SRY盒-2（SRY：性別決定區，Sex Determining Region Y），又稱「Sox2」（人的Sox2應寫爲SOX2），是一種對未分化的胚胎幹細胞（ESC）、神經幹細胞等再生能力以及多能性維持至關重要轉錄因子^[6]。對Sox2的研究對幹細胞生物學、再生醫學的發展有重要意義^[7]。

Sox2隸屬於SOX 轉錄因子家族。Sox轉錄因子家族在哺乳動物的發育過程中扮演重要角色。該家族的蛋白質都有一個保守的DNA結合結構域，長約80個胺基酸殘基，稱爲高遷移率組（High-mobility group，HMG）盒結構域^[6]。

功能

幹性維持

白血病抑制因子（LIF）能通過活化Sox2調控的下游，諸如JAK-STAT信號通路，繼而活化Klf4（Kruppel樣因子家族下的一種蛋白質）的表達，以維持胚胎幹細胞的幹性。Oct4、Sox2以及Nanog能增強所有LIF調控的通路相關的蛋白質的表達^[8]。

Npm1（英語：Npm1）是一種與細胞增殖相關的轉錄調節蛋白，在胚胎幹細胞中能與Sox2、Oct4、Nanog形成蛋白複合物^[9]。Sox2、Oct4、Nanog三個轉錄因子共同組成了一個與多能性維持相關的轉錄調控網絡。Sox2能與Oct4一同與DNA非迴文序列結合，以活化與多能性維持的關鍵因子轉錄^[10]。令人驚訝的是，對Oct4-Sox2強化子的調控即使沒有Sox2也可以發生，可能是因爲其他Sox家族的蛋白質的表達。不過，已有研究人員確認Sox2在胚胎幹細胞幹性維持中的主要作用是控制Oct4的表達。另外，Oct4、Sox2一旦表達，就會自我維持持續表達的狀態^[11]。

向體細胞中轉入Sox2加上Oct4、c-Myc、Klf4四個因子的基因就可以誘導iPSC的產生^[12]。

一些Sox2、Oct4的結合位點的高甲基化以及miR134對Sox2的轉錄後抑制調控男性生殖細胞多能性丟失^[13]^[14]。

Sox2不同的表達水平決定了胚胎幹細胞的分化命運。Sox2能抑制胚胎幹細胞分化爲中胚層、內胚層的細胞，並能促進其分化爲外胚層的神經細胞^[15]。在細胞分化爲外胚層系細胞的過程中，Npm1/Sox2複合物能持續表達，說明Sox2在外胚層分化過程中發揮的重要作用^[9]。

通過對基因剔除鼠的研究，已證明Sox2表達的缺失會使神經畸形，對胚胎是致死的。進一步說明Sox2對胚胎發育的重要性^[16]。

神經幹細胞

神經發生過程中，Sox2在神經管細胞以及中樞神經系統祖細胞增殖過程中會表達。然而，在祖細胞退出細胞週期，進入G0期的過程中，Sox2的表達會下調^[17]。細胞表達Sox2能促進細胞增殖，也能促進細胞分化爲神經細胞，而細胞增殖和分化的能力正是幹細胞的兩個最顯著的特徵。表達Sox2的（Sox2+）神經幹細胞能進行細胞分裂，產生與其相同的Sox2+神經幹細胞，同時還能產生神經細胞前體細胞^[18]。

使用成體神經幹細胞（其Sox2以及c-Myc的表達水平高於胚胎幹細胞），只需要轉入兩種因子（其中一個必須是Oct4）就足以產生誘導多能性幹細胞，減少了轉入多個因子時可能產生的風險以及副作用^[19]。

眼畸形

人SOX2基因突變與雙眼眼球炎，一種嚴重的結構性眼畸形有關^[20]。

癌症

在肺發育過程中，Sox2控制支氣管分支的形態發生以及空氣通道上皮的分化^[21]。在通常情況下，Sox2對氣管上皮的基底細胞的自我更新以及比例維持至關重要。然而，Sox2的過表達會造成上皮增生，並最終在發育中以及成體小鼠體內誘發肺部癌變^[22]。

鱗狀細胞癌中，常常可以檢出3q26.3區基因的擴增。Sox2基因即位於該區域，說明Sox2是一種原癌基因。Sox2能誘發鱗狀細胞癌，活化許多與腫瘤發生相關的基因表現。Sox2的過表達與Lkb1的不表達能促進小鼠肺部鱗狀上皮細胞的癌變^[23]。Sox2的過表達也可以活化細胞的遷移以及錨定非依賴性生長^[24]。

Sox2表達與高格里森分級（英語：gleason grade）的前列腺癌有關，能促進去勢抵抗性前列腺癌的生長^[25]。

SOX2的異位表達與結直腸癌中的細胞異常分化有關^[26]。另外，Sox2與乳腺癌對他莫昔芬的抗性有關^[27]。

甲狀腺激素的調控

Sox2啓動子的上游（即強化子區域）有三個甲狀腺激素應答元件（TRE），甲狀腺激素（T3）能通過這些區域下調Sox2的表達。在神經幹細胞的增殖遷移過程中，TRα1（一種甲狀腺激素的受體）的表達會上調。此現象提示甲狀腺激素能通過甲狀腺激素信號通路對Sox2進行轉錄抑制，促進神經幹細胞從腦室下區遷出並分化。人胚胎發育過程中甲狀腺激素的缺失，尤其是胚胎發育的頭三個月中的缺失，會造成中樞神經系統發育的異常。因此，可以得出結論，在胚胎發育中，甲狀腺激素水平低會造成神經性缺陷，諸如以發育不良爲特徵的呆小症^[28]。

相互作用

Sox2能與Pax6（英語：Pax6）、NPM1、Oct4之間發生相互作用^[29]^[8]^[10]。已證明Sox2能與Oct3/4協同調控Rex1（英語：Rex1）的表達^[30]。
