Abstract:
Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) promote the methylation of numerous proteins at their arginine residues. An increasing number of publications have suggested that dysregulation of PRMTs participates in various human diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. Inflammation is one normal response to infection or injury by immune system, which can keep body homeostasis. Emerging data reveal that inflammation is associated with the development of numerous diseases. Moreover, accumulated evidence proves that PRMTs have been characterized to regulate inflammation in various diseases. In this review article, we delineate the function and molecular mechanism of PRMTs in regulation of inflammation in current literature. Moreover, we discuss that targeting PRMTs by its inhibitors and compounds could have therapeutic potential.
