SOX7 belongs to the SOX (Sry-related high-mobility group [HMG] box) gene family, a group of transcription factors containing in common a HMG box domain. Its role in hematologic malignancies and, in particular, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is completely unknown. Here, we showed that SOX7 expression was regulated by DNA hypermethylation in AML but not in acute lymphoblastic leukemia or normal bone marrow cells. In cell lines (KG1, ML2, and K562) and in primary CD34(+) AML samples, SOX7 expression… 
SOX12: a novel potential target for acute myeloid leukaemia
TLDR
SOX12 may be involved in leukaemia progression by regulating the expression of β‐catenin and then interfering with TCF/Wnt pathway, which may be a target for AML.
Identification and validation of SRY-box containing gene family member SOX30 methylation as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in myeloid malignancies
TLDR
The findings revealed that SOX30 methylation was associated with disease progression in MDS and acted as an independent prognostic and predictive biomarker in AML.
SOX7 regulates MAPK/ERK-BIM mediated apoptosis in cancer cells
TLDR
It is shown that SOX7 was significantly downregulated in different cancer types, especially in lung and breast cancers, and Panobinostat, an FDA approved pan-HDAC inhibitor, could elevate and restore SoX7 expression in SOX6 silenced lung cancer cells.
SOX7 promotes the maintenance and proliferation of B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic cells.
TLDR
It is established that the down-regulation of SOX7 in BCP-ALL causes a significant decrease in proliferation and clonogenicity in vitro that correlates with a delay in leukemia initiation and burden in vivo.
Long noncoding RNA AB073614 promotes the malignance of glioma by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling through downregulating SOX7.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that AB073614 promoted the progression of glioma by targeting SOX7 to activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting that the inhibition of AB73614 might be a potential target for therapeutic intervention in gliomas patients.
SOX13 promotes colorectal cancer metastasis by transactivating SNAI2 and c-MET
TLDR
SoX13 is a promising prognostic biomarker in patients with CRC, and blocking the HGF/STAT3/SOX13/c-MET axis with crizotinib could be a new therapeutic strategy to prevent SOX13-mediated CRC metastasis.

TLDR
SOX7 gene might be one of cancer-associated genes on human chromosome 8p22, and SOX7 mRNA was relatively highly expressed in adult lung, trachea, lymph node, placenta, fetal lung, and heart, but was significantly down-regulated in 7 out of 18 cases of primary colorectal tumors.
SOX7: from a developmental regulator to an emerging tumor suppressor.
TLDR
Recent studies demonstrate a tumor suppressive role of SOX7 in a xenograft mouse model, and unravel that many genes regulating cell death, growth and apoptosis are affected by SoX7, strongly supporting a pivotal role of SoX8 in tumorigenesis.
Methylation of the CpG island near SOX7 gene promoter is correlated with the poor prognosis of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome.
TLDR
Patients with the methylation of the CpG island of the SOX7 gene can be used as a predictive factor for the development and prognosis of MDS patients, according to prognostic analysis and methylation-specific PCR.
SOX7, down-regulated in colorectal cancer, induces apoptosis and inhibits proliferation of colorectal cancer cells.
Sox7 Is an Independent Checkpoint for β-Catenin Function in Prostate and Colon Epithelial Cells
TLDR
It is discovered that Sox7 protein physically interacts with β-catenin and suppresses β- catenin–mediated transcription by depleting active β-Catenin, and suggests that Sox 7 is a tumor suppressor that functions as an independent checkpoint for β-catsenin transcriptional activity.
Characterization of Tumor-Suppressive Function of SOX6 in Human Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
TLDR
It is provided the first evidence that SOX6 is a novel tumor-suppressor gene in ESCC development and is a potential prognostic marker inESCC.
The Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway Is Required for the Development of Leukemia Stem Cells in AML
TLDR
It is shown that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is required for self-renewal of LSCs that are derived from either hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) or more differentiated granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (GMP).
Sox17 and Sox4 Differentially Regulate β-Catenin/T-Cell Factor Activity and Proliferation of Colon Carcinoma Cells
TLDR
Results indicate that Sox proteins can act as both antagonists and agonists of β-catenin/TCF activity, and this mechanism may regulate Wnt signaling responses in many developmental and disease contexts.
Down-regulation of Sox7 is associated with aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in endometrial cancer
TLDR
Sox7 is a negative regulator of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway through impeding the transcriptional machinery of β- catenin/TCF/LEF-1 transcriptional complex, and the loss of expression may be involved in the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer.
