  Fig. 4. Sox2 blocks neuronal differentiation downstream of the proneural genes. (A,B) Overexpression of Sox2 in retinal progenitors by mRNA injection at the 8-cell stage does not decrease the expression of the proneural gene Xath5 on the injected side (B), as compared with the control side (A), in stage 34 embryos. (C-L) Retinal expression of the proneural targets Brn3d (C,D), Ebf3 (E,F), ElrC (G,H) and Sbt1 (I, J) is lost, as compared with the control (uninjected) side of the embryos. Sox2-injected embryos also lose retinal expression of Hermes (K,L), a marker of differentiated ganglion cells. Brackets indicate the retina.
