Validation of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) as a candidate therapeutic target in the spontaneous canine model of non-Hodgkin lymphoma [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Targeting PRMT5 in canine lymphoma: we characterized expression patterns of PRMT5 in canine lymphomas and correlated these with histological subtypes using tissue microarrays. We characterized expression of PRMT5 in three canine lymphoma-derived cell lines and primary lymph node biopsies. We have demonstrated that inhibition of PRMT5 leads to growth suppression and induction of apoptosis in canine lymphoma cell lines and primary canine lymphoma cells in a time and dose-dependent manner, while selectively decreasing global marks of symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and histone H4 arginine 3 symmetric di-methylation. We performed ATAC-sequencing with pathway enrichment analysis to characterize genome-wide changes in chromatin accessibility after PRMT5 inhibition. We performed gene expression microarrays with pathway analysis to characterize whole transcriptome changes in canine lymphoma cell lines treated with PRMT5 inhibitors. This work validates PRMT5 as a promising therapeutic target for canine lymphoma and supports the continued used of the spontaneously occurring canine lymphoma model for the preclinical development of PRMT5 inhibitors for the treatment of human NHL.

Project description:PRMT5 is the major enzyme that catalyzes the symmetric dimethylation of arginine (sDMA) in mammalian cells. Its activity is crucial for many biological processes including transcriptional regulation, mRNA processing, as well as DNA damage and repair. However, the protein substrates identified for PRMT5 have yet been limited in numbers, hindering the understanding of PRMT5 functions in normal as well as diseased cells. Herein we developed an optimized strategy for proteomic profiling of cellular sDMA and apply it to the discovery of novel PRMT5 substrates. Our results show that a combination of proteolytic digestion by the metalloprotease ulilysin and using electron-transfer dissociation with supplemental activation as the mass spectrometry method significantly increased sDMA site identification and localization after immuno-affinity enrichment. By employing SILAC-based differential quantitative proteomic approach and a PRMT5 specific inhibitor, we identified 325 sDMA sites being regulated by PRMT5, 220 being novel sites, which greatly expanded the number of PRMT5 substrates. Biochemical studies confirmed the newly discovered PRMT5 substrate, Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 RNA-binding protein (SERBP1) and revealed that the RGG/RG motif in the central region of SERBP1 contains both PRMT5-catalyzed sDMA and Type I PRMT-catalyzed asymmetric dimethylation of arginine (aDMA). Unexpectedly, using the optimized methylarginine profiling strategy, we also discovered arginine trimethylation, a previously unknown type of modification, on the central RGG/RG region of SERBP1. By mutational studies we demonstrated that the trimethyl modification on R172 of SERBP1 regulates its recruitment to stress granule (SG) under oxidative stress, indicating a functional role of arginine trimethylation in the cell. Overall, the optimized profiling strategy not only enabled the identification of extensive, non-overlapping sDMA sites and novel PRMT5 substrates, but also revealed a potentially important new PTM, arginine trimethylation. The work lays the foundation for further investigations on the functional interplay of different methylation modifications on arginines, especially in the heavily methylated RGG/RG motif of many RNA-binding proteins.
