Disease relevance of CARM1

  • The staining intensity for CARM1 was significantly lower in benign prostate tissue specimens compared with PIN and prostatic adenocarcinoma specimens (P < 0.001) [1].
  • Expression of CARM1 was not correlated with age, Gleason score sum, pathologic stage, lymph node metastasis, extraprostatic extension, surgical margin status, vascular invasion, or perineural invasion [1].
  • METHODS: The expression of CARM1 in normal prostate epithelium, high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), and prostate carcinoma tissue was examined in 66 previously untreated patients with prostate carcinomas, as well as 12 patients with hormone-independent prostate carcinoma, using immunohistochemical methods [1].
  • First, transfection studies demonstrated that overexpression of CARM1 wild-type protein resulted in increased Tax transactivation of the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR) [2].
  • The identification of splicing factors that are methylated by CARM1, and protein-protein interactions that are regulated by CARM1, strongly implicates this enzyme in the regulation of alternative splicing and points toward its involvement in spinal muscular atrophy pathogenesis [3].
 

High impact information on CARM1

 

Chemical compound and disease context of CARM1

  • In the 12 patients with androgen-independent prostatic adenocarcinoma, the expression of CARM1 was significantly increased when compared with patients without previous hormonal treatment [1].
 

Biological context of CARM1

 

Anatomical context of CARM1

  • Loss of CARM1 results in hypomethylation of thymocyte cyclic AMP-regulated phosphoprotein and deregulated early T cell development [11].
  • They also demonstrate for the first time that CARM1 occupancy, histone H3-R17 methylation, and citrullination are regulated at the promoters of inflammatory genes in monocytes, thereby suggesting a novel role for histone arginine modifications in inflammatory diseases [12].
  • CARM1 regulates proliferation of PC12 cells by methylating HuD [13].
 

Associations of CARM1 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of CARM1

 

Regulatory relationships of CARM1

  • CARM1 synergizes with CIITA in activating MHC-II transcription and synergy is abrogated when an arginine methyltransferase-defective CARM1 mutant is used [10].
  • Together, our data provide evidence that CARM1 enhances Tax transactivation of the HTLV-1 LTR through a direct interaction between CARM1 and Tax and this binding promotes methylation of histone H3 (R2, R17, and R26) [2].
