5-methylcytidine (m5C) is a significant component of RNA found in various organisms, including Escherichia coli, plants, and animals. This modification is integral to the DNA methylation processes studied in epigenetics, where it influences gene expression and cellular identity. 5-methylcytidine is a methylated pyrimidine that enhances stacking interactions within nucleic acids, contributing to increased thermal stability of RNA structures. This property is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of RNA during various biological processes, including translation and gene regulation. Changes in the levels of m5C can influence gene expression patterns, contributing to developmental processes and disease mechanisms, including cancer. Research indicates that alterations in m5C levels may serve as biomarkers for certain conditions, providing insights into cellular state and potential therapeutic targets.

Given its critical role in various biological processes and disease mechanisms, a comprehensive understanding of m5C modification in RNA is essential. This can help in identifying therapeutic targets and developing effective treatments for diseases associated with m5C modification. Additionally, m5C can also be used as a potential biomarker for disease diagnosis and prognosis.
