Abstract
The incidence rates of colorectal cancer have been increasing in the last decades, yet the overall survival rate is still not ideal. There is a need to further investigate detailed mechanism for colorectal cancer tumorigenesis. The biological function of protein arginine methyltransferases 3 (PRMT3) is seldom studied in tumorigenesis. Here, we attempted to elucidate the link between PRMT3 and tumorigenesis in colorectal cancer. Results revealed that PRMT3 was upregulated in colorectal cancer. Besides, PRMT3 overexpression promoted colorectal cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Regarding mechanism for colorectal cancer tumorigenesis, PRMT3 stabilized C-MYC and the pro-tumorigenesis function of PRMT3 was dependent on C-MYC. Clinically, these findings might provide a novel therapeutical treatment strategy for colorectal cancer.
