Abstract

Protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT)1, methylating both histones and key cellular proteins, has emerged as a key regulator of various cellular processes. This study aimed to identify the mechanism that regulates PRMT1 in chronic Ag-induced pulmonary inflammation (AIPI) in the E3 rat asthma model. E3 rats were challenged with OVA for 1 or 8 wk to induce acute or chronic AIPI. Expression of mRNAs was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. PRMT1, TGF-beta, COX2, and vascular endothelial growth factor protein expression in lung tissues was determined by immunohistochemistry staining and Western blotting. In the in vitro study, IL-4-stimulated lung epithelial cell (A549) medium (ISEM) with or without anti-TGF-beta Ab was applied to human fibroblasts from lung (HFL1). The proliferation of HFL1 was determined by MTT. AMI-1 (pan-PRMT inhibitor) was administered intranasally to chronic AIPI rats to determine PRMT effects on asthmatic parameters. In lung tissue sections, PRMT1 expression was significantly upregulated, mainly in epithelial cells, in acute AIPI lungs, whereas it was significantly upregulated mainly in fibroblasts in chronic AIPI lungs. The in vitro study revealed that ISEM elevates PRMT1, COX2, and vascular endothelial growth factor expressions, and it promoted fibroblast proliferation. The application of anti-TGF-beta Ab suppressed COX2 upregulation by ISEM. AMI-1 inhibited the expression of COX2 in TGF-beta-stimulated cells. In the in vivo experiment, AMI-1 administered to AIPI rats reduced COX2 production and humoral immune response, and it abrogated mucus secretion and collagen generation. These findings suggested that TGF-beta-induced PRMT1 expression participates in fibroblast proliferation and chronic airway inflammation in AIPI.
