The regulation of Col2a1, which
encodes type II collagen, likely results from a balance of both
positive and negative proteins. Here we present evidence that the
transcription factor EF1 participates in the negative regulation of
Col2a1 transcription. A deletion analysis suggested that a
region between 100 and 307 of the rat Col2a1 gene was
required for activity in differentiating chick limb bud mesenchymal
cells; however, mutation of a conserved E2 box site in this region
actually increased promoter activity. Supershift analysis demonstrated
that EF1, a known transcriptional repressor, bound to the E2 box in
a sequence-dependent manner. Chick limb bud mesenchymal
cells, which do not express type II collagen, expressed abundant EF1
mRNA, but, following differentiation in micromass culture, EF1
mRNA expression was lost. Primary embryonic chick sternal
chondrocytes, which express abundant type II collagen, displayed
minimal levels of EF1 mRNA. The inhibition of Col2a1 transcription following treatment of chick sternal chondrocytes with
growth factors was accompanied by increased EF1 expression. Overexpression of EF1 in differentiated chondrocytes resulted in
decreased expression of a reporter construct containing a collagen II
promoter/enhancer insert; however, this negative regulation was not
dependent on the proximal E2 box. This is the first report of a
specific transcription factor involved in the negative regulation of
Col2a1.
