High impact information on Hoxd11

  • Using embryonic stem (ES) cells and a site-specific recombination system (loxP/Cre), we have induced a deficiency that eliminates the products of the Hoxd-13, Hoxd-12 and Hoxd-11 genes simultaneously [1].
  • A Hoxd-11/lacz reporter gene replaced the deleted region in order to monitor the effect of this triple inactivation at the cellular level [1].
  • Hoxa11/Hoxd11 double mutants, however, demonstrate hypoplasia of the kidneys [2].
  • In mutant embryos, expression of both Hoxd-11 and Hoxd-10 mRNAs in the prevertebral column is anteriorized [3].
  • Hoxd-11 is expressed in the posterior part of the embryo, up to the level of prevertebra 27, and its expression boundary is reproduced by a Hoxd-11/lacZ transgene [3].
 

Biological context of Hoxd11

 

Anatomical context of Hoxd11

  • In this study, we show that malformation of the forelimb zeugopod in Hoxa11/Hoxd11 double mutants is a consequence of interruption at multiple steps during the formation of the radius and ulna [7].
  • In this mutant, ectopic expression of the Hoxd-11 gene, thought to be downstream of ZPA, was also observed at the anterior margin of the limb buds [8].
  • Using transgenic mice, we show that Hoxd-11 repression by region IX is necessary to position the sacrum properly [3].
  • Finally, Hoxd-11 alters head, thorax and abdomen [9].
  • The Hoxd-11 gene was disrupted by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells [10].
 

Associations of Hoxd11 with chemical compounds

  • This work suggests that the Integrin alpha8 gene may be a major effector of Hoxa 11/Hoxd 11 function in the developing kidney [6].
  • There was a good correlation between the effects of retinoic acid on Hoxd-11 and Hoxd-13 expression and delay of skeletal differentiation, suggesting that this may be a direct effect [11].
 

Regulatory relationships of Hoxd11

  • To further explore the functional relationship between these genes, as well as the potential rescue of one function by the other, we have introduced a Hoxd-11-expressing transgene into Hoxa-11/Hoxd-11 mutant genetic backgrounds [12].
