Abstract : [ABSTRACT] To elucidate the mechanisms of tissue specific gene expression of BSP, we have cloned 16kbp from 5' flanking region of mouse BSP gene and investigated the functional relevance between Cbfa1/Pebp2∂A1 and cis-acting elements. 5' deletion analyses of BSP promoter-luciferase chimeric constructs showed that the promoter activity of p4.5kb-Luc encompassing both distal and proximal Cbfa1/Pebp2∂A1 site was enhanced ~ 6 fold on cotransfection with the Cbfa1/Pebp2∂A1 expression vector whereas that of p4.2kbp-Luc encompassing proximal site was not in KUSA-A1 (differentiated osteoblasts with expressing BSP). The enhancement of distal Cbfa1/Pebp2∂A1 site was completely ablogated in KUSA-O (nondifferentiated osteoblasts without expressing BSP). Western blot analyses using mouse anti-mouse Pebp2∂A1 monoclonal antibody showed that both KUSA-A1 and KUSA-O synthesized the relative large amount of Cbfa1/Pebp2∂A1 protein. These results identified the functional Cbfa1/Pebp2∂A1 responsive element and suggested that Cbfa1/Pebp2∂A1 was requisite for the transcriptional regulation of BSP but another additional factor was participated in the differentiated osteoblast.
