Pełny tekst źródłaEl Osteosarcoma (OS) es el tumor sólido maligno más frecuente en la infancia y la adolescencia, corresponde al 20% de todos los tumores óseos y al 5% de los cánceres pediátricos. Los tratamientos actuales logran tasas de sobrevida a 5 años de 75% en pacientes sin metástasis, mientras que el 80% de los pacientes con enfermedad metastásica recaen a pesar del tratamiento efectuado. Runx2 es un factor de transcripción maestro que regula el proceso de diferenciación osteogénica, aunque este factor también promueve progresión tumoral en células de cáncer de próstata y de mama. Recientemente, se demostró la amplificación del gen Runx2 en pacientes con OS, así como la expresión aumentada de la proteína Runx2 en líneas celulares de OS. En esta tesis se propuso la hipótesis que el factor de transcripción Runx2 promueve migración e invasión en líneas celulares de osteosarcoma. Así, el objetivo general del proyecto fue definir el rol de Runx2 en los procesos de progresión tumoral en osteosarcoma. Para estudiar el rol de Runx2 sobre parámetros de progresión tumoral en líneas celulares de osteosarcoma, se moduló la expresión de Runx2 y se estudió su efecto en migración e invasividad. Nuestros resultados muestran que la sobreexpresión de Runx2 mediante adenovirus produjo un aumento en la capacidad de migración e invasión de líneas celulares de OS con bajos niveles de Runx2. El silenciamiento de Runx2 mediante siRNA disminuyó la capacidad de migración e invasión en líneas celulares de OS. De esta forma, hemos demostrado por primera vez que Runx2 promueve progresión tumoral en líneas celulares de OS.
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant solid tumor in childhood and adolescence and represents 20% of all bone tumors and 5% of childhood cancers. Survival rates after five years are at 75% in patients without metastases, while 80% of patients with metastatic disease relapse despite the treatment. Runx2 is a master transcription factor that regulates the osteogenic differentiation process. However, this factor also functions as tumor promoter in prostate cancer cells and breast cancer. Runx2 gene amplification in patients with OS, as well as increased expression of Runx2 protein in OS cell line have recently been demonstrated. To this project, we hypothesized that the transcription factor Runx2 promotes migration and invasion in OS cell lines. Thus, the general aim was to define the role of Runx2 in osteosarcoma tumor progression processes. To study the role of Runx2 on parameters involved in tumor progression of OS cell lines, we modulated the expression of Runx2 and studied the outcome of this modifications on cell migration and invasiveness. Our results demonstrated that overexpression of Runx2 by adenovirus in OS cell lines with low levels of Runx2 increased cell migration and invasion. Runx2 silencing by siRNA in OS cell lines decreased their ability to migrate and invade. Thus, we have demonstrated for the first time that Runx2 promotes tumor progression in OS cell lines.

Pełny tekst źródłaPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a pulmonary vascular disease that drives the narrowing of distal pulmonary arteries. Pulmonary artery narrowing leads to an increase in the pulmonary arterial pressure above 25 mmHg. In order to compensate this increased pressure, the right ventricle undergoes a pathological adaptation. Shortly, the right ventricle becomes unable to compensate this increase leading to right heart failure and patient’s death. So far, PAH treatment has allowed significant improvement for patient’s life quality but none of them can cure the disease. Distal pulmonary artery narrowing is due, at least in part, to the acquisition of a proliferative phenotype of the smooth muscle cell (SMC). Previously, the laboratory has demonstrated the down-regulation of the micro-RNA 204 in the SMC and its major role in the acquisition of this proliferative phenotype. Interestingly, the same down-regulation is observed in systemic vascular disease where it leads to the acquisition of a calcifying phenotype of the SMC by allowing the expression of the osteogenic transcription factor RUNX2. During my thesis, I investigated the role of RUNX2 up-regulation in pulmonary artery SMC allowed by the down-regulation of the micro-RNA 204. This project uncovered a critical role for RUNX2 in PAH, not only by participating to the acquisition of SMC proliferative phenotype but also by allowing the acquisition of a calcifying phenotype of the SMC. Furthermore, targeting RUNX2 in a Sugen/hypoxia rat model of PAH reverse histologic and heomodynamic PAH phenotype, making RUNX2 an attractive therapeutic target.