Key Words Hepatocellular carcinoma; PRMT5; HLCL-61; Apoptosis; Symmetrical dimethylation
Core Tip High PRMT5 expression was correlated with a worse prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and inhibition of PRMT5 expression significantly decreased the viability of HCC cells by inducing apoptosis. Mechanistically, PRMT5 dually suppressed the promoter activity of the apoptosis-inducing factor DDIT3 by increasing H4R3me2 modification and recruiting STAT3 to its promoter. The PRMT5 inhibitor HLCL-61 exerted excellent inhibitory efficacy on HCC cells and tissue derived tumors. In general, our study demonstrated that PRMT5 served as an adaptor for STAT3, displaying a dual inhibitory role on DDIT3 transcription to promote apoptosis resistance, and provided that its inhibitor HLCL-61 was an alternative therapeutic approach of HCC.
