Biological context of Lmo2

 

Anatomical context of Lmo2

  • The T cell leukemia LIM protein Lmo2 is necessary for adult mouse hematopoiesis [1].
  • These results show that Lmo2 is not needed for de novo capillary formation from mesoderm but is necessary for angiogenic remodeling of the existing capillary network into mature vasculature [7].
  • Moreover, Lmo2-null ES cells do not contribute to endothelial cells of large vessel walls of surviving chimeric mice after embryonic day 10 [7].
  • Lmo2 is expressed in vascular endothelium, and Lmo2-null ES cells contributed to the capillary network normally until around embryonic day 9 [7].
  • To further understand the mechanisms involved in the generation of definitive hemopoietic stem cells, we analysed the expression of the hemopoietic-related transcription factors Lmo2 and GATA-3 during the early steps of mouse development (7-12 dpc), with a particular emphasis on intraembryonic hemogenic sites [11].
 

Other interactions of Lmo2

  • These findings show that Lmo1, Lmo2, and Lmo3 continue to be expressed in the adult mammalian CNS in a cell type-specific manner, are differentially regulated by neuronal activity, and may thus be involved in cell phenotype-specific regulatory functions [12].
  • This disruption of hematopoiesis probably occurs because interaction of Lmo2 protein with factors such as Tal1/Scl is precluded [1].
  • Tumour development was compared in Lmo2 transgenic mice in the presence or absence of the Rag1 gene [13].
  • However, after this time, marked disorganization of the vascular system was observed in those chimeric mice that have a high contribution of Lmo2-null ES cells [7].
