Plagl1 and Lrrc58 control mammalian body size by triggering target-directed microRNA degradation of miR-322 and miR-503
Precise control of microRNA (miRNA) expression is critical during development. An important mechanism of miRNA regulation is target-directed microRNA degradation (TDMD), a pathway in which the binding...

Interestingly, Plagl1 encodes a transcription factor that promotes embryonic growth by transactivating Igf2 expression. This function likely synergizes with the noncoding function of this mRNA in removing the growth suppressing miRNA miR-322 through TDMD.

Altogether, this study provides a valuable dataset that will facilitate identification of additional mammalian TDMD triggers and establishes the existence of a Plagl1/Lrrc58-mediated TDMD pathway that plays a major role in regulating mammalian body size. /end

The PLAGL1-KLF4-IRX5 axis promotes the osteogenesis of periosteal progenitors during mandible regeneration | Nature Communications
Transcription factor (TF) networks are pivotal regulators of stem/progenitor cell fate. However, the regulatory mechanisms mediated by key TFs in adult periosteal stem/progenitor cells (PSPCs) remain poorly understood, impeding targeted therapies development for craniofacial bone regeneration. By integrating an analysis of regeneration-related, tissue-specific TF networks with insights from embryonic development, we demonstrate that the imprinted TF PLAGL1 is critical for the osteoblast differentiation of PSPCs and that the loss of Plagl1 compromises mandibular bone regeneration. Mechanistically, PLAGL1 transcriptionally activates TF Irx5 synergistically with TF KLF4, thereby inducing the expression of downstream osteogenic genes. Using the CRISPR-dCas9-Tet1-CD/sgRNA system, we develop a differentially methylated region-targeted therapeutic strategy to reactivate the maternal allele of Plagl1, leveraging its imprinted function to promote mandibular bone regeneration.

But the presumptive triggers that induce TDMD of miR-322/503 have remained elusive until now. We show here that Plagl1 and Lrrc58 are the long-sought trigger RNAs for TDMD of miR-322 and miR-503, respectively.

"We present the most comprehensive MRI data series on ET, PLAGL, a rare embryonal tumor in children and adolescents. It is not possible to distinguish between PLAGL1- and PLAGL2-amplified tumors on the basis of imaging, nor can ET, PLAGL be differentiated from other embryonal CNS tumors."
