目的探究启动子结合蛋白(C/EBPα)对于间充质干细胞(MSC)C3H10T1/2细胞成骨调节的分子机制。
方法体外构建成骨分化模型,应用反向聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和免疫印迹检测C3H10T1/2细胞成骨分化时过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(PPARγ)的mRNA和蛋白质的表达;通过构建干扰PPARγ siRNA的腺病毒载体及PPARγ拮抗剂G3335,观察PPARγ对于激活C/EBPα表达的作用。色质免疫沉淀分析(ChIP)检测PPARγ2位于C/EBPα启动子-1 286 bp/-1 065 bp区域内的结合位点并检测PPARγ与C/EBPα启动子-1 286 bp/-1 065 bp区段DNA甲基化和组蛋白高度去乙酰化的关系。
结果C3H10T1/2细胞在成骨分化时,PPARγ的mRNA和蛋白质的表达呈先升高后下降的双时相反应。siRNA和G3335引起的PPARγ活性的下调抑制了C/EBPα在C3H10T1/2细胞成骨分化时的上调(对照组6.1 mg/L,罗格列酮组13.0 mg/L,罗格列酮+G3335组11.0 mg/L, P<0.05)。DNA甲基化能减弱PPARγ2向-1 286 bp/-1 065 bp区段的结合能力。
结论C3H10T1/2细胞在成骨分化时,PPARγ通过结合至C/EBPα启动子-1 286 bp/-1 065 bp区段来促进该基因的表达,阻抑了PPARγ与之结合,与PPARγ相关的蛋白去乙酰化酶抑制得以解除,从而下调了-1 286 bp/-1 065 bp区段的组蛋白乙酰化,C/EBPα启动子促进C3H10T1/2细胞成骨过程。
ObjectiveTo explore the molecular mechanisms of C/EBPα for regulating the osteogenesis of C3H10T1/2 cells.
MethodsWe constructed an in vitro osteogenic differentiation model and investigated the mRNA and protein expression profile of PPARγ2 during C3H10T1/2 osteogenesis by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and Western blot. Next we constructed an adenovirus vector loading siRNA against PPARγ2 and employed a specific antagonist of PPARγ, G3335, to examine the effect of PPARγ on activating the expression of C/EBPα. Then we performed ChIP to test PPARγ2 binding on -1 286 bp/-1 065 bp region of C/EBPα promoter and explore the role of PPARγ in the dependence of histone hypoacetylation on DNA methylation in -1 286 bp/-1 065 bp region of C/EBPα promoter.
ResultsDuring the osteogenic differentiation, PPARγ mRNA and protein expression initially increased and then decreased in double-phase reactions. siRNA and G3335 induced down-regulation of PPARγ activity inhibited C/EBPα in C3H10T1/2 cells up-regulation of osteogenic differentiation. ChIP results show that DNA methylation could weaken the binding section PPARγ2 to -1 286 bp/-1 065 bp capabilities.
ConclusionThis study provides a deeper insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the osteogenesis of MSCs regulated by C/EBPα in synergy with PPARγ. PPARγcontributes to C/EBPαexpression through binding on -1 286 bp/-1 065 bp region of its promoter during the osteogenesis of C3H10T1/2 cells. And DNA hypermethylation in-1 286 bp/-1 065 bp region during the terminal stage of osteogenesis prevents PPARγ from binding on it so that PPARγ-associated repression of HDAC1 is relieved to down-regulate the acetylation status of -1 286 bp/-1 065 bp region. Meanwhile DNA methylation and histone acetylation are linked by PPARγ for regulating the differentiation of MSCs.
