A male-specific role for SOX9 in vertebrate sex determination
Abstract
Mutation analyses of patients with campomelic dysplasia, a bone dysmorphology and XY sex reversal syndrome, indicate that the SRY-related gene SOX9 is involved in both skeletal development and sex determination. To clarify the role SOX9 plays in vertebrate sex determination, we have investigated its expression during gonad development in mouse and chicken embryos. In the mouse, high levels of Sox9 mRNA were found in male (XY) but not female (XX) genital ridges, and were localised to the sex cords of the developing testis. Purified fetal germ cells lacked Sox9 expression, indicating that Sox9 expression is specific to the Sertoli cell lineage. Sex specificity of SOX9 protein expression was confirmed using a polyclonal antiserum. The timing and cell-type specificity of Sox9 expression suggests that Sox9 may be directly regulated by SRY. Male-specific expression of cSOX9 mRNA during the sex determination period was also observed in chicken genital ridges. The conservation of sexually dimorphic expression in two vertebrate classes which have significant differences in their sex determination mechanisms, points to a fundamental role for SOX9 in testis determination in vertebrates. Sox9 expression was maintained in the mouse testis during fetal and adult life, but no expression was seen at any stage by in situ hybridisation in the developing ovary. Male-specific expression was also observed in the cells surrounding the Müllerian ducts and in the epididymis, and expression in both sexes was detected in the developing collecting ducts of the metanephric kidney. These results suggest that SOX9 may have a wider role in the development of the genitourinary system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
