Functional control of the transcription factor
Runx2 is crucial for normal bone formation. Runx2 is detectable
throughout osteoblast development and maturation and temporally
regulates several bone-specific genes. In this study, we identified a
novel post-translational mechanism regulating
Runx2-dependent activation of the osteocalcin promoter. A
functional binding site for the high mobility group protein lymphoid
enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) was found adjacent to the proximal
Runx2-binding site in the osteocalcin promoter. In transcription
assays, LEF1 repressed Runx2-induced activation of the mouse
osteocalcin 2 promoter in several osteoblast lineage cell lines.
Mutations in the LEF1-binding site increased the basal activity of the
osteocalcin promoter; however, the LEF1 recognition site in the
osteocalcin promoter was surprisingly not required for LEF1 repression.
A novel interaction between the DNA-binding domains of Runx2 and LEF1
was identified and found crucial for LEF1-mediated repression of Runx2.
LEF1 is a nuclear effector of the Wnt/LRP5/ -catenin signaling
pathway, which is also essential for osteoblast proliferation and
normal skeletal development. A constitutively active -catenin
enhanced LEF1-dependent repression of Runx2. These data
identify a novel mechanism of regulating Runx2 activity in osteoblasts
and link Runx2 transcriptional activity to -catenin signaling.
