DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Osteoporosis is a major public health threat characterized by low bone mass leading to an increased susceptibility to skeletal fractures. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment is a promising new therapy that stimulates bone formation, however the mechanisms underlying this anabolic response are largely unknown. The molecular basis underlying PTH-induced changes in osteoblast phenotype involves the integration of soluble signaling pathways with a solid-state scaffold, itself capable of transmitting information to target genes. The interlinking proteins of the extracellular matrix, the focal adhesions, the cytoskeleton, and the nuclear matrix comprise this scaffold or tissue matrix. Nmp4/CIZ (nuclear matrix protein 4/cas-interacting zinc finger protein) may integrate PTH activated soluble and solid-state signaling pathways with transcription. This protein is a PTH-responsive component of the osteoblast tissue matrix and a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling transcription factor. As a transcription factor, Nmp4/CIZ governs the amplitude of transcription induction (synergy control). For example, Nmp4/CIZ suppresses the increase in activity of specific osteoblast genes responding to PTH, prostaglandin E2, and bone morphogenetic protein 2. The loss of this function may contribute to the skeletal phenotype of Nmp4/CIZ knockout mice, which includes an enhanced skeletal response to PTH and BMP2. Our preliminary studies indicate that Nmp4/CIZ synergy control involves hormone regulation of Nmp4/CIZ-DNA binding activity and an interaction with Runx2. As a signaling molecule, Nmp4/CIZ may regulate osteoblast proliferation via an interaction with p130cas, an integrin- associated docking protein involved in mitogenesis. Nmp4/CIZ is also expressed in the osteoclast and our preliminary data indicate a role in osteoclastogenesis. We hypothesize that the functions of Nmp4/CIZ as signaling molecule and transcription factor are integrated in mediating PTH-induced changes in skeletal architecture. Wild type and Nmp4/CIZ genetically modified mice will be used to study the role of Nmp4/CIZ in mediating PTH-induced changes in bone phenotype. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts derived from these mice will be used to determine the functional role of Nmp4/CIZ as a signaling molecule and transcription factor in mediating bone cell response to hormone. The relevance of this work to public health is that it will identify a potential new therapeutic target for the treatment of osteoporosis.

描述（由申请人提供）：骨质疏松症是一种主要的公共卫生威胁，其特征是骨量低，导致骨骼骨折的易感性增加。甲状旁腺激素 (PTH) 治疗是一种有前途的刺激骨形成的新疗法，但这种合成代谢反应背后的机制在很大程度上尚不清楚。 PTH 诱导的成骨细胞表型变化的分子基础涉及可溶性信号通路与固态支架的整合，固态支架本身能够将信息传递到靶基因。细胞外基质、粘着斑、细胞骨架和核基质的互连蛋白构成了该支架或组织基质。 Nmp4/CIZ（核基质蛋白 4/cas 相互作用锌指蛋白）可能会将 PTH 激活的可溶性和固态信号通路与转录整合起来。该蛋白是成骨细胞组织基质的 PTH 响应成分，也是核质穿梭转录因子。作为转录因子，Nmp4/CIZ 控制转录诱导的幅度（协同控制）。例如，Nmp4/CIZ 抑制响应 PTH、前列腺素 E2 和骨形态发生蛋白 2 的特定成骨细胞基因活性的增加。这种功能的丧失可能导致 Nmp4/CIZ 敲除小鼠的骨骼表型，其中包括对 PTH 和 BMP2 的骨骼反应增强。我们的初步研究表明，Nmp4/CIZ 协同控制涉及 Nmp4/CIZ-DNA 结合活性的激素调节以及与 Runx2 的相互作用。作为一种信号分子，Nmp4/CIZ 可以通过与 p130cas（一种参与有丝分裂的整合素相关对接蛋白）相互作用来调节成骨细胞增殖。 Nmp4/CIZ 也在破骨细胞中表达，我们的初步数据表明其在破骨细胞生成中发挥作用。我们假设 Nmp4/CIZ 作为信号分子和转录因子的功能整合在介导 PTH 诱导的骨骼结构变化中。野生型和 Nmp4/CIZ 转基因小鼠将用于研究 Nmp4/CIZ 在介导 PTH 诱导的骨表型变化中的作用。来自这些小鼠的成骨细胞和破骨细胞将用于确定 Nmp4/CIZ 作为信号分子和转录因子在介导骨细胞对激素反应中的功能作用。这项工作与公共卫生的相关性在于，它将确定治疗骨质疏松症的潜在新治疗靶点。
