Enhancer Arrays Regulating Developmental Genes: Sox2 Enhancers as a Paradigm
EnhancersEnhancers are the primary regulatory DNA sequences in eukaryotes and are mostly located in the non-coding sequencesnon-coding sequences of... -
Mammalian esophageal stratified tissue homeostasis is maintained distinctively by the epithelial pluripotent p63+Sox2+ and p63āSox2+ cell populations
Self-renewing, damageārepair and differentiation of mammalian stratified squamous epithelia are subject to tissue homeostasis, but the regulation...

SOX2 promotes vasculogenic mimicry by accelerating glycolysis via the lncRNA AC005392.2-GLUT1 axis in colorectal cancer
Vasculogenic mimicry (VM), a new model of angiogenesis, fulfills the metabolic demands of solid tumors and contributes to tumor aggressiveness. Our...

SOX2 and OCT4 mediate radiation and drug resistance in pancreatic tumor organoids
Pancreatic cancer has a five-year survival rate of only 10%, mostly due to late diagnosis and limited treatment options. In patients with...

Knocking down SOX2 overcomes the resistance of prostate cancer to castration via notch signaling
BackgroundCastration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is a terminal type of advanced cancer resistant to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Due to...

Deubiquitinase PSMD7 facilitates pancreatic cancer progression through activating Nocth1 pathway via modifying SOX2 degradation
BackgroundUbiquitination is a critical post-translational modification which can be reversed with an enzyme family known as deubiquitinating enzymes...

Targeting the SOX2/CDP protein complex with a peptide suppresses the malignant progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Emerging evidence indicates that SOX2 is an oncogene for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, direct targeting of SOX2 is not feasible...

Distinct roles for SOX2 and SOX21 in differentiation, distribution and maturation of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells
Pulmonary neuroendocrine (NE) cells represent a small population in the airway epithelium, but despite this, hyperplasia of NE cells is associated...

Hypoxia increases RCC stem cell phenotype via altering the androgen receptor (AR)-lncTCFL5-2-YBX1-SOX2 signaling axis
BackgroundEarly studies indicated that the androgen receptor (AR) could promote renal cell carcinoma (RCC) development and metastasis, but its...

Sox2 levels regulate the chromatin occupancy of WNT mediators in epiblast progenitors responsible for vertebrate body formation
WNT signalling has multiple roles. It maintains pluripotency of embryonic stem cells, assigns posterior identity in the epiblast and induces...

The rates of adult neurogenesis and oligodendrogenesis are linked to cell cycle regulation through p27-dependent gene repression of SOX2
Cell differentiation involves profound changes in global gene expression that often has to occur in coordination with cell cycle exit. Because...
