http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/28642734http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"The short-stature homeobox-containing gene (SHOX) was originally discovered as one of genes responsible for idiopathic short-stature syndromes in humans. Previous studies in animal models have shown the evolutionarily conserved link between this gene and skeletal formation in early embryogenesis. Here, we characterized developmental roles of shox/SHOX in zebrafish embryos and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) using loss-of-function approaches. Morpholino oligo-mediated knockdown of zebrafish shox markedly hindered cell proliferation in the anterior region of the pharyngula embryos, which was accompanied by reduction in the dlx2 expression at mesenchymal core sites for future pharyngeal bones. In addition, the impaired shox expression transiently increased expression levels of skeletal differentiation genes in early larval stage. In cell culture studies, we found that hMSCs expressed SHOX; the siRNA-mediated blockade of SHOX expression significantly blunted cell proliferation in undifferentiated hMSCs but the loss of SHOX expression did augment the expressions of subsets of early osteogenic genes during early osteoblast differentiation. These data suggest that shox/SHOX maintains the population of embryonic bone progenitor cells by keeping its proliferative status and by repressing the onset of early osteogenic gene expression. The current study for the first time shows cellular and developmental responses caused by shox/SHOX deficiency in zebrafish embryos and hMSCs, and it expands our understanding of the role of this gene in early stages of skeletal growth."xsd:string
