PRMT1 alleviates isoprenaline-induced myocardial hypertrophy by methylating SRSF1 by Yan Zi, Zhao Wenhui, Zhao Naixin, Liu Yufeng, Yang Bowen, Wang Li, Liu Jingyi, Wang Deping, Wang Jin, Jiao Xiangying, Cao Jimin, Li Jianguo

“…In addition, there is an interaction between PRMT1 and SRSF1, whereby PRMT1 reduces the phosphorylation level of SRSF1 via methylation, thus further altering its functional activity and eventually improving MH. Our present study demonstrates that PRMT1 relieves MH by methylating SRSF1, which is expected to provide a new theoretical basis for the pathogenic mechanism of MH and potential drug targets for reducing MH and associated cardiovascular disease.…”
