    Notes: Interrelationships between proliferation and expression of cell growth as well as bone cell-related genes were examined from two standpoints. First, the consequence of downregulating proliferation by DNA synthesis inhibition on expression of a cell cycle-regulated histone gene and genes associated with development of the bone cell phenotype (type I collagen, alkaline phosphatase, osteopontin, and osteocalcin) was investigated. Second, the requirement for stringent growth control to support functional relationships between expression of proliferation and differentiation-related genes was explored. Parameters of cell growth and osteoblast-related gene expression in primary cultures of normal diploid osteoblasts, that initially express proliferation-dependent genes and subsequently postproliferative genes associated with mature bone cell phenotypic properties, were compared to those operative in ROS 17/2.8 osteosarcoma cells that concomitantly express cell growth and mature osteoblast phenotypic genes. Our findings indicate that in both normal diploid osteoblasts and osteosarcoma cells, expression of the cell cycle regulated histone genes is tightly coupled with DNA synthesis and controlled predominantly at a posttranscriptional level. Inhibition of proliferation by blocking DNA synthesis with hydroxyurea upregulates a subset of developmentally expressed genes that postproliferatively support progressive establishment of mature osteoblast phenotypic properties (e.g., alkaline phosphatase, type I collagen, and osteopontin). However, the osteocalcin gene, which is expressed during the final stage of osteoblast differentiation when extracellular matrix mineralization occurs, is not upregulated. Variations in the extent to which inhibition of proliferation in normal diploid osteoblasts and in ROS 17/2.8 osteosarcoma cells selectively affects transcription and cellular levels of mRNA transcripts from bone cell-related genes (e.g., osteocalcin) may reflect modifications in proliferation/differentiation interrelationships when stringent growth control is abrogated.

    Notes: Osteocalcin is a 6 kD tissue-specific calcium binding protein associated with the bone extracellular matrix. The osteocalcin gene is developmentally expressed in postproliferative rat osteoblasts with regulation at least in part at the transcriptional level. Multiple, basal promoter and enhancer elements which control transcriptional activity in response to physiological mediators, including steroid hormones, have been identified in the modularly organized osteocalcin gene promoter. The osteocalcin box (OC box) is a highly conserved basal regulatory element residing between nucleotides -99 and -76 of the proximal promoter. We recently established by in vivo competition analysis that protein interactions at the CCAAT motif, which is the central core of the rat OC box, are required for support of basal transcription [Heinrichs et al. J Cell Biochem 53:240-250, 1993]. In this study, by the combined utilization of electrophoretic mobility shift analysis, UV cross linking, and DNA affinity chromatography, we have identified a protein that binds to the rat OC box. Results are presented that support involvement of the OC box-binding protein in regulating selective expression of the osteocalcin gene during differentiation of the rat osteoblast phenotype and suggest that this protein is tissue restricted.

    Notes: There is a generalized reciprocal relationship between cell growth and expression of genes that occurs following completion of proliferation, which supports the progressive development of cell and tissue phenotypes. Molecular mechanisms which couple the shutdown of proliferation with initiation of tissue-specific gene transcription have been addressed experimentally in cultures of primary diploid osteoblasts that undergo a growth and differentiation developmental sequence. Evidence is presented for a model which postulates that genes transcribed post-proliferatively are suppressed during cell growth by binding of the Fos/Jun protein complex to AP-1 Promoter sites associated with vitamin D responsive elements of several genes encoding osteoblast phenotype markers (Type I collagen, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin).

    Notes: Establishing reuglatory mechanisms that mediate proliferation of osteoblasts while restricting expression of genes asociated with mature bone cell phenotypic properties to post-proliferative cells is fundamental to understanding skeletal development. To gain insight into relationships between growth control and the developmental expression of genes during osteblast differentiation, we have examined expression of three classes of genes during the cell cycle of normal diploid rat calvarial-derived osteoblasts and rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8): cell cycle and growth-related to the biosynthesis, organization, and mineralization of the bone extracellular matrix (e.g., alkaline phosphatase, collagen l, osteocalcin, and osteopontin). In normal diploid osteoblasts as well as in osteosarcoma cells we found that histone genes, required for cell progression, are selectively expressed during S phase. All other genes studied were constitutively expressed both at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Alkaline phosphatase, an integral membrane protein in both osteoblasts and osteosarcoma cells, exhibited only minimal changes in activity during the osteoblast and osteosarcoma cell cycles. Our findings clearly indicate that despite the loss of normal proliferation-differentiation interrelationships in osteosarcoma cells, cell cycle regulatin or constitutive expression of growth and phenotypic genes is maintained.