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe objective of this study was to evaluate the periradicular tissue response after intentional furcation and sealing with Biodentine (BD), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or gutta percha. Pre-molars of 3 dogs were used, in a total of 30 teeth, distributed in 3 groups: experimental BD (n = 14), negative control (MTA) (n = 10) and positive control (gutta percha), for a period of 120 days. The area corresponding to furcation was analyzed radiographically. In the qualitative histopathological analysis, the presence or not of mineralized tissue at the furcation site and adjacent areas was evaluated. In the semi-quantitative histopathological analysis, scores were assigned to the parameters: presence or absence of mineralized tissue, intensity of the inflammatory process and reabsorption of mineralized tissues. In the quantitative histopathological analysis the thickness of mineralized tissue in the furcation area was measured. Immunohistochemical assays were performed for the mineralization markers: RANKL and osteoprotegerin (OPG). Indirect immunofluorescence assay evaluated RUNX-2 expression for the synthesis of mineralization proteins. Data were evaluated by chi-square test, Fisher exact test and Mann Whitney test using the Graph Pad Prism 6.0 statistical software. The groups were compared by the Kruskal Wallis test with Dunn\'s post-test. The level of significance adopted for all analyzes was 5%. In the radiographic analysis the (BD) presented better performance in relation to the MTA, in all aspects analyzed. Histologically, both MTA and BD induced the formation of mineralized tissue when compared to gutta percha, which did not induce the formation of mineralized tissue (p <.001). The complete sealing of furcation holes was more frequent with the MTA, which induced the deposition of mineralized tissue with a larger and thickness area. Both the BD and MTA sealed samples did not show bone resorption in the furcation area, showed few inflammatory cells and a greater intensity of the RUNX2 immunomarker when compared to the gutta percha. OPG was present in samples sealed with BD and with MTA. Although the MTA presented higher frequency of complete sealing and greater area and thickness of newly formed mineralized tissue, BD also presented good histopathological results and can be considered as a suitable furcation perforation sealing material.

Pełny tekst źródłaPhyllostomidae bats, a family endemic to the Neotropics, show remarkable diversification in craniofacial forms that are associated with feed specializations. However, the genetic and developmental bases responsible for the generation and maintenance of such morphological adaptation are largely unknown, not only on this evolutionary lineage, but for vertebrates in general. Among the several genes associated with craniofacial morphology so far, RUNX2 is a putative candidate to underlie diversification of forms found in phyllostomids. Tandem repeats in the rate of Glutamine by Alanine amino acids (Q/A ratio), related to cranial morphology, have been demonstrated in carnivores. However, such pattern was not clear when other mammalian lineages were analyzed as a whole. In this context, the present study examines, for the first time, the role of rate Q/A on craniofacial variation in a specific lineage of mammals (phyllostomids) with marked feed specializations (e.g. carnivorous, frugivorous, insectivorous, nectarivorous, omnivorous, hematophagous). The correlation between genotypes and phenotypic traits were made with different statistical methods (e.g. Pearson correlation and Bayesian inference), including the latent variable of diet as well. Such analysis were controlled for the non-independence phylogenetic effect using phylogenetic comparative methods. Significant correlations were observed between different Q/A rates and cranial measurements, which describes changes in the integrative morphology of the skull, especially the length and width of the upper jaw. In addition, a positive correlation between the increase in Q/A rate and frugivorous/omnivorous diet habits was observed, also suggesting the interaction between feed specializations, length and width of the upper jaw, especially for fruit-eating and omnivores animals.

Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) is a matricellular protein that has been shown to mediate cell adhesion, and as a consequence, it regulates cell proliferation, migration, differentiation and gene transcription. Although previous in vivo and in vitro studies supported the anabolic role of CTGF in skeletogenesis, to date mechanisms of this effect remain unknown. So far, no specific receptor has been identified for CTGF, although previous studies have shown that integrins can serve as functional signaling receptors for CTGF. The CTGF-integrin interaction initiates intracellular signaling cascades that ultimately regulate cell cytoskeleton reorganization, gene transcription and cell function. To study the effect of CTGF on osteoblasts, we first conducted adhesion assays using the MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cell line. We confirmed that osteoblasts adhere to rCTGF in a concentration-dependent manner and we showed this adhesion has characteristics of integrin mediated adhesions. Next, we used an array of blocking antibodies directed against the individual alpha and beta; integrin subunits that are known to be expressed in osteoblasts. Significant decreases in cell adhesion were observed upon treatment with anti-alpha-v or anti-beta1 blocking antibodies. Subsequent coimmunoprecipitation analyses demonstrated that CTGF interacts with alpha-v and beta1 integrins in osteoblasts. Furthermore, we showed that the specificity of this CTGF-integrin interaction occurs in the C-terminal domain (fourth module) of CTGF. The immunefluorescence staining of cells cultured on substrates of rCTGF, fibronectin (positive control) or BSA (negative control) demonstrated that osteoblast adhesion to rCTGF results in actin cytoskeleton reorganization, focal adhesion formation, enhanced cell spreading and Rac activation. These series of events are necessary for proper cell-matrix interaction and integrins' downstream signaling initiation. Next, through alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and activity assays, as well as Alizarin red staining, we demonstrated that osteoblast attachment to CTGF matrix enhances cell maturation, bone nodule formation and matrix mineralization. To investigate whether the effect of CTGF on osteoblast differentiation involves activation of specific signaling molecules, we performed Western blot and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays. Osteoblasts cultured on rCTGF expressed higher levels of both total and phosphorylated forms of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) compared to the cells cultured on BSA. In addition, these osteoblasts showed an increase in runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) binding to the osteocalcin gene promoter compared to the negative control. These experiments confirmed CTGF's effect on enhancing osteoblast differentiation through regulation of important signaling molecules. In another series of experiments, we used primary osteoblasts isolated from CTGF KO mice, their WT littermates, or WT cells infected to overexpress (OE) CTGF to study the effect of different levels of endogenous CTGF on osteoblast cytoskeleton reorganization and motility. Our assays showed enhanced cell adhesion, spreading and Rac expression in CTGF OE osteoblasts, while in CTGF KO osteoblasts, cell adhesion, spreading and Rac expression were significantly decreased. In contrast, CTGF OE osteoblasts that showed high adhesion and spreading, exhibited diminished cell motility and low levels of RhoA expression, while KO cells migrated quickly and expressed high levels of RhoA. Together, these experiments establish CTGF as an adhesion protein for osteoblasts; they demonstrate that the alpha-v beta1 integrin is a functional signaling receptor for CTGF; they confirm that osteoblast differentiation is enhanced when cultured on CTGF matrix through activation of regulatory signaling molecules; and finally, these experiments establish a role for CTGF in the regulation of small RhoGTPases expression, which in turn implies a significant role for CTGF in cell cytoskeleton reorganization and motility.

Pełny tekst źródłaAnualmente se producen cerca de 9 millones de fracturas por fragilidad ósea en el mundo. El hueso es el segundo tejido con mayor demanda de trasplantes en el sistema de salud, en donde se emplean injertos autógenos y alógenos. Ante este escenario, el desarrollo de injertos óseos biocompatibles utilizando células troncales adultas para la optimización de la regeneración ósea es una solución con enorme potencial biomédico. En este trabajo se propuso aumentar el potencial osteoblástico de células madre mesenquimáticas derivadas de la gelatina de Wharton (WJ-MSC), a través de la pérdida de función de JARID1B, represor epigenético del gen maestro RUNX2. En investigaciones antecedentes al seminario de titulo, se demostró que el silenciamiento de JARID1B en células C2C12 es capaz de incrementar la expresión de RUNX2-P57. Además, se logró establecer que el estado epigenético de los promotores de RUNX2 y SP7, en cuya regulación participa JARID1B como demetilasa de histonas, posee un rol fundamental en la mantención del limitado potencial osteoblástico de WJ-MSC. En este seminario de título se establecieron