The T-box gene family consists of transcription factors characterized by a related DNA-binding domain (T-box) of approximately 200aas (1, 2). The T-box genes exhibit diverse temporal and spatial patterns in the developing embryo. Studies have demonstrated members of this family play crucial roles during embryogenesis in a wide range of organisms by regulating cell fate decisions to establish the early body plan and to regulate later processes underlying organogenesis (3-5). Mutations in T-box genes are associated with many developmental defects (6). Recent studies also indicate potential roles in cancer by members of T-box family (7-9).
TBX21, also as known as T-bet, plays a critical role in development and maintenance of type 1 helper T (Th1) and TBX21 deficient mice display impaired Th1 differentiation (10, 11).
