WS type 4 WS4 a subtype of WS is characterized by the presence of the aganglionic megacolon and is associated with mutations in the gene encoding either endothelin 3 endothelin receptor type B EDNRB or Sry-box 10 SOX10 . Here we provide evidence that SOX10 regulates the expression of EDNRB gene in human melanocyte-lineage cells as judged by RNA interference and chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses. Human melanocytes preferentially express the EDNRB transcripts derived from the conventional EDNRB promoter. SOX10 transactivates the EDNRB promoter through the cis-acting elements the two CA-rich sequences and the GC box. Moreover a transcription factor Sp1 enhances the degree of the SOX10-mediated transactivation of the EDNRB promoter through these cis-acting elements. Furthermore we have shown that the EDNRB promoter is heavily methylated in HeLa human cervical cancer cells lacking EDNRB expression but not in melanocytes and HMV-II melanoma cells. The expression of EDNRB became detectable in HeLa cells after treatment with a demethylating reagent 5 -aza-2 .
