High impact information on Lhx1

 

Biological context of Lhx1

 

Anatomical context of Lhx1

  • Lhx1 and Lhx5 are co-expressed in multiple interneuron cell types in the developing spinal cord [10].
  • The loss of Pax6 altered progenitor specification, and the Lhx1 neuronal marker was lost, indicating a role for Pax6 in the specification of forebrain neuron identity [11].
  • Conversely, strong divergences in expression patterns are observed between the telencephalon of the two species for Lhx1/5 and Lhx2/9 [12].
  • The Lhx1/5 and Lhx2/9 subgroups label the pretectum/ventral thalamus/zona limitans versus the dorsal thalamus, respectively, in alternating stripes of expression in both species [12].
  • In these double-mutant embryos, the intermediate mesoderm does not undergo the mesenchymal-epithelial transitions required for nephric duct formation, fails to initiate the kidney-specific expression of Lim1 and c-Ret, and is lost by apoptosis 1 d after failed pronephric induction [13].
 

Associations of Lhx1 with chemical compounds

  • In the absence of FGF8 signaling, nephron formation is initiated, but the nascent nephrons do not express Wnt4 or Lim1, and nephrogenesis does not progress to the S-shaped body stage [14].
  • The expression pattern of mr-gef during early telencephalic neurogenesis is strikingly similar to that of GABA and the LIM homeobox gene Lhx6, a transcription factor expressed by GABAergic interneurons generated in the ventral telencephalon, some of which migrate into the cortex during development [15].
 

Physical interactions of Lhx1

  • These results suggest that Ssdp1 regulates the development of late head organizer tissues and body growth by functioning as an essential activator component of a Lim1 complex through interaction with Ldb1 [16].
 

Co-localisations of Lhx1

  • The expression of one novel cDNA SII6 initially colocalizes with Lim1 in the anterior mesendoderm of gastrula stage embryos [17].
 

Other interactions of Lhx1

  • Defects of the body plan of mutant embryos lacking Lim1, Otx2 or Hnf3beta activity [18].
  • It is characterised by the expression of anterior markers such as Hex, Cerberus-like and Lhx1 [19].
  • In mouse, the cerberus-related gene, Cerr1, is expressed in the anterior mesendoderm that underlies the presumptive anterior neural plate and its expression is downregulated in Lim1 headless embryos [20].
  • We examined the expression and possible functions of Lhx8, a member of the LIM-homeobox gene family, during tooth morphogenesis of the mouse [21].
  • Specifically, Ptf1a is required for the generation of early-born (dI4, E10.5) and late-born (dIL(A), E12.5) dorsal interneuron populations identified by homeodomain factors Lhx1/5 and Pax2 [22].
