Article Abstract
We report the expression of zebrafish lmo4 during the first 48 h of development. Like its murine ortholog, lmo4 is expressed in somitic mesoderm, branchial arches, otic vesicles, and limb (pectoral fin) buds. In addition, however, we report zebrafish lmo4 expression in the developing eye, cardiovascular tissue, and the neural plate and telencephalon. We demonstrate that expression in the rostral hindbrain requires acerebellar (ace/fgf8) and spiel ohne grenzen (spg/pou2) activity.

Background: In vertebrates, the development of the inner ear is a delicate process, whereas its relating molecular pathways are still poorly understood. , an LIM domain-only transcriptional regulator, is drawing an increasing amount of interest for its multiple roles regarding human embryonic development and the modulation of ototoxic side effects of cisplatin including cochlear apoptosis and hearing loss. The aim of the present study is to further explore the role of in zebrafish inner ear development and thus explore its functional role.

Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a type of heart condition that occurs in otherwise healthy hearts, and this study aimed to identify genetic variants associated with it using a genome-wide association approach in the Chinese Han population.
- The researchers analyzed data from a large group of individuals to find significant genetic loci linked to idiopathic VT and confirmed their findings through functional tests in zebrafish and heart cell models.
- The study successfully identified four genetic loci and two risk genes that contribute to the occurrence of idiopathic VT, paving the way for better understanding and potential treatments for this condition.
Cisplatin-induced hair cell loss in zebrafish neuromasts is accompanied by protein nitration and Lmo4 degradation.

Generation of reactive oxygen species, a critical factor in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, leads to the formation of peroxynitrite, which in turn results in the nitration of susceptible proteins. Previous studies indicated that LMO4, a transcriptional regulator, is the most abundantly nitrated cochlear protein after cisplatin treatment and that LMO4 nitration facilitates ototoxicity in rodents. However, the role of this mechanism in regulating cisplatin-induced hair cell loss in non-mammalian models is unknown.

The left and right distribution of a set of twenty-six genes in the zebrafish pallium was examined by RT-qPCR experiments. The analysis comprised four general pallial markers (eomesa, emx2, emx3 and prox1); eight genes, dapper1, htr3a, htr3b, htr4, id2, ndr2, pkcβ and lmo4, that have been described as asymmetric distributed in the brain of mammals (human and mouse); six genes, arrb2, auts2, baiap2, fez1, gap43 and robo1, asymmetrically distributed in the mammalian cortex, that have been associated with autism in humans; and, eight genes, baz1b, fzd9, limk1, tubgcp5, cyfip1, grik1a, nipa1 and nipa2, which have been associated with developmental dyscalculia, a brain disability linked to brain laterality in humans. We found a leftward bias in the expression of 10 genes (dapper1, htr3a, htr3b, htr4, id2, ndr2, pkcß, auts2, baiap2 and grik1a) and a rightward bias for 5 genes (lmo4, arrb2, fez1, gap43, robo1) in agreement with the data reported in mammals.

Background: LMO4 is a transcription cofactor expressed during retinal development and in amacrine neurons at birth. A previous study in zebrafish reported that morpholino RNA ablation of one of two related genes, LMO4b, increases the size of eyes in embryos. However, the significance of LMO4 in mammalian eye development and function remained unknown since LMO4 null mice die prior to birth.
