Arginine Methylation of Hepatic hnRNP H Suppresses Complement Activation and Systemic Inflammation in Alcohol‐Fed Mice
2021
Overview
Protein arginine methyl transferase 1 (PRMT1) is the main enzyme for cellular arginine methylation. It regulates many aspects of liver biology including inflammation, lipid metabolism, and proliferation. Previously we identified that PRMT1 is necessary for protection from alcohol‐induced liver injury. However, many PRMT1 targets in the liver after alcohol exposure are not yet identified. We studied the changes in the PRMT1‐dependent arginine methylated proteome after alcohol feeding in mouse liver using mass spectrometry. We found that arginine methylation of the RNA‐binding protein (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein [hnRNP]) H1 is mediated by PRMT1 and is altered in alcohol‐fed mice. PRMT1‐dependent methylation suppressed hnRNP H1 binding to several messenger RNAs of complement pathway including complement component C3. We found that PRMT1‐dependent hnRNP H methylation suppressed complement component expression in vitro, and phosphorylation is required for this function of PRMT1. In agreement with that finding, hepatocyte‐specific PRMT1 knockout mice had an increase in complement component expression in the liver. Excessive complement expression in alcohol‐fed PRMT1 knockout mice resulted in further complement activation and an increase in serum C3a and C5a levels, which correlated with inflammation in multiple organs including lung and adipose tissue. Using specific inhibitors to block C3aR and C5aR receptors, we were able to prevent lung and adipose tissue inflammation without affecting inflammation in the liver or liver injury. Conclusion: Taken together, these data suggest that PRMT1‐dependent suppression of complement production in the liver is necessary for prevention of systemic inflammation in alcohol‐fed mice. C3a and C5a play a role in this liver–lung and liver–adipose interaction in alcohol‐fed mice deficient in liver arginine methylation.
