Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) is a major environmental factor driving NSCLC progression, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) is implicated in various malignancies, including NSCLC, and epithelial\u2013mesenchymal transition (EMT) contributes to metastasis and poor prognosis in this disease. However, the role of PRMT6 in CSE\u2010induced NSCLC progression has not been elucidated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>NSCLC progression under CSE exposure was assessed using a subcutaneous xenograft model in nude mice and in\u00a0vitro assays in H1299 cells. Tumor growth and molecular alterations were evaluated by immunohistochemistry, CCK\u20108, wound healing, Transwell, immunofluorescence, qRT\u2010PCR, and western blotting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CSE exposure enhanced H1299 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in\u00a0vitro and promoted xenograft tumor growth in\u00a0vivo. This was accompanied by upregulated expression of PRMT6 and its effector H3R2me2a, elevated mesenchymal markers (N\u2010cadherin, MMP2, MMP9, vimentin), and transcription factors (Snail, TWIST1), and increased phosphorylation of PI3K p85, Akt, and mTOR. Notably, all CSE\u2010induced effects were abrogated by the PRMT6 inhibitor EPZ020411.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CSE promotes NSCLC progression by upregulating PRMT6, leading to PI3K\/Akt\/mTOR activation and EMT induction.
