Main Target Genes | |||||
Name | Species | Effect | Technique | Comments | References |
Gfap | Mouse | Repressed | Transient transfection, EMSA, Other | TLX can silence glia-specific expression of the astrocyte marker GFAP in neural stem cells, suggesting that transcriptional repression may be crucial in maintaining the undifferentiated state of these cells. | 11 |
PAX2 | Human | Repressed | Transient transfection, EMSA, Other | The identification of Pax 2 as a TLX regulated gene is significant, because Pax2 is known to be involved in retinal development in both the human and the mouse eye. This repression by TLX is also observed in rodents and all other mammals | 15 |
RARB | Human | Activated | Transient transfection, EMSA, Other | TLX interacts with the SET element present in the RAR β2 promoter and allows RA-dependent activation of this promoter by relieving the silencing effect of the SET element. This is also seen in other species including rodents. | 4 |

Tissue Distribution Comments | ||||||||
In mouse, the expression starts at day 7.5 in the head ectoderm, it is specifically localised in the developing telencephalon and in dorsal midbrain; It harbour also a dynamic expression pattern in two structures whose development requires inductive signals from the forebrain : the eye and the nose. This expression in the central nervous system persist until birth. Recently, NR2E1 was shown to be strongly expressed in the proangiogenic astrocytes, which secrete VEGF and fibronectin. NR2E1 expression by retinal astrocytes is controlled by oxygen concentration and rapidly downregulated upon contact with blood vessels. |
