text: We have assembled a network of cell-fate determining transcription factors
that play a key role in the specification of the ventral neuronal subtypes of
the spinal cord on the basis of published transcriptional interactions. Asynchronous
Boolean modelling of the network was used to compare simulation results with reported
experimental observations. Such comparison highlighted the need to include additional
regulatory connections in order to obtain the fixed point attractors of the model
associated with the five known progenitor cell types located in the ventral spinal
cord. The revised gene regulatory network reproduced previously observed cell
state switches between progenitor cells observed in knock-out animal models or
in experiments where the transcription factors were overexpressed. Furthermore
the network predicted the inhibition of Irx3 by Nkx2.2 and this prediction was
tested experimentally. Our results provide evidence for the existence of an as
yet undescribed inhibitory connection which could potentially have significance
beyond the ventral spinal cord. The work presented in this paper demonstrates
the strength of Boolean modelling for identifying gene regulatory networks.
