FTO silencing can increase the methylation level of eIF4G1, and YTHDF2 can recognize the methylation site of eIF4G1, which leads to mRNA degradation and reduced eIF4G1 protein expression, thereby promoting autophagy and reducing the occurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) [18]. This evidence concerns the gene EIF4G1 and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.
