Transcription factor Sp7, also called Osterix (Osx), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SP7 gene.[5] In mesenchymal precursor cells expressing Runx-2, Sp7 expression will induce these cells to differentiate into osteoblasts, and subsequently osteocytes during bone formation.[5] Sp7 also plays a dual role to inhibit chondrocyte differentiation.[6] Mutations of this gene are associated with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), osteoporosis, and other bone diseases.[7]
Contents
Knockout model
Inactivation of Sp7 in adult mice led to lack of new bone formation, cartilage accumulation (specifically beneath the growth plate) and other defects in osteocyte maturation and function.[8] Ablation of Sp7 genes also led to decreased expression of various other osteocyte-specific markers such as: Sost, Dkk1, Dmp1, and Phe. Researchers also revealed the importance of Sp7 in the removal of the cartilaginous matrix and remodeling process with bone tissues.[8]
Clinical relevance
Bone fracture repair
Accelerated bone fracture healing was found when researchers implanted Sp7-expressing bone marrow stroma cells at a site of bone fracture. It was found that the mechanism by which Sp7-expression accelerated bone healing was by new bone formation as well as induction of neighboring cells to express bone-specific genes.[9] Similar results have been seen with osseo-integrating implants.[10][11]
Treatment of osteosarcomas
Sp7 expression is decreased in mouse and human osteosarcoma cell lines as compared to normal osteoblasts. Transfection of the SP7 gene into the mouse osteosarcoma cells reduced tumor incidence, tumor volume, and lung metastasis. Sp7 expression was also found to decrease bone destruction by the sarcoma.[12]
