Abstract
Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1), the predominant type I protein arginine methyltransferase, plays a crucial role in normal biological functions by catalyzing the methylation of arginine side chains, specifically monomethylarginine (MMA) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), within proteins. Recent investigations have unveiled an association between dysregulated PRMT1 expression and the initiation and progression of tumors, significantly impacting patient prognosis, attributed to PRMT1's involvement in regulating various facets of tumor cell biology, including DNA damage repair, transcriptional and translational regulation, as well as signal transduction. In this review, we present an overview of recent advancements in PRMT1 research across different tumor types, with a specific focus on its contributions to tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, invasion, and drug resistance. Additionally, we expound on the dynamic functions of PRMT1 during distinct stages of cancer progression, elucidating its unique regulatory mechanisms within the same signaling pathway and distinguishing between its promotive and inhibitory effects. Importantly, we sought to provide a comprehensive summary and analysis of recent research progress on PRMT1 in tumors, contributing to a deeper understanding of its role in tumorigenesis, development, and potential treatment strategies.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is known to be an inseparable factor involved in the presentation of liver disorders. Free radicals interfere with DNA, proteins, and lipids, which are crucial in liver metabolism, changing their expression and biological functions. Additionally, oxidative stress modifies the function of micro-RNAs, impairing the metabolism of hepatocytes. Free radicals have also been proven to influence the function of certain transcriptional factors and to alter the cell cycle. The pathological appearance of alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) constitutes an ideal example of harmful effects due to the redox state. Finally, ethanol-induced toxicity and overproduction of free radicals provoke irreversible changes within liver parenchyma. Understanding the underlying mechanisms associated with the redox state in the course of ALD creates new possibilities of treatment for patients. The future of hepatology may become directly dependent on the effective action against reactive oxygen species. This review summarizes current data on the redox state in the natural history of ALD, highlighting the newest reports on this topic.

Profiling PRMT methylome reveals roles of hnRNPA1 arginine methylation in RNA splicing and cell growth. Nat Commun 2021; 12:1946. [PMID: 33782401 PMCID: PMC8007824 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-21963-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 72] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 02/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Numerous substrates have been identified for Type I and II arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). However, the full substrate spectrum of the only type III PRMT, PRMT7, and its connection to type I and II PRMT substrates remains unknown. Here, we use mass spectrometry to reveal features of PRMT7-regulated methylation. We find that PRMT7 predominantly methylates a glycine and arginine motif; multiple PRMT7-regulated arginine methylation sites are close to phosphorylations sites; methylation sites and proximal sequences are vulnerable to cancer mutations; and methylation is enriched in proteins associated with spliceosome and RNA-related pathways. We show that PRMT4/5/7-mediated arginine methylation regulates hnRNPA1 binding to RNA and several alternative splicing events. In breast, colorectal and prostate cancer cells, PRMT4/5/7 are upregulated and associated with high levels of hnRNPA1 arginine methylation and aberrant alternative splicing. Pharmacological inhibition of PRMT4/5/7 suppresses cancer cell growth and their co-inhibition shows synergistic effects, suggesting them as targets for cancer therapy. Arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are involved in the regulation of various physiological and pathological conditions. Using proteomics, the authors here profile the methylation substrates of PRMTs 4, 5 and 7 and characterize the roles of these enzymes in cancer-associated splicing regulation.

The role of protein arginine methyltransferases in kidney diseases. Clin Sci (Lond) 2020; 134:2037-2051.

Abstract
The methylation of arginine residues by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) is a crucial post-translational modification for many biological processes, including DNA repair, RNA processing, and transduction of intra- and extracellular signaling. Previous studies have reported that PRMTs are extensively involved in various pathologic states, including cancer, inflammation, and oxidative stress reaction. However, the role of PRMTs has not been well described in kidney diseases. Recent studies have shown that aberrant function of PRMTs and its metabolic products-symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA)-are involved in several renal pathological processes, including renal fibrosis, acute kidney injury (AKI), diabetic nephropathy (DN), hypertension, graft rejection and renal tumors. We aim in this review to elucidate the possible roles of PRMTs in normal renal function and various kidney diseases.

Abstract
Protein Arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is the main enzyme of cellular arginine methylation. Previously we found that PRMT1 activity in the liver is altered after alcohol exposure resulting in epigenetic changes. To determine the impact of these PRMT1 changes on the liver's response to alcohol, we induced a hepatocyte specific PRMT1 knockout using AAV mediated Cre delivery in mice fed either alcohol or control Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet. We found that in alcohol fed mice, PRMT1 prevents oxidative stress and promotes hepatocyte survival. PRMT1 knockout in alcohol fed mice resulted in a dramatic increase in hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis. Additionally, we found that alcohol promotes PRMT1 dephosphorylation at S297. Phosphorylation at this site is necessary for PRMT1-dependent protein arginine methylation. PRMT1 S297A, a dephosphorylation mimic of PRMT1 had reduced ability to promote gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, pro-apoptotic genes BIM and TRAIL and expression of a suppressor of hepatocyte proliferation, Hnf4α. On the other hand, several functions of PRMT1 were phosphorylation-independent, including expression of oxidative stress response genes, Sod1, Sod2 and others. In vitro, both wild type and S297A PRMT1 protected hepatocytes from oxidative stress induced apoptosis, however S297D phosphorylation mimic PRMT1 promoted cell death. Taken together these data suggest that PRMT1 is an essential factor of liver adaptation to alcohol; alcohol-induced dephosphorylation shifts PRMT1 toward a less pro-inflammatory, more pro-proliferative and pro-survival form.

Knockdown of PRMT1 suppresses IL-1β-induced cartilage degradation and inflammatory responses in human chondrocytes through Gli1-mediated Hedgehog signaling pathway. Mol Cell Biochem 2017; 438:17-24.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by articular cartilage degradation and joint inflammation. The purpose of the present study is to elucidate the role of the specific function of PRMT1 in chondrocytes and its association with the pathophysiology of OA. We observed that the expression of PRMT1 was apparently upregulated in OA cartilage, as well as in chondrocytes stimulated with IL-1β. Additionally, knockdown of PRMT1 suppressed interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β)-induced extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolic imbalance by regulating the expression of MMP-13, ADAMTS-5, COL2A1, and ACAN. Furthermore, silencing of PRMT1 dramatically declined the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and nitric oxide as well as the level of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and TNF-α. Mechanistic analyses further revealed that IL-1β-induced activation of the Hedgehog/Gli-1 signaling is suppressed upon PRMT1 knockdown. However, the effects of inhibition of PRMT1-mediated IL-1β-induced cartilage matrix degradation and inflammatory response in OA chondrocytes were obviously abolished by Hedgehog agonist Purmorphamine (Pur). Our data collectively suggest that silencing of PRMT1 exerts anti-catabolic and anti-inflammatory effects on IL-1β-induced chondrocytes via suppressing the Gli-1 mediated Hedgehog signaling pathway, indicating that PRMT1 plays a critical role in OA development and serves as a promising therapeutic target for OA.
