Nerve-derived neural crest cells are essential for regeneration in certain animals, such as newts. Here, we asked whether they play a similar role during mammalian tissue repair, focusing on Sox2-positive neural crest precursors in skin. In adult skin, Sox2 was expressed in nerve-terminal-associated neural crest precursor cells (NCPCs) around the hair follicle bulge, and following injury was in...
The pons controls crucial sensorimotor and autonomic functions. In humans, it grows sixfold postnatally and is a site of paediatric gliomas; however, the mechanisms of pontine growth remain poorly understood. We show that the murine pons quadruples in volume postnatally; growth is fastest during postnatal days 0-4 (P0-P4), preceding most myelination. We identify three postnatal proliferative co...
Nanog is a pivotal transcription factor in embryonic stem (ES) cells and is essential for maintaining the pluripotency and self-renewal of ES cells. SUMOylation has been proved to regulate several stem cell markers' function, such as Oct4 and Sox2. Nanog is strictly regulated by Oct4/Sox2 heterodimer. However, the direct effects of SUMOylation on Nanog expression remain unclear. In this study, ...
Sex-determining region Y-box protein 2 (SOX2) is an embryo transcription factor located on chromosome 3q26.3-q27. It plays an important role in the maintenance of differentiation and self-renewal of pluripotent stem cells. Studies have shown that SOX2 is associated with multiple cancers and is overexpressed in many different phenotypes of breast cancer. To study the relationship between SOX2 an...
Specific targets of cellular immunity in human premalignancy are largely unknown. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) represents a precursor lesion to myeloma (MM). We show that antigenic targets of spontaneous immunity in MGUS differ from MM. MGUS patients frequently mount a humoral and cellular immune response against SOX2, a gene critical for self-renewal in embryonal s...
نظریه ی سلول های بنیادی سرطانی اولین بار در سال 1937 توسط furth و kahnپیشنهاد شد. بر اساس این نظریه، جمعیت کوچکی از سلول ها با خاصیت بنیادی در بافت های سرطانی وجود دارد که مسئول شروع ایجاد تومور هستند. هم چنین بر این اساس مفاهیم دیگری از سرطان مثل عود بیماری پس از درمان و متاستاز قابل توجیه است. در سال های اخیر دلایلی مبنی بر رد این نظریه مطرح شد. بنابراین استفاده از مارکر های معتبر برای شناسای...
Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by the loss of sensory hair cells and neurons of the inner ear. Once lost, these cell types are not replaced. Two genes expressed in the developing inner ear are c-Myc and Sox2. We created immortalized multipotent otic progenitor (iMOP) cells, a fate-restricted cell type, by transient expression of C-MYC in SOX2-expressing otic progenitor cells. This activat...
Title of Document: THE ROLE OF SOX2 IN INNER EAR DEVELOPMENT Lâle Evsen, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Professor Arthur N. Popper, Department of Biology The vertebrate inner ear is a structurally complex sensory organ responsible for detecting sound and maintaining balance. These functions are mediated by specialized sensory epithelia comprised of a mosaic of mechano-transducing hair cells and suppo...
It has been reported that functionally distinct cancer stem cells (CSCs) exist in human bladder cancer (BCa). Here, we found that Sox2, a transcription factor that is well characterized as a marker for stem cells, is upregulated in both mouse and human BCa. Sox2 expression is absent in normal urothelial cells, but it begins to be expressed in pre-neoplastic bladder tumors and continues to be ex...
G9a is a lysine methyltransferase (KMTase) for histone H3 lysine 9 that plays critical roles in a number of biological processes. Emerging evidence suggests that aberrant expression of G9a contributes to tumor metastasis and maintenance of a malignant phenotype in cancer by inducing epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes. Here, we show that G9a regulates Sox2 protein stability in breast...
