The roles of SOX transcription factors in glioma stem cells. SOX transcription factors exert numerous functions in glioma stem cells (GSCs). They influence GSC self-renewal, stemness, tumorigenicity, sphere-forming capacity, proliferation rate, viability, migration and invasion capacities, and apoptosis. Some of the members of the SOX gene family are involved in the resistance of GSCs to therapy. Blue arrows represent stimulation, and orange bars represent inhibition.
