Transcription factor SOX-10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOX10 gene.[5][6][7][8]

Function

This gene encodes a member of the

transcriptional activator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. This protein acts as a nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein and is important for neural crest and peripheral nervous system development.[8]

In melanocytic cells, there is evidence that SOX10 gene expression may be regulated by MITF.[9]

Mutations

Mutations in this gene are associated with

Waardenburg–Shah syndrome[8] and uveal melanoma.[10]

Immunostain

SOX10 is used as an immunohistochemistry marker, being positive in:[11]

  • Melanoma, although desmoplastic melanomas may be only focally positive.
  • Nevus
  • SOX10 immunohistochemistry in a dermal nevus, showing positively staining nevus cells (arrows)

  • SOX10 immunohistochemistry of normal skin (top) and atypical melanocytic proliferation (bottom), seen mainly in hair follicles.

  • SOX10 immunohistochemistry facilitates showing lentigo maligna, as an increased number of melanocytes along stratum basale and nuclear pleumorphism. The changes are continuous with the resection margin (inked in yellow, at left), conferring a diagnosis of a not radically removed lentigo maligna.

Interactions

The

MITF, which influences the development of melanocytes as well as neural crest formation. MITF expression can be transactivated by both SOX10 and PAX3 to have an additive effect.[12][13] The two genes have binding sites near one another on the upstream enhancer of the c-RET gene.[14] SOX10 is also thought to target dopachrome tautomerase through a synergistic interaction with MITF, which then results in other melanocyte alteration.[15]

SOX10 can influence the generation of

The interaction between SOX10 and NMI seems to be coexpressed in

gliomas, and the spinal cord and has been shown to modulate the transcriptional activity of SOX10.[19]
