Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human glioma labelling SOX2 with ab92494 at a concentration of 0.1µg/ml.

The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with an OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was conducted for 32min with DISCOVERY cell conditioning solution (CC1) 100°C, pH8.5. ab92494 anti-SOX2 was incubated at 37°C for 16min.

Sections were counterstained is with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.

Transient Wnt and FGF signalling induce dual fated mouse neuromesodermal progenitors.

Immunostaining of cells treated with FGF/Wnt revealed the coexpression of Brachyury with Sox2 (NMPs). In the absence of Wnt, NPCs express Sox2 but the expression of Brachyury is only evident in a very small proportion of cells.

SOX2 is a crucial transcription factor in neuro research, particularly for its role in maintaining neural stem cell pluripotency and regulating neural development. It is essential for the proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells, influencing brain development and repair. Researchers use SOX2 to study neural stem cell behaviour, neurogenesis and the mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders, making it vital for understanding brain development and potential regenerative therapies Additionally, SOX2 plays a significant role in gliomas, particularly glioblastoma (GBM), the most aggressive form of brain cancer. Elevated SOX2 levels are associated with poor prognosis and tumor progression in glioblastoma patients. Targeting SOX2 expression and function is being explored as a potential therapeutic strategy to combat gliomas and improve patient outcomes.

Target data

Transcription factor that forms a trimeric complex with OCT4 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206 (By similarity). Binds to the proximal enhancer region of NANOG (By similarity). Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency (PubMed : 18035408). Downstream SRRT target that mediates the promotion of neural stem cell self-renewal (By similarity). Keeps neural cells undifferentiated by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation (By similarity). May function as a switch in neuronal development (By similarity).
