prx-1 functions cooperatively with another paired-related homeobox gene, prx-2, to maintain cell fates within the craniofacial mesenchyme.
The paired-related homeobox gene, prx-1, is expressed in the postmigratory cranial mesenchyme of all facial prominences and is required for the formation of proximal first arch derivatives. We introduced lacZ into the prx-1 locus to study the developmental fate of cells destined to express prx-1 in the prx-1 mutant background. lacZ was normally expressed in prx-1(neo); prx-1(lacZ )mutant cranio...
متن کاملPaired related homeobox protein 1 is a regulator of stemness in adult neural stem/progenitor cells.
Newborn neurons are generated from neural stem cells (NSCs) in two major niches of the adult brain. Maintenance of self-renewal and multipotency of adult NSCs is controlled by multiple transcription factor networks. We show here that paired related homeobox protein Prx1 (MHox1/Prrx1) plays an important role in the maintenance of adult NSCs. Prx1 works with the transcription factor Sox2 as a coa...
متن کاملPaired-related homeobox gene Prx1 is required for pulmonary vascular development.
Herein, we show that the paired-related homeobox gene, Prx1, is required for lung vascularization. Initial studies revealed that Prx1 localizes to differentiating endothelial cells (ECs) within the fetal lung mesenchyme, and later within ECs forming vascular networks. To begin to determine whether Prx1 promotes EC differentiation, fetal lung mesodermal cells were transfected with full-length Pr...
متن کاملNKX 2 - 2 ( NK 2 homeobox 2 )
273 amino acids; 30133 Da. NKX2-2 is a member of the NK2 family of homeobox transcription factors. It has known roles in the development of the CNS as well as pancreatic beta cell differentiation. In the CNS NKX2-2 is known to be activated by SHH signaling which is important for its initial role in ventral patterning. NKX2-2 expression has additionally been shown to be critical for the differen...
متن کاملGlucagon-like peptide-2 increases sucrase-isomaltase but not caudal-related homeobox protein-2 gene expression.
To determine the effect of glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) on sucrase-isomaltase and caudal-related homeobox protein-2 (Cdx-2) gene expression, male Wistar rats were divided into total parenteral nutrition (TPN)-fed and GLP-2-treated, TPN-fed groups. TPN was given via a jugular line, inserted under anesthesia, for 7 days. The treatment group received 40 microg/day of GLP-2 intravenously with th...
