Observed that expression of PRMT1 was increased in IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) lung fibroblasts and IPF lungs and in lungs of bleomycin-treated mice, and PRMT1 knockdown or inhibition of PRMT activity reduced IPF fibroblast motility (Yan et al., 2022). This evidence concerns the gene PRMT1 and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
