Mice lacking GPR103A expression display osteopenia. Analysis of mouse quantitative trait loci literature associated with bone mineral density suggested GPR103A ligand P518/Qrfp (chromosome 2qB) as a candidate osteoporosis gene. Promoter and coding regions of mouse P518/Qtfp were sequenced from genomic DNA obtained from the osteoporosis-prone strain SAMP6 and control strains SAMR1, A/J, AKR/J, BALB/c, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, and DBA/2.1. Four sing I e-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in only SAMP6 genomic DNA, g.-1773 T -> C, g.110 A -> G (N37S), g.188 G -> A (ROK), and g.135 T -> C (H45H). The promoter SNP generated a novel neuron-restrictive silencing factor binding site, a repressor that decreases gene expression in nonneuronal tissues. TaqMan analysis demonstrated fivefold lower P518/Qrfp liver expression in SAMP6 versus SAMRI or C57BL/6J control strains. Tissue distribution of human, mouse, and rat P518/Qtfp and its receptors showed expression in bone and spinal cord. A direct role for P518/Qrfp function in maintaining bone mineral density is suggested. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