    Notes: Spontaneous differentiation of normal diploid osteoblasts in culture is accompanied by increased cyclin E associated kinase activity on (1) the retinoblastoma susceptibility protein pRB, (2) the p107 RB related protein, and (3) two endogenous cyclin E-associated substrates of 78 and 105 kD. Activity of the differentiation-related cyclin E complexes (diff.ECx) is not recovered in cdc2 or cdk2 immunoprecipitates. Phosphorylation of both the 105 kD endogenous substrate and the p107 exogenous substrate is sensitive to inhibitory activity (diff.ECx-i) present in proliferating osteoblasts. This inhibitory activity is readily recruited by the cyclin E complexes of differentiated osteoblasts but is not found in cyclin E immunoprecipitates of the proliferating cells themselves. Strong inhibitory activity on diff.ECx kinase activity is excerted by proliferating ROS 17/2.8 osteosarcoma cells. However, unlike the normal diploid cells, the diff.ECx-i activity of proliferating ROS 17/2.8 cells is recovered by cyclin E immunoprecipitation. The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21CIP1/WAF1 inhibits diff.ECx kinase activity. Thus, our results suggest the existence of a unique regulatory system, possibly involving p21CIP1/WAF1, in which inhibitory activity residing in proliferating cells is preferentially targeted towards differentiation-related cyclin E-associated kinase activity.

    Notes: Fetal rat calvarial-derived osteoblasts in vitro (ROB) reinitiate a developmental program from growth to differentiation concomitant with production of a bone tissue-like organized extracellular matrix. To identify novel genes which may mediate this sequence, we isolated total RNA from three stages of the cellular differentiation process (proliferation, extracellular matrix maturation, and mineralization), for screening gene expression by the differential mRNA display technique. Of 15 differentially displayed bands that were analyzed by Northern blot analysis, one prominent 310 nucleotide band was confirmed to be proliferation-stage specific. Northern blot analysis showed a 600-650 nt transcript which was highly expressed in proliferating cells and decreased to trace levels after confluency and throughout the differentiation process. We have designated this transcript PROM-1 (for proliferating cell marker). A full length PROM-1 cDNA of 607 bp was obtained by 5′ RACE. A short open reading frame encoded a putative 37 amino acid peptide with no significant similarity to known sequences. Expression of PROM-1 in the ROS 17/2.8 osteosarcoma cell line was several fold greater than in normal diploid cells and was not downregulated when ROS 17/2.8 cells reached confluency. The relationship of PROM-1 expression to cell growth was also observed in diploid fetal rat lung fibroblasts. Hydroxyurea treatment of proliferating osteoblasts blocked PROM-1 expression; however, its expression was not cell cycle regulated. Upregulation of PROM-1 in response to TGF-β paralleled the stimulatory effects on growth as quantitated by histone gene expression. In conclusion, PROM-1 represents a small cytoplasmic polyA containing RNA whose expression is restricted to the exponential growth period of normal diploid cells; the gene appears to be deregulated in tumor derived cell lines.

    Notes: The AML/CBFA family of runt homology domain (rhd) transcription factors regulates expression of mammalian genes of the hematopoietic lineage. AML1, AML2, and AML3 are the three AML genes identified to date which influence myeloid cell growth and differentiation. Recently, AML-related proteins were identified in an osteoblast-specific promoter binding complex that functionally modulates bone-restricted transcription of the osteocalcin gene. In the present study we demonstrate that in primary rat osteoblasts AML-3 is the AML family member present in the osteoblast-specific complex. Antibody specific for AML-3 completely supershifts this complex, in contrast to antibodies with specificity for AML-1 or AML-2. AML-3 is present as a single 5.4 kb transcript in bone tissues. To establish the functional involvement of AML factors in osteoblast differentiation, we pursued antisense strategies to alter expression of rhd genes. Treatment of osteoblast cultures with rhd antisense oligonucleotides significantly decreased three parameters which are linked to differentiation of normal diploid osteoblasts: the representation of alkaline phosphatase-positive cells, osteocalcin production, and the formation of mineralized nodules. Our findings indicate that AML-3 is a key transcription factor in bone cells and that the activity of rhd proteins is required for completion of osteoblast differentiation. J. Cell.

    Notes: Organization of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) type I receptor (TRI) promoter predicts constitutive transcription, although its activity increases with differentiation status in cultured osteoblasts. Several sequences in the rat TRI promoter comprise cis-acting elements for CBFa (AML/PEBP2α) transcription factors. By gel mobility shift and immunological analyses, a principal osteoblast-derived nuclear factor that binds to these sites is CBFa1(AML-3/PEBP2αA). Rat CBFa1 levels parallel expression of the osteoblast phenotype and increase under conditions that promote mineralized bone nodule formation in vitro. Fusion of CBFa binding sequence from the TRI promoter to enhancer-free transfection vector increases reporter gene expression in cells that possess abundant CBFa1, and overexpression of CBFa increase the activity of transfected native TRI promoter/reporter plasmid. Consequently, phenotype-restricted use of cis-acting elements for CBFa transcription factors can contribute to the high levels of TRI that parallel osteoblast differentiation and to the potent effects of TGF-β on osteoblast function.
