PG - 1026-1033 AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibits osteogenic differentiation of murine bone marrow stromal cells, and transcription factor Runx2 serves as an essential regulation target in the process. The underlying mechanism may involve the regulation of Runx2 expression and the Runx2 activity in downstream gene transcription, which has not been fully elucidated. In this study, ST2 murine bone marrow-derived stromal cells were treated with bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and/or TNF-alpha in osteogenic medium, and the expression of Runx2 was estimated. Cells were transfected with Runx2, p65, inhibitor of kappaBalpha (IkappaBalpha), 9.0 kb bone sialoprotein (BSP) promoter-luciferase or osteoblast-specific cis-acting element 2 (OSE2)-luciferase reporter vectors, and then real time-PCR and dual luciferase analysis were used to investigate the effect of TNF-alpha on Runx2-activated osteogenic gene transcription and the molecular mechanism. We found that TNF-alpha inhibited BMP-2-induced osteogenic marker expression and both the spontaneous and BMP-2-induced Runx2 expression. TNF-alpha stimulation or overexpression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) p65 subunit repressed the Runx2-activated BSP and osteocalcin (OC) transcriptions. The Runx2-induced 9.0 kb BSP promoter activity was attenuated by TNF-alpha or p65, while the OSE2 activity was not affected. Besides, blockage of NF-kappaB by IkappaBalpha overexpression eliminated these inhibitory effects of TNF-alpha on Runx2 signaling. These results suggest that in murine bone marrow stromal cells undergoing osteogenic differentiation, TNF-alpha and it activated NF-kappaB pathway inhibit the expression of Runx2 gene, and suppress the Runx2-mediated osteogenic gene transcription via the 9.0 kb BSP promoter.
