Molecular cause of the differential activity of Sox8 and Sox10 in oligodendroglial cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Oligodendroglial cells are responsible for the generation of myelin sheaths in the central nervous system and thereby render rapid saltatory conduction possible. During development, oligodendroglial cells express the three paralogous transcription factors Sox8, Sox9 and Sox10. In mature oligodendrocytes Sox8 and Sox10 expression persists. Whereas Sox9 and Sox10 fulfill important regulatory roles in these cells, Sox8 has only a limited impact on oligodendroglial development and myelination. By replacing Sox10 with Sox8 or Sox9 in the oligodendroglial Oln93 cell line and by comparing expression profiles, we show that Sox8 regulates the same processes as Sox10 and Sox9, but has a substantially lower transcriptional activity under standard culture conditions.
