From: Sox2 acts as a transcriptional repressor in neural stem cells
A Grg binding mutant of Sox2 fails to inhibit NSC differentiation. (A) Validation of the repression of NNMT, SOX8, SERPINE1, HELLS, IGFBP2, IGFBP3 and GFAP expression using qPCR. P-values shown for 5 PCR replicates *p = <0.05; **p = <0.01. (B) Graph showing the percentage of NSCs extending MAP2 positive processes after 5 days in differentiation medium. This was inhibited by WY Sox2 but not by the Sox2 M203–209 mutant. (C) representative examples of cells after transfection; white lines indicate length of cellular extensions. (D) Model for mechanism of Sox2 action during NSC development.
