摘要
目的探究启动子结合蛋白(C/EBPa)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(BT-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1(PPARγ)的mRNA和蛋白质的表达;通过构建干扰PPARlsiRNA的腺病毒载体及PPARγ拮抗剂G3335,观察PPARγ对于激活C/EBPa表达的作用。色质免疫沉淀分析(ChIP)检测PPARγ2位于C/EBPa启动子-1286bp/-1065bp区域内的结合位点并检测PPARγ与C/EBPa启动子-1286bp/-1065bp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/EBPa在C3H10T1/2细胞成骨分化时的上调(对照组6.1mg/L,罗格列酮组13.0mg/L,罗格列酮+G3335组11.0mg/L,P〈0.05)。DNA甲基化能减弱PPARγ2向-1286bp/-1065bp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/EBPa启动子-1286bp/-1065bp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-1286bp/-1065bp区段的组蛋白乙酰化,C/EBPa启动子促进C3H10T1/2细胞成骨过程。
Objective To explore the molecular mechanisms of C/EBPa for regulating the osteogenesis of C3H10T1/2 cells. Methods We 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. Results During 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 resuhs show that DNA methylation could weaken the binding section PPARγ2 to - 1 286 bp/- 1 065 bp capabilities. Conclusion This study provides a deeper insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the osteogenesis of MSCs regulated by C/EBPα in synergy with PPARγ. PPARγ contributes to C/EBPα expression 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 acetylationstatus of - 1 286 bp/- 1 065 bp region. Meanwhile DNA methylation and histone acetylation are linked by PPARγ for regulating the differentiation of MSCs.