las condiciones experimentales para el tratamiento de WJ-MSC con el fármaco PBIT, un inhibidor de la actividad de JARID1B, durante la diferenciación osteoblástica. El tratamiento con PBIT resultó en un aumento significativo de la expresión de RUNX2-P57, en conjunto con el enriquecimiento de la marca epigenética H3K4me3 en el promotor P1 de RUNX2. Sin embargo, no se observaron diferencias con respecto a la mineralización por deposición de sales de calcio en etapas tardías de la diferenciación en respuesta al tratamiento farmacológico. El silenciamiento de JARID1B resultó en un aumento de la expresión de RUNX2-P57, además del enriquecimiento de las marcas epigenéticas H3K4me3 y H3K27Ac en su promotor. xiii En concordancia con estudios previos realizados en el laboratorio, se concluye que las WJ-MSC poseen un potencial osteoblástico restringido, evidenciado por la activación de genes osteoblásticos tempranos y no de marcadores tardíos, frente a la inducción a diferenciación osteoblástica. Se reafirma así la propuesta de una barrera epigenética en RUNX2, que restringe el compromiso a linaje osteoblástico en WJ-MSC, dada por el origen ontogénico temprano de estas MSC, directamente relacionado con su potencial de desarrollo. La modulación epigenética en WJ-MSC, por medio de JARID1B, es capaz de incrementar significativamente la expresión de genes osteoblásticos tempranos, no así de potenciar la formación de osteoblastos y el proceso de mineralización. Proponemos el co-cultivo de WJ-MSC tratadas con PBIT sobre matrices biocompatibles, además de la adición de otros inductores de diferenciación osteoblástica, como BMP2, al medio de cultivo. Asimismo, se sugiere ensayar la adición de las moléculas de la vía de señalización Wnt, WISP1 y sFRP4, con el objetivo de incrementar el potencial osteoblástico de cultivos primarios de WJ-MSC. En definitiva, a pesar del enorme potencial terapéutico de las WJ-MSC, es necesario un mayor entendimiento de los mecanismos celulares que limitan el compromiso a linaje óseo, particularmente en relación a la barrera a nivel epigenético propuesta a raíz de nuestro trabajo con WJ-MSC, para respaldar sólidamente su uso en ingeniería de tejidos óseos y terapia regenerativa.
Worldwide, over 9 million bone fragility fractures are estimated to occur per year. Bone is the second most demanded tissue for transplantation in the health system, where autologous and allogenic grafts are used. In this scenario, the development of biocompatible bone grafts using adult stem cells for the optimization of bone regeneration is a solution with enormous potential in biomedicine. In this work, we aimed to increase the osteoblastic potential of mesenchymal stem cells derived from the Wharton’s Jelly of the umbilical cord (WJ-MSC), through the loss of function of JARID1B, an epigenetic repressor of the master gene RUNX2. In previous work, it was demonstrated that knockdown of JARID1B in the cell line C2C12 is capable of increasing RUNX2-P57 expression. Also, it was established that the epigenetic state of the promoters of RUNX2 and SP7 has a fundamental role in the maintenance of the limited osteoblastic potential of WJ-MSC. In the present thesis, we set the experimental conditions for the treatment of WJ-MSC in osteoblastic differentiation with the drug PBIT, an inhibitor of the activity of JARID1B. PBIT treatment resulted in a significant increase in RUNX2-P57 expression, along with the enrichment of the epigenetic mark H3K4me3 at RUNX2 P1 promoter. However, there were no differences in mineralization due to calcium salts deposition in late stages of osteoblastic differentiation, in response to pharmacological treatment. Knockdown of JARID1B resulted in an increase in RUNX2-P57 expression and in the enrichment of the epigenetic marks H3K4me3 and H3K27Ac at RUNX2 promoter. In concordance with previous research from our laboratory, we conclude that WJ-MSC have a restricted osteoblastic potential, as evidenced by the activation of early osteoblastic genes, but not late osteoblatic markers, when induced to osteoblastic differentiation. The proposal of an epigenetic barrier in RUNX2 that restricts the xv commitment to the osteoblastic lineage in WJ-MSC is then reaffirmed. It is given by the early ontogenetic origin of this MSC and directly related with its developmental potential. Epigenetic modulation in WJ-MSC through JARID1B is capable of significantly increasing the expression of early osteoblastic genes, but it is not capable of enhancing osteoblasts formation and mineralization. We propose the culture of PBIT-treated WJ-MSC over biocompatible matrix and the addition of other osteoblastic differentiation inducers such as BMP2. Similarly, we suggest testing the adittion of molecules from the Wnt signaling pathway, like WISP and sFRP4, to increase the osteoblastic potential in primary cultures of WJ-MSC. In summary, and despite their extensive therapeutic potential, a deeper understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying the limitation to the commitment of WJ-MSC to the bone lineage is needed to strongly support its application in bone tissue engineering and regenerative therapy, particularly in respect to the epigenetic barrier proposed in the light of our work with WJ-MSC primary cultures.

