Immunohistochemical analysis of Pax2 expression in tissue sections of human benign nevi and malignant melanoma using ab79389 at 1/100 dilution.

All specimens were fixed in 4% formaline (pH 7.4), embedded in paraffin followed by cutting with a microtome (3 μm thickness). The slides were deparaffinized in xylol for 20 minutes and then rehydrated in descending series of ethanol (100%, 100%, 96%, 96%, 70%, and 70%). For antigen retrieval the slides were boiled in citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 40 min, and then allowed to cool down for 15 min. After washing with PBS buffer the endogenous peroxidase was blocked with H202 for 15 min at room temperature. After washing in PBS the slides were incubated with the antibody against PAX2 (dilution 1/100) for 60 min at room temperature and washed in PBS again.

The secondary antibody was incubated for 20 min at room temperature and after washing the slides in PBS the biotin streptavidine label was incubated for 20 min at room temperature. A detection kit including horseradish peroxidase and diaminobenzidine as chromogene was applied for 5 min. Counterstaining was performed with hematoxilin for 6 min.

(A) In normal sweat glands, Pax2 is expressed in gland epithelial cells (black arrows) while intermingled stromal cells only show very weak or absent nuclear Pax2 expression (green arrow) Bar represents 100 μm.

(B, C) Normal appearing epidermal cell layers adjacent to (B, bar represent 100 μm) nevi or (C, bar represent 200 μm) malignant melanoma show a differentially Pax2 expression with strongest Pax2 levels in germinal basal cell layers (black arrows) decreasing in higher differentiated keratinocytes and finally being absent in corneocytes (green arrows).

(D) Malignant melanoma cells - heterogeneous nuclear Pax2 expression. Strongest expression in large atypical nuclei with prominent nucleoli (black arrows).

(E, F) Pax2 expression in intradermal nevi was heterogeneous and did not correlate with histological features.

Supplementary information

The Pax2 protein also known as Paired Box 2 is a transcription factor with a mass of approximately 47 kDa. It plays an important role in controlling gene expression during embryonic development. Researchers have identified Pax2 expression in the developing central nervous system kidneys and eyes. Pax2 contains a paired domain which enables it to bind to specific DNA sequences and regulate the transcription of target genes by recruiting other proteins and co-factors to chromatin.
Biological function summary

This transcription factor acts as a mediator in developmental processes influencing both organogenesis and tissue differentiation. Pax2 forms part of a transcriptional complex with other Pax family members such as Pax5 and Pax8 which together ensure the proper development of organs like the kidneys and eyes. These interactions allow Pax2 to control cell proliferation differentiation and survival in developing tissues thereby facilitating normal organ formation.

Pathways

Pax2 functions within the Wnt/β-catenin and Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathways. These pathways are important for the regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis. Pax2 works closely with proteins such as Wnt1 and Gli1 to transduce signals that instruct the development of specific tissues. Pax2's involvement in these pathways demonstrates its critical role in responding to environmental cues that dictate developmental progression.

Pax2 disruption is associated with renal coloboma syndrome and optic nerve coloboma. Mutations in the Pax2 gene can lead to defective kidney development and neurological defects in eye formation due to impaired gene regulation. Pax2 interacts with proteins like WT1 in kidney development where imbalances may contribute to disease phenotypes. Understanding Pax2's connection to these disorders could help in developing targeted therapeutic strategies.
