General description

LMX-1 is a transcription factor that belongs to the LIM-homeodomain (LIM-HD) transcription factor family. It is induced within the ventral midbrain as a response to early signaling. LMX-1 is a necessary component for the development of the roof plate and for CNS dorsal cell date specification and the development of vertebrae. It is Expressed in roof plate, an organizational locus found in the dorsal CNS that functions to moderate the differentiation and specification of adjacent neurons through the secretion of signaling molecules such as WNT and BMP. Recent studies have indicated that LMX-1 has high potential for stimulating the production of mesencephalic dopamine neurons(mesDA) for the therapeutic treatment Parkinson disease, a condition characterized by dopaminergic neurotransmission decline resulting from the progression of mesDA neuronal degeneration within the substantia nigra pars compacta (SN).

LIM-domain containing transcription factors (LIM-TFs) are conserved factors important for embryogenesis. The specificity of these factors in transcriptional regulation is conferred by the complexes that they form with other proteins such as LIM-domain-binding (Ldb) proteins and LIM-domain only (LMO) proteins.

Midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons modulate various motor and cognitive functions, and their dysfunction or degeneration has been implicated in several psychiatric diseases. Both Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) and Wnt signaling pathways have been shown to be essential for normal development of

FOXC1 loss contributes to Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM), a common human cerebellar malformation. Previously, we found that complete Foxc1 loss leads to aberrations in proliferation, neuronal differentiation and migration in the embryonic mouse cerebellum (Haldipur et al., 2014). We now demonstrate