Pełny tekst źródłaParathyroid hormone (PTH) and its 1-34 fragment (rh 1-34 PTH) increase bone density and bone mass in rodents, primates and humans when administrated intermittently at low dosage. Rh 1-34 PTH administration to post-menopausal women with severe osteoporosis leads to a decrease in bone loss and a reduction in the number of new vertebral fractures. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underling this effect are not well understood. In our study, we have explored two pathways that could possibly be involved in die anabolic action of PTH : Matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) and the transcription factor Runx2. Other studies have indeed presented evidence that Runx2 could be a key mediator of the enhancement of collagenase-3 expression induced by PTH. In the first part of the study, we treated adult female mice which over express TIMP-1 in osteoblasts and their wild type littermates with PTH at a dose of 40μg/kg/d during 6 weeks. Our study indicates that inhibition of osteoblastic MMPs that reduces bone resorption in vivo has a positive effect on the anabolic treatment with PTH. We showed that the increase in bone resorption induced by PTH is abolished in transgenic mice but also that bone formation is maintained. In the second part of this study, we treated young female mice which over express the transcription factor Runx2 in osteoblast and their wild type littermate with PTH at a dose of 100μg/kg/d during 6 weeks. Our results showed that increasing the level of expression of the Runx2 transcription factor reduced the osteoblastic response to PTH. Our molecular and cellular analysis moreover demonstrated that Runx2 blunt the anabolic effect of PTH probably through a mechanism affecting osteoblastic differentiation. These two independent studies helped us to decipher the molecular mechanisms involving Runx2 and MMPs in the action of PTH. We suggest that Runx2 action in the PTH anabolism is independent from those involving MMPs

Pełny tekst źródłaL'osteoporosi es caracteritza per una baixa massa òssia i un deteriorament de la microarquitectura del teixit ossi. LRP5 és un membre de la superfamília de receptors de lipoproteïnes de baixa densitat, que actua com a co-receptor de la via de Wnt. LRP5 té una gran influència en la densitat mineral òssia. Runx2 és un membre de la família de factors de transcripció Runt amb un paper essencial en el control de la determinació i la diferenciació dels osteoblasts. La seva expressió és necessària per a la regulació dels gens de l'esquelet. Fins fa poc, Runx2 i LRP5 no havien estat connectats directament. Estudis recents han revelat la presència de cinc llocs d'unió de Runx2 en una regió de 2,9 kb upstream de LRP5 i s’ha documentat la unió de Runx2 a aquests llocs in vitro. Per explorar aquesta relació in vivo, en aquesta tesi es va emprar un protocol de diferenciació d’osteoblasts utilitzant la línia cel·lular hFOB. Es van avaluar els nivells de transcripció de RUNX2 i LRP5, juntament amb els de OCN, SOST i ALP al llarg de 21 dies de diferenciació. També es va avaluar les proteïnes Runx2 i LRP5. Per provar la ocupació de Runx2 als 5 llocs d'unió del promotor de LRP5, es van realitzar assaigs d'immunoprecipitació de cromatina durant la diferenciació de les cèl·lules hFOB, (dies 0, 7 i 21).

Pełny tekst źródłaRunx2 is a transcription factor essentiel for osteoblast differentiation and necessary for bone development. Moreover, transgenic mice overexpressing Runx2 specifically in osteoblast exhibit an early and severe osteoporosis associated with spontaneous fractures. Osteoporosis in mice overexpressing Runx2 is the result of an increased resorption coupled to a blocking of osteoblast differentiation. Our study was designed to determine whether the Wnt/p-Catenin, that is very important in the development of bone tissue, was involved in the mechanism inducing osteoporosis in mice overexpressing Runx2. In particular, we sought to highlight the involvement of Runx2 in the regulation of the Wnt and the impact of this pathway on the bone phenotype in mice overexpressing Runx2 and in their control. We have shown that the activity of p-Catenin is regulated in a dosé-dependent manner by expression of Runx2 in vitro and in vivo, and that stimulation of the Wnt pathway can restore the activity of p-Catenin and partially the differentiation of osteoblasts overexpressing Runx2. We also showed in vivo that stimulation of the Wnt pathway induces a restoration of trabecular bone phenotype. This restoration is due to inhibition of bone resorption with an increase in the synthesis of osteoprotegerin by osteoblasts. In conclusion, while a restoration of osteoblast differentiation was expected, we showed that stimulation of the Wnt signaling inhibits in vivo and in vitro osteoclast differentiation and thus bone resorption induced by overexpression of Runx2. Our work shows that the Wnt pathway is an indirect regulator of bone resorption induced by Runx2 in our model

