A comprehensive investigation of PRMT5 in the prognosis and ion channel features of lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: The increasing incidence and mortality associated with lung cancer (LC) is a significant global health challenge. The underlying mechanisms contributing to LC remain inadequately understood. However, emerging evidence suggests that the epigenetic modifier protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) plays a complex role in various cellular processes, including DNA repair, gene transcription, and alternative splicing, through its function in catalyzing the symmetric dimethylation of both histone and non-histone proteins. In this study, we examined the functional role of PRMT5 utilizing LC-related datasets (GSE30219, GSE50081, and TCGA LC cohort) through a series of analyses. Our findings revealed that PRMT5 was significantly overexpressed in LC samples compared to normal tissues and was cor
