Abstract

We recently reported on the overexpression of Runx2 (Cbfa1/AML3), an osteoblast-specific transcription factor, in human papillary thyroid cancer tissues. We report here that normal thyrocytes also express Runx2 and that Runx2(+/-) mice are in a hypothyroid state. To clarify the mechanism, we studied the effects of small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of Runx2 on thyroid-specific gene expression in FRTL-5 cells. Lowering the levels of Runx2 had no effect on the amount of Na(+)/I(-) symporter mRNA but markedly decreased the amount of thyroglobulin (Tg) mRNA. A Runx2 binding consensus sequence is present on the Tg gene promoter, and gel-shift assay revealed that Runx2 binds to this region. Reporter assay showed that deletion of the region or introduction of a mutation into the binding site significantly impairs promoter function. These results indicate that Runx2 deficiency in mice causes decreased Tg expression and a novel type of hypothyroidism.

摘要

我们最近报道了成骨细胞特异性转录因子Runx2(Cbfa1/AML3)在人甲状腺乳头状癌组织中的过表达。我们在此报告,正常甲状腺细胞也表达Runx2,且Runx2(+/-)小鼠处于甲状腺功能减退状态。为阐明其机制,我们研究了小干扰RNA介导的Runx2沉默对FRTL-5细胞中甲状腺特异性基因表达的影响。降低Runx2水平对钠/碘同向转运体mRNA的量没有影响,但显著降低了甲状腺球蛋白(Tg)mRNA的量。Tg基因启动子上存在Runx2结合共有序列,凝胶迁移试验表明Runx2与该区域结合。报告基因试验表明,该区域的缺失或结合位点的突变显著损害启动子功能。这些结果表明,小鼠中Runx2缺乏导致Tg表达降低和一种新型的甲状腺功能减退。