Pełny tekst źródłaRunx2 was identified as a transcriptional factor which plays a pivotal role in isteoblast differentiation. It’s an essential mediator for osteoblastic phenotype involved in the regulation of genes that are important in commiting cells to the osteoblast lineage (such as proteins of the bone extracellular matrix). Runx2 belongs to the Runt-related transcriptional factor family which contains two other members (Runx1 and Runx3). Depending on conditions, Runx proteins can control proliferation and/or apoptosis in cell types where they are expressed. Increasing evidences are consistent with a requirement of Runx2 for control of osteoblast proliferation and recent data even suggested that Runx2 might act as a proapoptotic factor. In this thesis, we were interested to study in osteoblastic cells the effects of Runx2 level on the proliferation and apoptosis induced by TNFα which is one of the major cytokines modulating bone tissue metabolism. Thus we had developed two cellular models : (1) Human osteosarcoma cell line SaOs-2 stably transfected with Runx2 dominant negative construct (deltaRunx2). (2) Human mesenchymal stem cells in which Runx2 expression was inhibited by siRNA directed against Runx2. In this models, we had demonstrated that the inhibition of Runx2 activity induced an increase in proliferation. This increase was accompanied by a rise in cyclins A1, B1 and E1 expression and a decrease in the cyclins inhibitor p21 and p27. Moreover we observed that the inhibition of Runx2 protected the cells from the antiproliferative and the apoptotic effects induced by TNFα. This was accompanied by a decrease in the ratio Bax/Bcl2 and an inhibition in the expression and the activity of caspase 3. These results increased the common points between the three members of Runx proteins. This study confirmed that Runx2 represents a critical link between cell fate, proliferation and growth control. Moreover, we had shown that Runx2 expression could be essential to the reception of apoptotic stimulus. It brings us cellular models to understand the mechanisms involved for these regulations. Runx2 expression increases during osteoblastic differentiation, thus our results suggested that Runx2 might be implicated in the regulation of expression elements which they are involved in hormones and cytokines sensitivity during this process

Pełny tekst źródłaRunx2 is a key regulator of osteoblast-specific gene expression and controls the expression of multiple target genes during osteoblast differentiation. Althought some transcriptional targets for Runx2 are known, it is believed that the osteogenic action of Runx2 is mediated by aditional target genes and increasing studies are performed in order to identify such Runx2-responsive genes. To identify genes following the modification of Runx2 activity in osteoblastic cell line, SaOs-2 was stably transfected in order to overexpress Runx2 or a dominant negative mutant of Runx2. Comparison of gene expression patterns was performed by differential display on selected SaOs-2 clones and real time RT-PCR, western-blot or gel shift experiments were performed to verify our observations. This strategy allowed us to identify five new genes, SelM, elF-4AI, RPS24, CD99 and GNAS1, which may be under the control of Runx2 and led us to conclude that : 1 ) Runx2 expression seems to be linked to a global change in the cellular metabolism and cell growth with modulation of SelM, elF-4AI, and RPS24. 2 ) CD99/MIC2, marker of Ewing family tumors, may be associated with osteosarcoma cells in which normal Runx2 expression is perturbed by exogenous factors. 3 ) Runx2 is able to bind to the promoter of GNAS1, suggesting a direct regulation of this gene which encodes for the Gsα protein and numerous evidences showed that Gsα coupled receptors regulate bone mass. This regulation of Gsα protein by Runx2 seems to be of particular interest considering evidences on bone metabolism regulation by G protein

