Research Abstract |
Bone Sialoprotein(BSP) is a tissue-specific marker of cementblast cells which has shown to be transformed from Hertwig's epithlial cells.To elucidate the mechanisms of gene transcription,3 putative osteoblast specific element 2 consensus motif(OSE2-1~OSE2-3) were investigated the ability of Runx2 to interact with cognate cis-acting elements. Forced expression of Runx2 induced 14 fold enhancement of transcription activity observed with the 6 x tandem repeats of OSE2-2 and 3 fold enhancement with that of OSE2-3, whereas 60% significant reduction was observed with that of OSE2-1. Chromatin immunorecipitation analyses revealed Runx2 were significantly higher recruited to OSE2-2 than to other OSE2s in vivo. BMP-2 increased Runx2 binding to these OSE2s and its transcription, whereas obvious reduction of OSE2-2 transcription induced by TGF-beta 1. These data suggested that the coordinated regulation of chromatin on respective OSE2s with Runx2 were modulated by TGF-beta/BMP signals.
