Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is an integral mediator of physiologic and pathologic processes and has demonstrated actions in the periodontium. PTHrP functions via AP-1, and specifically through JunB. This study identified JunB-dependent downstream mediators of PTHrP using OCCM cementoblastic transfectants with JunB over- or reduced expression. Over-expressing cells showed an increase in proliferation, while the opposite was seen in siRNA transfected cells. Microarray analysis of over-expressing cells revealed more than 1000 regulated genes. Three genes were investigated in more detail. The PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTHR1) and ephrin B1 (EfnB1) were down-regulated, and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) was up-regulated with JunB over-expression. JunB siRNA transfectants had increased PTHR1, but reduced ephrin B1 and unaltered VCAM-1 in vitro. To validate these targets, parental OCCM cells and primary osteoblasts were treated with PTHrP, resulting in reduced PTHR1 and ephrin B1, and increased VCAM-1. Cell transfectants were implanted subcutaneously in vivo, and microarray analysis and RT-PCR performed. Over-expression of JunB down-regulated PTHR1 and ephrin B1, and increased VCAM-1. JunB siRNA transfectant implants had increased PTHR1 and ephrin B1, but no altered VCAM-1. These data highlight new gene targets for PTHrP and indicate JunB is a critical mediator of PTHrP actions.
