studies have shown that m6A modification is associated with multiple biological behaviors of melanoma, such as proliferation, metastasis and resistance to immunotherapy, but specific mechanisms still need further study. This review summarizes the regulation of m6A RNA methylation, and its related biological behaviors and mechanisms of action in melanoma.

Key words: Melanoma, RNA methylation, m6A
