摘要

Synthesis of the FSH beta-subunit (FSHbeta) is critical for normal reproduction in mammals, and its expression within the pituitary gonadotrope is tightly regulated by activin. Here we show that Runt-related (RUNX) proteins, transcriptional regulators known to interact with TGFbeta signaling pathways, suppress activin induction of FSHbeta gene expression. Runx2 is expressed within the murine pituitary gland and dramatically represses activin-induced FSHbeta promoter activity, without affecting basal expression in LbetaT2 cells, an immortalized mouse gonadotrope cell line. This repressive effect is specific, because RUNX2 induces LHbeta transcription (with or without activin) and does not interfere with GnRH induction of either gonadotropin beta-subunit gene. Analysis of the murine FSHbeta promoter by transfection and gel shift assays reveals that RUNX2 repression localizes to a Runx-binding element at -159/-153, which is adjacent to a previously recognized region critical for activin induction. Mutation of this -153 activin-response element or, indeed, any of the five activin-responsive regions prevents activin induction and, in fact, RUNX2 suppression, instead converting RUNX2 to an activator of the FSHbeta gene. Although the Runx-binding element is required for RUNX2-mediated repression of FSHbeta induction by either activin or Smad3, confirming a functional role of this novel site, protein interactions in addition to those between RUNX2 and Smads are necessary to account for full repression of activin induction. In summary, the present study provides evidence for Runx2-mediated repression of activin-induced FSHbeta gene expression and reveals the context dependence of Runx2 action in hormonal regulation of the gonadotropin genes.
