Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common bone malignancy in adolescents and has poor clinical outcomes. Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) has recently been shown to be aberrantly expressed in various cancers, yet its role in OS remains elusive. Here, we found that PRMT5 was overexpressed in OS and its overexpression predicted poor clinical outcomes. PRMT5 knockdown significantly triggered pronounced senescence in OS cells, as evidenced by the increase in senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal)-stained cells, induction of p21 expression, and upregulation of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) gene expression. In addition, we found that PRMT5 plays a key role in regulating DNA damaging agents-induced OS cell senescence, possibly, via affecting the repair of DNA damage. Furthermore, we found that TXNIP acts as a key factor mediating PRMT5 depletion-induced DNA damage and cellular senescence. Mechanistically, TRIM21, which interacts with PRMT5, was essential for the regulation of TXNIP/p21 expression. In summary, we propose a model in which PRMT5, by interaction with TRIM21, plays a key role in regulating the TXNIP/p21 axis during senescence in OS cells. The present findings suggest that PRMT5 overexpression in OS cells might confer resistance to chemotherapy and that targeting the PRMT5/TRIM21/TXNIP signaling may enhance the therapeutic efficacy in OS.
