We previously described an
osteocalcin (OC) fibroblast growth factor (FGF)
response element (FRE) DNA binding activity as a target of Msx2
transcriptional regulation. We now identify Ku70, Ku80, and Tbdn100, a
variant of Tubedown-1, as constituents of the purified OCFRE-binding
complex. Northern and Western blot analyses demonstrate expression of
Ku and Tbdn100 in MC3T3E1 osteoblasts. FGF2 treatment
regulates Ku, but not Tbdn100, protein accumulation. Gel supershift
studies confirm sequence-specific DNA binding of Ku in the OCFRE
complex; chromatin immunoprecipitation assays confirm association of Ku
and Tbdn100 with the endogenous OC promoter. In the
promoter region 154 to 113, the OCFRE is juxtaposed to OSE2, an
osteoblast-specific element that binds Runx2 (Osf2, Cbfa1). Expression of the Ku·Tbdn100 complex up-regulates both the
basal and Runx2-dependent transcription driven by this
42-bp OC promoter element, reconstituted in CV-1 cells.
Synergistic transactivation occurs in the presence of activated FGF
receptor 2 signaling. Msx2 suppresses Ku- and
Runx2-dependent transcription; suppression is dependent
upon the Msx2 homeodomain NH2-terminal arm and extension. Pull-down assays confirm physical interactions between Ku and these
co-regulatory transcription factors, consistent with the functional
interactions identified. Finally, cultured Ku70 / calvarial cells
exhibit a profound, selective deficiency in OC expression
as compared with wild-type calvarial cells, confirming the biochemical
data showing a role for Ku in OC transcription. In
toto, these data indicate that a novel Ku antigen complex
assembles on the OC promoter, functioning in concert with
Msx2 and Runx2 to regulate OC gene expression.
