Abstract excerpt
L3/Lhx8 is a member of the LIM-homeobox gene family. Previously, we demonstrated that L3/Lhx8-null mice specifically lacked cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain. In the present study, we conditionally suppressed L3/Lhx8 function during retinoic acid-induced neural differentiation of a murine embryonic stem (ES) cell line using an L3/Lhx8-targeted small interfering RNA (siRNA) produced by an H1.2...
