Abstract OBJECTIVE:Type X collagen and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX-2) are known to be important for chondrocyte hypertrophy during skeletal growth and repair and development of osteoarthritis (OA) in mice. Aiming at clinical application, this study was undertaken to investigate transcriptional regulation of human type X collagen by RUNX-2 in human cells.
METHODS:Localization of type X collagen and RUNX-2 was determined by immunohistochemistry, and their functional interaction was examined in cultured mouse chondrogenic ATDC-5 cells. Promoter activity of the human type X collagen gene (COL10A1) was examined in human HeLa, HuH7, and OUMS27 cells transfected with a luciferase gene containing a 4.5-kb promoter and fragments. Binding to RUNX-2 was examined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation.
RESULTS:RUNX-2 and type X collagen were co-localized in mouse limb cartilage and bone fracture callus. Gain and loss of function of RUNX-2 revealed that RUNX-2 is essential for type X collagen expression and terminal differentiation of chondrocytes. Human COL10A1 promoter activity was enhanced by RUNX-2 alone and more potently by RUNX-2 in combination with the coactivator core-binding factor beta in all 3 human cell lines examined. Deletion, mutagenesis, and tandem repeat analyses identified the core responsive element as the region between -89 and -60 bp (termed the hypertrophy box [HY box]), which showed specific binding to RUNX-2. Other putative RUNX-2 binding motifs in the human COL10A1 promoter did not respond to RUNX-2 in human cells.
CONCLUSION:Our findings indicate that the HY box is the core element responsive to RUNX-2 in human COL10A1 promoter. Studies on molecular networks related to RUNX-2 and the HY box will lead to treatments of skeletal growth retardation, bone fracture, and OA.
