چکیده
A small molecule called Sm4 can disrupt interactions involving a transcription factor called Sox18, while having little impact on other members of the SoxF family.

Interleukin-6 upregulates SOX18 expression in osteosarcoma
Aim SOX18 is a potential oncogene in osteosarcoma via controlling osteosarcoma cell proliferation and metastasis. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a major activator of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling, plays an important role in the growth of carcinoma cells. The present study aims to investigate the correlation between IL-6 and SOX18 in osteosar...
متن کاملKnockdown of SOX18 inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies in the world. Recent studies have demonstrated that SOX18 is highly expressed in various types of cancer. In the present study, we found that SOX18 mRNA was overexpressed in HCC compared with non-tumorous tissues. We aimed to explore the effects of SOX18 siRNA on the proliferation, invasion and migration of two HCC cell lines...
متن کاملExpression of SOX18 in Mycosis Fungoides.
SOX18 is a transcription factor involved in the development of hair follicle, blood and lymphatic vessels, as well as regenerative processes. In addition, accumulated data indicate the role of SOX18 in tumourigenesis. So far, no studies on the role of SOX18 expression in mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, have been performed. Therefore, we evaluated SOX18...
متن کاملThe Transcription Factor SOX18 Regulates the Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase 7 and Guidance Molecules in Human Endothelial Cells
BACKGROUND Mutations in the transcription factor SOX18 are responsible for specific cardiovascular defects in humans and mice. In order to gain insight into the molecular basis of its action, we identified target genes of SOX18 and analyzed one, MMP7, in detail. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS SOX18 was expressed in HUVEC using a recombinant adenoviral vector and the altered gene expression pr...
متن کاملRedundant roles of Sox17 and Sox18 in postnatal angiogenesis in mice.
Sox7, Sox17 and Sox18 constitute group F of the Sox family of HMG box transcription factor genes. Dominant-negative mutations in Sox18 underlie the cardiovascular defects observed in ragged mutant mice. By contrast, Sox18(-/-) mice are viable and fertile, and display no appreciable anomaly in their vasculature, suggesting functional compensation by the two other SoxF genes. Here, we provide dir...
