Arrayed human fetal brain cDNA library has been screened by PCR and routine hybridization method. A 2398 bp-cD-NA clone has been obtained. The cDNA encodes a 347 amino acids protein highly homologous to the mouse Ldb1, Xenopus Xldb1 and Drosophila Chip. It also contains an LIM binding domain and a nuclear localization signal. It has been named LDB1 (LIM domain binding protein 1), GenBank accession number is AF052389. Northern blot showed a 2.4 kb band, and the expression amounts of LDB1 in heart, brain and lung were considerably higher than those in other tissues.展开更多

Our previous study has demonstrated that CRP2 can be detected in the embryonic rat inner ear but not in the adult rat inner ear. However, at present, the expression of LIM protein family H members in stem or precursor cells has not been described. OBJECTIVE： To determine the expression and sub-cellular localization of CRP2 in olfactory stem cells. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： An experiment with repeated measures was performed in the Laboratory of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Xijing Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University from February 2008 to April 2008. MATERIALS： Olfactory stem cells, and rabbit-anti-CRP2 polyclonal antibody were prepared and kept in our laboratory. METHODS： Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis were used to detect expression of CRP2 in olfactory stem cells. Immunocytochemistry was also used to localize CRP2 in olfactory stem cells. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： The expression and sub-cellular localization of CRP2 in rat olfactory stem cells. RESULTS： CRP2 expression was found in olfactory stem cells, and CRP2 was distributed in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. CONCLUSION： Confirmation of the expression and distribution of CRP2 in olfactory stem cells.展开更多
