    NCCIT cells were fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 10 minutes at 37°C, permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 at room temperature for 10 minutes and blocked for 30 minutes at room temperature with 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Then the cells were stained with anti-human SOX2 (clone 14A6A34) Alexa Fluor® 488 (green) overnight, followed by Phalloidin Alexa Fluor® 594 (red) for 20 minutes at 4°C. The nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). The image was captured with 40X objective.

Description

SOX2 is the most studied member of SRY-related box transcription factor family. It binds to target genes through its highly conserved HMG box domain. Inactivation of the SOX2 gene causes lethality during embryonic development. SOX2 knockdown in embryonic stem cells results in their differentiation. Co-expression of SOX with OCT4, MYC, and KLF4 is sufficient to reprogram somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which exert similar characteristics as natural pluripotent stem cells. These findings indicate that SOX2 is crucial for the self-renewal and pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. In addition, over-expression of SOX2 has been found in various types of malignant cancer. Knockdown of SOX2 results in cell cycle arrest by downregulating cyclin D1 and inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, suggesting that SOX2 is involved in activating genes associated with tumor progression.