Pełny tekst źródłaEl cáncer ovárico epitelial (COE) es el cáncer ovárico más común, siendo en Chile la segunda causa de muerte por neoplasias ginecológicas. Un aspecto importante para la mantención y progresión tumoral es el establecimiento de nueva vasculatura. En COE, NGF y su receptor TRKA son mediadores directos de angiogénesis in vitro, e indirectos al inducir la expresión y secreción de VEGF. El factor transcripcional RUNX2 induce procesos oncogénicos como proliferación, migración e invasión celular. Adicionalmente, se cree que RUNX2 puede ser un mediador de angiogénesis tumoral, ya que en varios modelos de cáncer promueve la expresión de VEGF y sus niveles proteicos se incrementan en hipoxia. En COE, RUNX2 los niveles se relacionan con mal pronóstico y en modelos in vitro promueve proliferación, migración e invasión en células de cáncer ovárico, sin embargo, no existen estudios que busquen vincularlo con angiogénesis en este cáncer. Hipótesis: En cáncer ovárico epitelial se produce un aumento en los niveles de RUNX2, y en la línea celular A2780 de cáncer ovárico sus niveles son incrementados por los factores proangiogénicos NGF e hipoxia cuando se comparan con la línea celular HOSE de epitelio superficial ovárico normal. Objetivos: Establecer si RUNX2 se expresa en cáncer ovárico epitelial, si sus niveles se incrementan con la progresión de la transformación maligna del epitelio ovárico, y determinar si en el modelo de líneas celulares, RUNX2 es aumentado por las condiciones proangiogénicas de hipoxia y estímulo con NGF. Metodología: Se evaluaron los niveles proteicos de RUNX2 en tejidos ováricos (OVI, ovario normal inactivo; TBE-TBO, tumores ováricos Benignos y Borderline; y COE) mediante Western Blot, y a través de inmunohistoquímica se determinó el % células positivas con RUNX2 nuclear. En las líneas celulares HOSE y A2780 se evaluaron los niveles proteicos de RUNX2 en extractos totales y en fracciones subcelulares mediante Western Blot, y su localización subcelular mediante inmunocitoquímica. Adicionalmente, se realizaron estímulos con NGF, CoCl2 y ensayos de hipoxia en ambas líneas celulares, para posteriormente determinar los niveles proteicos de RUNX2 y HIF-1α por Western Blot. Resultados: Se determinó que los tejidos ováricos correspondientes a TBE-TBO y COE presentaron un mayor porcentaje de células positivas para RUNX2 nuclear respecto a lo observado en OVI. Por otro lado, ambas líneas celulares, HOSE y A2780, presentaron RUNX2 con localización principalmente nuclear, mostrando la línea HOSE niveles más altos respecto a la línea A2780. Los estímulos con NGF y CoCl2 no modificaron los niveles proteicos de RUNX2 en las líneas celulares en las condiciones analizadas. Por otra parte, se determinó que en la línea celular HOSE los niveles de RUNX2 disminuyen durante hipoxia, manteniéndose constantes los de HIF-1α. En el caso de las células A2780, no se observaron cambios en los niveles de las proteínas RUNX2 y HIF-1α en condiciones de hipoxia. Conclusiones: El presente trabajo permite concluir que los tejidos transformados de epitelio ovárico poseen un alto porcentaje de células con RUNX2 nuclear. Consistente con esto, la línea celular A2780 presenta altos niveles de RUNX2 en el núcleo, sugiriendo estos antecedentes un rol de RUNX2 en COE. Por otro lado, en las condiciones evaluadas, NGF e hipoxia no produjeron cambios en los niveles de RUNX2 en las líneas celulares. Proyección: Es necesario realizar nuevos ensayos para determinar con certeza si las condiciones proangiogénicas de NGF e hipoxia pueden inducir angiogénesis a través de RUNX2 en COE. En el caso de NGF es necesario evaluar si este puede influenciar la actividad transcripcional de RUNX2, y en el caso de hipoxia, se requiere modificar las condiciones experimentales para determinar con mayor seguridad si la restricción de oxígeno afecta los niveles de RUNX2
Epithelial ovarian cancer (COE) is the most common ovarian cancer, being Chile the second cause of death due to gynecological neoplasias. An important aspect for tumor maintenance and progression is the establishment of new vasculature. In COE, NGF and its TRKA receptor are direct mediators of in vitro angiogenesis, and indirectly by inducing VEGF expression and secretion. RUNX2 transcriptional factor induces oncogenic processes such as cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In addition, it is believed that RUNX2 may be a mediator of tumor angiogenesis, since in several cancer models it promotes the expression of VEGF and its protein levels increase in hypoxia. In COE, RUNX2 levels are related to poor prognosis and in vitro models promote proliferation, migration and invasion in ovarian cancer cells, however, there are no studies that seek to link it with angiogenesis in this cancer. Hypothesis: In epithelial ovarian cancer there is an increase in RUNX2 levels, and in the A2780 cell line of ovarian cancer their levels are increased by the proangiogenic factors NGF and hypoxia when compared to the HOSE cell line of normal ovarian surface epithelium. Objective: To establish whether RUNX2 is expressed in epithelial ovarian cancer, if its levels increase with the progression of malignant transformation of ovarian epithelium, and to determine if RUNX2 is increased in the cell lines model by the proangiogenic