Abstract
Hox genes are pivotal in the control of morphogenesis along the anterior-posterior (AP) axis in various bilaterians. Several indications suggest their involvement in the control of cell growth and regeneration. For the labial full-length fragment, RACE-PCR was employed to obtain the 3' and 5' franking regions. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that the labial expression began to increase at 12 hours after amputation. The peak expression was approximately 1.5-fold more than the unamputated controls. This result could give us information on the significance of Hox genes and the relationships between Hox genes during regeneration.
