Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) Inhibition Induces Lymphoma Cell Death through Reactivation of the Retinoblastoma Tumor Suppressor Pathway and Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) Silencing.

Background: PRMT5, PRC2, and cyclin D1 are overexpressed in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Results: PRMT5 expression inversely correlates with levels of hypophospho-RB1 and RBL2. Conclusion: PRMT5 inhibition reactivates RB1 and RBL2 and silences PRC2 and cyclin D1. Significance: PRMT5 inhibition results in NHL growth arrest and cell death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
