These antibodies were detected a single exon, we replaced the coding sequence with EGFP by using appropriate secondary antibodies conjugated with cDNA in frame at the translational initiation site.

Both regions were Semiquantitative RT-PCR. Back skins were dissected from 12-week- subcloned into the pgk-neo-pgk-DT-A cassette to generate the old WT and Msx2-null mice. Tissues were treated with RNAlater targeting vector (Fig. S1). The resulting linearized vector (25 ␮g) for subsequent RNA extraction.

The amplification conditions were 5 min at 94°C, 22–40 cycles of 15 s floxed neomycin cassette was later removed by breeding with a at94°C,5sat60°C(63°C for Sox21), and 30 s (15 s for Sox21) CAG-Cre transgenic mouse (1). at 72 °C. The primer sequences are listed in Table S2.

For histology, tissues were fixed in 4% PFA before were killed and excised skin samples were fixed in 4% PFA and paraffin embedding. The sections were then stained with hema- embedded in paraffin. BrdU incorporation was monitored with toxylin and eosin.

The numbers of secondary antibodies and DAPI counterstaining, and observed BrdU-positive cells per microscopic field were counted in 10 by confocal microscopy (Zeiss LSM510).

Fig. S1. The targeting strategy used to knock out the Sox21 gene. The top schematic shows the genomic organization of the Sox21 gene, the second diagram shows the structure of the targeting vector, and the third is the predicted structure of the Sox21locus after homologous recombination. The exon of Sox21 was deleted and replaced with a floxed neo cassette (the arrowheads on the line represent loxP sites). A germ-line chimeric mouse was then generated from recombinant ES cells containing the targeted allele and crossed with a CAG-Cre mouse to remove the neo cassette and establish the Sox21 KO mouse line. Primers used for the genotyping are: Sox21-L3, 5Ј-CCACTCGCCTAAACCTGCACTCAAAG-3Ј; GFP-R2, 5Ј-ACGTCGCCGTCCAGCTCGACC-3Ј; GFP-pA-L2, 5Ј- GACAATAGCAGGCATGCTGGGG-3Ј; Sox21-LA-R3, 5Ј-CCA AGCCAGCGGACTCAGAGAC-3Ј

(A) Histogram indicating the numbers of Sox21-null mice that exhibited a complete hairless phenotype. Mice were monitored over a 70-day period after birth. (B) Histological changes identified upon stripping of 40-day-old WT mice and Sox21-null mice. Sections were prepared at 5, 10, and 15 days after stripping. (C) Long-term follow-up of cyclic alopecia observed in several mice of a different genetic background. The Sox21-null (ϩneo) generated by an intercross of F1 heterozygotes derived from an MCH female crossed with B6/CBA chimera (male) was analyzed for 319 days. (D) Photographs of independent Sox21-null (⌬neo) mice generated by an intercross of F1 heterozygotes derived from a CAG-Cre (MCH) female crossed with a B6/CBA chimera. Photographs were taken after 10, 14, 19, 27, 33, and 36 months. Neither the absence nor presence of the neo cassette nor the sex of the animal had an effect upon the phenotype. (E) Histological sections showing hair cycle-dependent epidermal phenotypes. Sections were prepared from different parts of back skins showing different hair cycle stages of Sox21ϩ/Ϫ and Sox21Ϫ/Ϫ individuals at 9 months old. Epidermal hyperplasia and enlarged sebaceous glands were observed in catagen stage in Sox21Ϫ/Ϫ mouse.

(A) Immunohistological detection of Sox21 in a P5 Sox21ϩ/ϩ epidermis using the layer-specific markers Filaggrin for the cornified layer, K10 for the suprabasal layer, and K14 for the basal layer. Staining for the cell cycle marker PCNA was also performed. (B) Detection of proliferating cells in Sox21ϩ/ϩ, Sox21ϩ/ Ϫ, and Sox21ϩ/ϩ skin samples at P10. Proliferating cells were detected by immunoreactivity against incorporated BrdU. BrdU-positive cells were quantified in the interfollicular epidermis (IFE) and infundibulum region, respectively. (C) Expression of Sox21 and Sox21-GFP during first hair cycle, P7 (anagen), P15 (catagen), and P19 (telogen). The magnified images in the infundibulum and a part of interfollicular epidermis are also shown. The increased cell proliferation was detected by anti-Ki67 antibody in the absence of Sox21.

Kiso et al. www.pnas.org/cgi/content/short/0808324106 4of9 Fig. S4. Defects in the hair cuticle of Sox21-null mouse. (A) Relationship between keratin protein expressions and interlocking structures. Keratin K32 and K82 are specifically localized in the layer of hair cuticle. Although the expression of these 2 proteins are not completely merged, the speckled structure of K82 is resembled to the interlocking structure revealed in the semithin section of the WT hair cuticle. The K82 expression is markedly reduced and the corresponding interlocking structure is lost in the Sox21-null hair cuticle. (B) Plucked hairs. (C) Histogram indicating the ratio of ‘‘detached’’ hair shafts as shown at left. Total numbers of hair follicles examined are indicated in the graph.

Kiso et al. www.pnas.org/cgi/content/short/0808324106 5of9 Fig. S5. Sox21 expression is unaltered in the Msx2-null epidermis. Semiquantitative RT-PCR analyses were conducted for the indicated using total RNAs prepared from the epidermis of E15.5, E17.5, and P0 WT mice (A), P0 WT, Sox21ϩ/Ϫ, and Sox21Ϫ/Ϫ mice (B), and 12-week-old adult WT and Msx2Ϫ/Ϫ mice (C). The number of PCR cycles for each gene is listed in parentheses. Gapdh was amplified as a control. (A) The expression of the cuticle keratin genes Krt32 and Krt82 commences at around P0 after the initiation of Sox21 and Msx2 expression. (B) The expression of cuticle keratin genes was found to be significantly down-regulated in both P0 and P5 Sox21-null back skins. The Msx2 gene, however, was unaffected at P0. (C) The expression levels of Sox21 and cuticle keratin genes were unchanged between WT and Msx2-null adult mice.
