Protein arginine ( N )-methyl transferase 7 (PRMT7) as a potential target for the sensitization of tumor cells to camptothecins
Abstract : PRMT7 belongs to the protein arginine methyl-transferases family. We show that downregulation of PRMT7alpha and beta isoforms in DC-3F hamster cells was associated with increased sensitivity to the Top1 inhibitor camptothecin (CPT). This effect was not due to a change in Top1 contents or catalytic activity, or to a difference in the reversal of DNA breaks. Overexpression of PRMT7alpha and beta in DC-3F cells had no effect on CPT sensitivity, whereas it conferred a resistance to DC-3F/9-OH-E cells for which both isoforms are reduced by two- to three-fold as compared to DC-3F parental cells. Finally, downregulation of the human PRMT7 could also sensitize HeLa cells to CPT, suggesting that it could be used as a target to potentiate CPT derivatives.
