P53 plays a central role in the development of osteoporosis.

ABSTRACT: Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease affecting 40% of postmenopausal women. It is characterized by decreased bone mass per unit volume and increased risk of fracture. We investigated the molecular mechanism underlying osteoporosis by identifying the genes involved in its development. Osteoporosis-related genes were identified by analyzing RNA microarray data in the GEO database to detect genes differentially expressed in osteoporotic and healthy individuals. Enrichment and protein interaction analyses carried out to identify the hub genes among the deferentially expressed genes revealed TP53, MAPK1, CASP3, CTNNB1, CCND1, NOTCH1, CDK1, IGF1, ERBB2, CYCS to be the top 10 hub genes. In addition, p53 had the highest degree score in the protein-protein interaction network. In vivo and in vitro experiments showed that TP53 gene expression and serum p53 levels were upregulated in osteoporotic patients and a mouse osteoporosis model. The elevated p53 levels were associated with decreases in bone mass, which could be partially reversed by knocking down p53. These findings suggest p53 may play a central role in the development of osteoporosis.

Project description:RATIONALE:Mutations in the transcription factor TBX20 (T-box 20) are associated with congenital heart disease. Germline ablation of Tbx20 results in abnormal heart development and embryonic lethality by embryonic day 9.5. Because Tbx20 is expressed in multiple cell lineages required for myocardial development, including pharyngeal endoderm, cardiogenic mesoderm, endocardium, and myocardium, the cell type-specific requirement for TBX20 in early myocardial development remains to be explored. OBJECTIVE:Here, we investigated roles of TBX20 in midgestation cardiomyocytes for heart development. METHODS AND RESULTS:Ablation of Tbx20 from developing cardiomyocytes using a doxycycline inducible cTnTCre transgene led to embryonic lethality. The circumference of developing ventricular and atrial chambers, and in particular that of prospective left atrium, was significantly reduced in Tbx20 conditional knockout mutants. Cell cycle analysis demonstrated reduced proliferation of Tbx20 mutant cardiomyocytes and their arrest at the G1-S phase transition. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis of mutant cardiomyocytes revealed differential expression of multiple genes critical for cell cycle regulation. Moreover, atrial and ventricular gene programs seemed to be aberrantly regulated. Putative direct TBX20 targets were identified using TBX20 ChIP-Seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation with high throughput sequencing) from embryonic heart and included key cell cycle genes and atrial and ventricular specific genes. Notably, TBX20 bound a conserved enhancer for a gene key to atrial development and identity, COUP-TFII/Nr2f2 (chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor 2/nuclear receptor subfamily 2, group F, member 2). This enhancer interacted with the NR2F2 promoter in human cardiomyocytes and conferred atrial specific gene expression in a transgenic mouse in a TBX20-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS:Myocardial TBX20 directly regulates a subset of genes required for fetal cardiomyocyte proliferation, including those required for the G1-S transition. TBX20 also directly downregulates progenitor-specific genes and, in addition to regulating genes that specify chamber versus nonchamber myocardium, directly activates genes required for establishment or maintenance of atrial and ventricular identity. TBX20 plays a previously unappreciated key role in atrial development through direct regulation of an evolutionarily conserved COUPT-FII enhancer.
