Paired box gene 9, also known as PAX9, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PAX9 gene.[1][2] It is also found in other mammals.[3]

Expression and function

This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. During mouse embryogenesis Pax9 expression starts from embryonic day 8.5 and becomes more evident by E9.5; at this stage its expression is restricted to the pharyngeal endoderm.[4][5] Later on, Pax9 is also expressed in the axial skeleton.[4] Pax9 is required for craniofacial, tooth and limb development,[3][4] and may more generally involve development of stratified squamous epithelia as well as various organs and skeletal elements.[1] PAX9 plays a role in the absence of wisdom teeth in some human populations (possibly along with the less well studied AXIN2 and MSX1).[3]

Clinical significance

This gene was found amplified in lung cancer. The amplification covers three tissue developmental genes - TTF1, NKX2-8, and PAX9.[6] It appears that certain lung cancer cells select for DNA copy number amplification and increased RNA/protein expression of these three coamplified genes for functional advantages.

Oligodontia

Oligodontia is a genetic disorder caused by the mutation of the PAX 9 gene. This disorder results in the congenital absence of 6 or more permanent teeth, with the exception of the third molar.[7] Also known as selective tooth agenesis (STHAG), it is the most common disorder in regard to human dentition, affecting a little less than one fourth of the population.[7] The gene PAX 9 which can be found on chromosome 14 encodes a group of transcription factors that play an important role in early tooth development.[8] In humans, a frameshift mutation in the paired domain of PAX 9 was discovered in those affected with oligodontia.[9] Multiple mechanisms are possible by which the mutation may arise. Recently, a study involving the missense mutation of a PAX 9 gene suggests that the loss of function due to the absence DNA binding domain is a mechanism that causes oligodontia.[10] Those who express the PAX 9 mutation and develop the disorder continue to have a normal life expectancy. Along with the mutation of the PAX 9 gene, MSX1 gene mutations have also shown to affect dental development in fetuses.[10]

Interactions

PAX9 has been shown to interact with JARID1B.[11]
