Objective To investigate the expression of protein arginine methyhransferase 2 (PRMT2) and its novel variants PRMT2α,PRMT213,PRMT25, in different human breast cancer cell lines. Methods The total RNA was extracted from the ERα positive breast cancer cells (ZR-75-1, BT474,T47D, MCF-7) and ERct negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-453, SK-BR-3, MDA-MB-231 ) ,and real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of PRMT2 and its variants mRNA in these cells. Results The expressions of PRMT2 and its variants were detectable in different human...
