Research Abstract

Sensory tissues, e.g. olfactory epithelium, inner ear and lens, develop from cephalic ectoderm through progressive specification steps. The transcription factor gene Sox2 is consistently expressed in the sensory primordia regardless of developmental stages, owing to the sequential activation of stage-/placode-specific enhancers. The NOP1 enhancer is specifically active in the nasal and otic placodes. An essential activating element of NOP1 enhancer was shown to be regulated by the synergistic action of Sox2 and Sall4, as well as Sox9 and Sall4 (but not Sox11 and Sall4). Inhibition of Sox activity in the posterior cephalic ectoderm inactivated the NOP1 enhancer. These data indicate that Sox-Sall4 synergism is essential for Sox2regulation in the nasal and otic placodes.
