TNF-α initiates the expression of genes involved in the recruitment, adhesion, and transmigration of leukocytes to sites of inflammation. Here, we report that the protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 is required for the transcriptional induction of the pro-inflammatory chemokine CXCL10 (IP-10) in endothelial cells. Depletion of PRMT5 by siRNA results in significantly diminished TNF-α-induced CXCL10 mRNA expression, but does not affect expression of other chemokines, such as MCP-1 or IL-8. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments of the CXCL10 proximal promoter show the presence of symmetrical dimethylated arginine (sDMA)-containing proteins upon exposure to TNF-α. This methylation is completely lost when PRMT5 is removed from cells by siRNA. Using immunoprecipitation, we show that PRMT5 enhances CXCL10 expression by methylating the RelA (p65) subunit of NF-κB. In summary, we have identified that PRMT5 is a novel regulator of CXCL10 expression. Further, we have discovered that PRMT5 methylates NF-κB, a finding which may further knowledge of the post-translational code governing NF-κB regulation and target specificity.

Abstract The novel insulin-secreting human pancreatic β-cell line, 1.1B4, demonstrates stability in culture and many of the secretory functional attributes of human pancreatic β-cells. This study investigated the cellular responses of 1.1B4 cells to lipotoxicity. Chronic 18-h exposure of 1.1B4 cells to 0.5 mm palmitate resulted in decreased cell viability and insulin content. Secretory responses to classical insulinotropic agents and cellular Ca2+ handling were also impaired. Palmitate decreased glucokinase activity and mRNA expression of genes involved in secretory function but up-regulated mRNA expression of HSPA5, EIF2A, and EIF2AK3, implicating activation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response. Palmitate also induced DNA damage and apoptosis of 1.1B4 cells. These responses were accompanied by increased gene expression of the antioxidant enzymes SOD1, SOD2, CAT and GPX1. This study details molecular mechanisms underlying lipotoxicity in 1.1B4 cells and indicates the potential value of the novel β-cell line for future research.
