SOX2 epidermal overexpression promotes cutaneous wound healing via activation of EGFR/MEK/ERK signaling mediated by EGFR ligands
We perfomed RNA-seq and wound healing analysis to identify the mechanism how SOX2 promote wound healing. We showed that induction of SOX2 in skin keratinocytes accelerates cutaneous wound healing by promoting keratinocyte migration and proliferation, and enhancement of angiogenesis via the upregulation of EGFR ligands. Overall design: Whole skin mRNA profiles in the unwounded (Day0) or wounded (Day4) state from Vehicle or Tamoxifen treated mice were examined in triplicate or quadruplicate.
