Menin promotes the commitment of pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells to the osteoblast lineage by interacting with the BMP-2 signaling molecules Smad1/5, and Runx2. However, the relationship between menin and the Wnt-β-catenin pathway in bone is unclear. Reduction of menin expression by transfection of a menin antisense construct did not alter the levels of β-catenin in mouse mesenchymal C2C12 and osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. However, menin co-immunoprecipitated with β-catenin as well as LEF-1 in C2C12 and MC3T3-E1 cells. Reduction of menin expression by antisense menin transfection antagonized β-catenin-induced transcriptional activity of the pGL3-OT luciferase reporter construct in C2C12 and MC3T3-E1 cells. Antisense menin transfection antagonized the BMP-2 and β-catenin-stimulated increases in Runx2 and alkaline phosphatase levels in C2C12 cells. The data show that menin interacts with β-catenin in mouse mesenchymal and osteoblastic cells, and suggest that the interaction is important for osteoblast differentiation.
