Figure 7. Schematic diagram of cell type specific regulation of PRMT1.

Figure 7

In epithelial cells, IL-4 activated STAT6 signaling and then PRMT1 expression was up-regulated, while IL-1β increased RKIP and IκB expression and restrained the NF-κB signaling (A). In fibroblasts, up-regulated PIAS1 inhibit STAT6 signal pathway which is integral for IL-4 induced PRMT1 up-regulation, and IL-1β up-regulated PRMT1 expression via NF-κB signaling pathway (B). The mechanism explains why in acute asthma, the PRMT1 expression up-regulated in epithelium, while in chronic asthma, PRMT1 is up-regulated in fibroblasts.
