Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling
regulates body axis determination, apoptosis, and differentiation of
various types of cells including neuron, gut, and bone cells. However,
the molecules involved in such BMP regulation of biological events have
not been fully understood. Here, we examined the involvement of
Cas-interacting zinc finger protein (CIZ) in the modulation of
BMP2-induced osteoblastic cell differentiation. CIZ overexpression in
osteoblastic MC3T3E1 cells suppressed BMP2-enhanced expression of
alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and type I collagen genes. Upstream
analyses revealed that CIZ overexpression also suppressed BMP2-induced
enhancement of the mRNA expression of Cbfa1, which is a critical
transcription factor for osteoblastic differentiation. BMP-induced
Smad1 and Smad5 activation of GCCG-mediated transcription was
blocked in the presence of CIZ overexpression. CIZ overexpression alone
in the absence of BMP2 moderately enhanced basal levels of Cbfa1 mRNA expression. CIZ overexpression also enhanced 1.8-kb Cbfa1 promoter activity in the absence of BMP2, whereas it suppressed the
promoter activity in the presence of BMP2. Finally, CIZ overexpression suppressed the formation of mineralized nodules in osteoblastic cell
cultures. These data indicate that CIZ is a novel type inhibitor of
BMP/Smad signaling.
