One difficulty with interpreting such qualitative evidence, including Hox gene orthology, is that almost any pattern can be found in nature if one looks.
By extending the collection of candidate genes, or screening on microarrays, it may thus be possible to identify specific targets for Hox transcription factors in chondrocytes.
We found a similar phenotype upon overexpression of Hoxd-4 in our transgenic system (Kappen, manuscript in preparation), whereas overexpression of the LIM-homeodomain transcription factor Isl-1 did not cause abnormalities in cartilage but other developmental defects [ 1 9 ] . The observation that cartilage is affected by misregulation of Hoxc-8 and Hoxd-4, but not by a divergent homeobox gene, indicates that the capacity to regulate cartilage differentiation is specific to homeobox genes of the Hox subclass.
This has important implications for the identification of the transcriptional targets of Hox transcription factors.
In summary, the gene expression profiles of primary chondrocytes from Hoxc-8 transgenic animals display notable differences in the expression of regulators of chondrocyte maturation in a pattern largely consistent with delayed chondrocyte maturation in vivo . These results now allow us to investigate whether any of these molecules is directly regulated by Hox transcription factors in chondrocytes.
