22987071Here, we report that protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6), a type I PRMT known to act as a transcriptional cofactor, directly represses the p21 promoter
22987071PRMT6 knock-down (KD) results in a p21 derepression in breast cancer cells, which is p53-independent, and leads to cell cycle arrest, cellular senescence and reduced growth in soft agar assays and in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice for all the cancer lines examined
22987071We conclude that PRMT6 acts as an oncogene in breast cancer cells, promoting growth and preventing senescence, making it an attractive target for cancer therapy
22904064Ablation of PRMT6 reveals a role as a negative transcriptional regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor
22904064Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) has been shown to function as a transcriptional repressor by methylating the histone H3 arginine 2 [H3R2(me2a)] repressive mark; however, few targets are known
22904064To define the physiological role of PRMT6 and to identify its targets, we generated PRMT6(-/-) mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs)
22904064We observed that early passage PRMT6(-/-) MEFs had growth defects and exhibited the hallmarks of cellular senescence
22904064PRMT6(-/-) MEFs displayed high transcriptional levels of p53 and its targets, p21 and PML
22904064Generation of PRMT6(-/-); p53(-/-) MEFs prevented the premature senescence, suggesting that the induction of senescence is p53-dependent
22904064Using chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, we observed an enrichment of PRMT6 and H3R2(me2a) within the upstream region of Trp53
22904064The PRMT6 association and the H3R2(me2a) mark were lost in PRMT6(-/-) MEFs and an increase in the H3K4(me3) activator mark was observed
22904064Our findings define a new regulator of p53 transcriptional regulation and define a role for PRMT6 and arginine methylation in cellular senescence
18676353When the expression of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs), namely PRMT1, PRMT4, PRMT5 and PRMT6 was examined, a significant reduction was found in replicatively senescent cells as well as their catalytic activities against histone mixtures compared with the young cells
18676353Furthermore, when the endogenous level of arginine-dimethylated proteins was determined, asymmetric modification (the product of type I PRMTs including PRMT1, PRMT4 and PRMT6) was markedly down-regulated
