Moreover, previous study proved that PRMT5‐mediated EGFR Arg1175 methylation positively modulates EGF‐induced EGFR trans‐autophosphorylation at Tyr 1173, but have no effect on EGFR trans‐autophosphorylation at Tyr 1086, 845, 992, 1045 and 1148.17 Herein, we for the first time find that PRMT5 promotes the autophosphorylation of EGFR at Y1068 and Y1172 to activate Akt‐β‐catenin axis in pancreatic cancer cells. This evidence concerns the gene EGF and familial pancreatic carcinoma.
