Runx2 and Sp7 are essential transcription factors for osteoblast differentiation. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the proliferation of osteoblast progenitors remain unclear. The early onset of Runx2 expression caused limb defects through the Fgfr1-3 regulation by Runx2. To investigate the physiological role of Runx2 in the regulation of Fgfr1-3, we compared osteoblast progenitors in Sp7(-/-) and Runx2(-/-) mice. Osteoblast progenitors accumulated and actively proliferated in calvariae and mandibles of Sp7(-/-) but not of Runx2(-/-) mice, and the number of osteoblast progenitors and their proliferation were dependent on the gene dosage of Runx2 in Sp7(-/-) background. The expression of Fgfr2 and Fgfr3, which were responsible for the proliferation of osteoblast progenitors, was severely reduced in Runx2(-/-) but not in Sp7(-/-) calvariae. Runx2 directly regulated Fgfr2 and Fgfr3, increased the proliferation of osteoblast progenitors, and augmented the FGF2-induced proliferation. The proliferation of Sp7(-/-) osteoblast progenitors was enhanced and strongly augmented by FGF2, and Runx2 knockdown reduced the FGF2-induced proliferation. Fgfr inhibitor AZD4547 abrogated all of the enhanced proliferation. These results indicate that Runx2 is required for the proliferation of osteoblast progenitors and induces proliferation, at least partly, by regulating Fgfr2 and Fgfr3 expression.

Molecular Mechanisms Involved in the Progression and Protection of Osteoarthritis

Yoshifumi Takahata, Tomohiko Murakami, Kenji Hata, Riko Nishimura

Summary: Recent studies have focused on elucidating the molecular aspects of osteoarthritis using a stress-induced mechanical load model in mice. Chondrocyte hypertrophy is found to be induced in articular cartilage, potentially serving as a target for early treatment of osteoarthritis. Inflammatory cytokines and matrix proteinases are expected to be important molecules for the management of the disease.

Zfhx4 regulates endochondral ossification as the transcriptional platform of Osterix in mice

Summary: The study revealed Zfhx4 as a crucial transcriptional partner of Osterix in endochondral ossification, showing physical and genetic interactions between the two. Zfhx4 deficiency led to inhibited calcification and reduced expression of matrix metallopeptidase 13 in cartilage, resembling impaired chondrogenesis in Osterix deficient mice. Additionally, Zfhx4 interacted with Runx2 upstream of Osterix in the transcriptional network.

Summary: The transcription factors Runx1 and Runx2 play critical roles in the cellular niches of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Lack of these transcription factors in CAR cells is associated with increased fibrosis and reduced HSCs in bone marrow. Runx1 is predominantly expressed in CAR cells and is induced by the transcription factor Foxc1, which decreases fibrotic gene expression in CAR cells.

Semaphorin 4D induces articular cartilage destruction and inflammation in joints by transcriptionally reprogramming chondrocytes

Tomohiko Murakami, Yoshifumi Takahata, Kenji Hata, Kosuke Ebina, Katsutoshi Hirose, Lerdluck Ruengsinpinya, Yuri Nakaminami, Yuki Etani, Sachi Kobayashi, Takashi Maruyama, Hiroyasu Nakano, Takehito Kaneko, Satoru Toyosawa, Hiroshi Asahara, Riko Nishimura

Summary: Proinflammatory cytokine Sema4D plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of joint diseases by directly promoting cartilage destruction. Sema4D induces a proinflammatory response in articular chondrocytes by activating proteolytic enzymes that degrade cartilage. This induction is independent of RhoA but relies on NF-kappa B signaling and Ras-MEK-Erk1/2 signaling mediated by Plexin-B2 and c-Met receptors.
