ABSTRACT
Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are widely found in eukaryotes and regulate gene expression and post-translational modifications. PRMT1-PRMT6 have important roles in the pathology of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including atherosclerosis, heart failure and myocardial hypertrophy. Although these enzymes are also closely associated with various CVDs, the mechanisms of the involvement of PRMTs in the regulation of CVD have remained largely elusive. PRMTs methylate arginine residues and other factors. The present review describes the roles of PRMT1-PRMT6 in CVD. Furthermore, the biological characteristics of PRMTs and mechanisms by which PRMTs regulate cholesterol metabolism are being introduced. This review aims to provide inspiration for cardiovascular drug research and offer clues for research on the pathogenesis of CVD.