conditions of hypoxia and stimulation with NGF. Methods: RUNX2 protein levels in ovarian tissues (OVI, normal ovary, TBE-TBO, Benign ovarian tumors and Borderline, and COE) were evaluated by Western Blot, and by means of immunohistochemistry the percentage of RUNX2 nuclear positive cells was determined. In the HOSE and A2780 cell lines the protein levels of RUNX2 in total extracts and subcellular fractions were evaluated by Western Blot, and its subcellular localization by immunocytochemistry. Additionally, stimuli were performed with NGF, CoCl2 and hypoxia assays in both cell lines, to later determine the protein levels of RUNX2 and HIF-1α by Western Blot. Results: It was determined that the ovarian tissues corresponding to TBE-TBO and COE presented a higher percentage of RUNX2 nuclear positive cells than observed in OVI. On the other hand, both cell lines, HOSE and A2780, presented RUNX2 with mainly nuclear localization, showing the line HOSE levels higher than the line A2780. The stimuli with NGF and CoCl2 did not modify the protein levels of RUNX2 in the cell lines in the conditions analyzed. On the other hand, it was determined that in the HOSE cell line the levels of RUNX2 decrease during hypoxia, keeping those of HIF-1α constant. In the case of A2780 cells, no changes were observed in the levels of the RUNX2 and HIF-1α proteins under conditions of hypoxia. Conclusions: The present work concludes that the transformed tissues of ovarian epithelium possess a high percentage of cells with nuclear RUNX2. Consistent with this, the A2780 cell line presents high levels of RUNX2 in the nucleus, suggesting this background a RUNX2 role in COE. On the other hand, under the conditions evaluated, NGF and hypoxia did not produce changes in the RUNX2 levels in the cell lines. Projection: Further testing is required to determine with certainty whether the proangiogenic conditions of NGF and hypoxia may induce angiogenesis tHRPough RUNX2 in COE. In the case of NGF it is necessary to evaluate if this can influence the transcriptional activity of RUNX2, and in the case of hypoxia, it is necessary to modify the experimental conditions to determine more safely if the oxygen restriction affects RUNX2 levels

Osteoactivin (OA) is a glycoprotein required for the differentiation of osteoblasts. In osteoblasts, Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) activated Smad1 signaling enhances OA expression. However, the transcriptional regulation of OA gene expression by BMP-2 is still unknown. The aim of this study was to characterize BMP-2-induced transcription factors that regulate OA gene expression during osteoblast differentiation. The stimulatory effects of BMP-2 on OA transcription were established by cloning the proximal 0.96kb of rat OA promoter region in a luciferase reporter vector in various osteogenic cell types. Further, by deletion and mutagenesis analyses of the cloned OA promoter, key binding sites for osteogenic transcription factors namely, Runx2, Smad1, Smad4 and homeodomain proteins (Dlx3, Dlx5 and Msx2) were identified and characterized. Utilizing specific siRNAs to knock down Runx2, Smad1, Smad4, Dlx3, Dlx5 or Msx2 proteins in osteoblasts, we found that Runx2, Smad1, Smad4, Dlx3 and Dlx5 proteins up-regulate OA transcription, whereas, Msx2 down-regulated OA gene expression. These specific effects of transcription factors on OA promoter regulation were confirmed by forced expression of transcription factors. Most notably, BMP-2-stimulated cooperative and synergistic interactions between Runx2-Smad1 proteins and Dlx3-Dlx5 proteins that up-regulate OA promoter activity. Electrophoretic mobility shift and supershift assays demonstrated that BMP-2 stimulates interactions between Runx2, Smad1 and Smad4 and homeodomain transcription factors with the OA promoter regions flanking the -585 Runx2 binding site, the -248 Smad binding site and the region between the -852 and the -843 homeodomain binding sites relative to transcription start site. The OA promoter region was occupied by Runx2 and also Dlx3 transcription factors during proliferation stages of osteoblast differentiation. As the osteoblasts progress from proliferation to matrix maturation stages of differentiation, the OA promoter was predominantly occupied by Runx2 and to a lesser extent Dlx5 in response to BMP-2. Finally, during matrix mineralization stages of osteoblast differentiation, BMP-2-induced a robust recruitment of Dlx5, Smad1, Dlx3 and Msx2 proteins with simultaneous dissociation of Runx2 from the OA promoter region. In conclusion, the BMP-2-induced osteogenic transcription factors Runx2, Smad1, Smad4, Dlx3, Dlx5 and Msx2 provide key molecular switches that regulate OA transcription during osteoblast differentiation.
