Disease relevance of PLAGL1

 

High impact information on PLAGL1

 

Biological context of PLAGL1

  • In contrast, PLAGL1 has been shown to prevent the proliferation of tumor cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis [8].
  • Together with PLAGL1 and PLAGL2, PLAG1 belongs to a subfamily of C(2)H(2) zinc finger transcription factors that activate transcription through binding to the bipartite consensus sequence GRGGC(N)(6-8)GGG [9].
  • Genome mapping of LOT1 in comparison with the other splice variants, namely ZAC1 and PLAGL1, revealed that its mRNA ( approximately 4.7 kb; GenBank accession number U76261) is potentially spliced using six exons spanning at least 70 kb of the human genome [10].
  • We now report that a transgene carrying the human HYMAI/PLAGL1 DMR was methylated in the correct parent-origin-specific manner in mice and this was sufficient to confer imprinted expression from the transgene [11].
  • We conclude that down-regulation of PLAGL1 may be a significant contributing factor in the development of EMC tumors [1].
 

Anatomical context of PLAGL1

  • A differential display analysis has identified the PLAGL1 gene as being down-regulated in the CFK2(EWS/NOR1) cell line compared to native CFK2 cells [1].
  • RT-PCR analyses show that whereas the PLAGL1 mRNAs encoding the two isoforms of the protein are highly expressed in four human chondrocyte immortalized cell lines and two human chondrocyte primary cultures, they are strongly down-regulated in six EMC tumors [1].
  • Collectively, these results indicate that PLAGL1 is not likely to be the major target gene of the 6q rearrangements in salivary gland tumors [3].
  • We previously reported cloning the rLot1 gene, and its human homolog (hLOT1), through analysis of differential gene expression in normal and malignant rat ovarian surface epithelial cells [12].
  • The enhancement of p53 activity by Zac1 was much more dramatic in HeLa cells than in other cell lines tested [13].
