“…[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] The principal differentially expressed genes upregulated in neurothekeomas and cellular fibrous histiocytomas over nerve sheath myxomas and schwannomas consisted of those encoding various metalloproteinases and glycoproteins. These genes are involved in extracellular matrix growth and remodeling, and cell adhesion in fibroblasts and macrophages (Table 6).…”

“…The SMP + sorted cells from E10.5 quail nerves also express the myelin protein P0 characteristic of Schwann cells (Bhattacharyya et al, 1991). In addition, they express the transcription factor Sox10 (Cheng et al, 2000) and the HNK1 epitope (Tucker et al, 1984). These markers are present in vivo in early NCCs and later in PNS cells, including Schwann cells, but are lost by mesenchymal and melanocytic NC derivatives.…”

“…In order to further characterise the Schwann cell-myofibroblast phenotype transition, we have verified the expression, by differentiating αSMA + cells, of additional markers, expressed by both NCCs and differentiated Schwann cells, that is, the transcription factor gene Sox10 (Cheng et al, 2000) and the HNK1 surface carbohydrate epitope (Abo andBalch, 1981, Tucker et al, 1984). Moreover, we examined Slug expression in the cultures.…”

“…Sox10 expression has been reported in the cranial nerves, ventricular zone of the brain, spinal cord, and pineal gland (Cheng et al, 2000). However, brain tissue does not penetrate well for ␤Gal staining, and future analysis of frozen sections will be required to confirm the presence of Sox10␤GeoBAC expression in these structures.…”

Sox10 is an essential transcription factor required for development of neural crest-derived melanocytes, peripheral glia, and enteric ganglia. Multiple transcriptional targets regulated by Sox10 have been identified; however, little is known regarding regulation of Sox10. High sequence conservation surrounding 5 exons 1 through 3 suggests these regions might contain functional regulatory elements. However, we observed that these Sox10 genomic sequences do not confer appropriate cell-specific transcription in vitro when linked to a heterologous reporter. To identify elements required for expression of Sox10 in vivo, we modified bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) to generate a Sox10␤GeoBAC transgene. Our approach leaves endogenous Sox10 loci unaltered, circumventing haploinsufficiency issues that arise from gene targeting. Sox10␤GeoBAC expression closely approximates Sox10 expression in vivo, resulting in expression in anterior dorsal neural tube at embryonic day (E) 8.5 and in cranial ganglia, otic vesicle, and developing dorsal root ganglia at E10.5. Characterization of Sox10␤GeoBAC expression confirms the presence of essential regulatory regions and additionally identifies previously unreported expression in thyroid parafollicular cells, thymus, salivary, adrenal, and lacrimal glands. Fortuitous deletions in independent Sox10␤GeoBAC lines result in loss of transgene expression in peripheral nervous system lineages and coincide with evolutionarily conserved regions. Our analysis indicates that Sox10 expression requires the presence of distant cis-acting regulatory elements. The Sox10␤GeoBAC transgene offers one avenue for specifically testing the role of individual conserved regions in regulation of Sox10 and makes possible analysis of Sox10؉ derivatives in the context of normal neural crest development.
