However, information regarding the transcriptional circuitry that governs lipolysis remains incomplete in T1DM. Protein arginine methyltransferase 4 (PRMT4), a transcriptional coactivation factor, promotes autophagy and may play an important role in lipolysis. We wonder whether activated lipolysis in T1DM is regulated by PRMT4.Materials and Methods: Recombinant adeno-associated virus was adopted to overexpress PRMT4 in adipose tissue of mice. Streptozotocin (150 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally into mice to induce T1DM. Plasma insulin, triglycerides, free fatty acids (FFAs) levels were determined using commercial assay kits. Differentiated adipocytes were applied to verify the regulation of PRMT4 on lipolysis.Results: Elevated serum triglycerides and FFAs were observed in PRMT4-overexpressed T1DM mice. We also observed that PRMT4 over-expression induced the decrease of fat pads weights and adipocyte sizes. Moreover, expression levels of lipolysis-related molecules, including ATGL, HSL, and MAGL, and HSL phosphorylation levels were increased in PRMT4-overexpressed mice when compared to those of control mice. In vitro, PRMT4 promoted FFAs release and activated HSL phosphorylation, whereas PRMT4 knockdown inhibited these processes.Conclusion: PRMT4 promotes lipolysis and increases serum triglyceride in T1DM.Keywords: type 1 diabetic mice, hypertriglyceridemia, protein arginine methyltransferase 4, lipolysisLi YPeng MZeng TZheng JLiao YZhang HYang SChen LDove Medical Pressarticletype 1 diabetic micehypertriglyceridemiaprotein arginine methyltransferase 4lipolysisSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 535-544 (2020)
