Abstract
Previous genome-wide linkage and association studies have identified an osteoporosis-associated locus at 1p36 that harbors SNPs rs34920465 and rs6426749. The 1p36 locus also comprises the WNT4 gene with known role in bone metabolism and functionally unknown ZBTB40/lncRNA ZBTB40-IT1 genes. How these might interact to contribute to osteoporosis susceptibility is not known. In this study, we show that lncRNA ZBTB40-IT1 is able to suppress osteogenesis and promote osteoclastogenesis by regulating the expression of WNT4, RUNX2, OSX, ALP, COL1A1, OPG and RANKL in U-2OS and hFOB1.19 cell lines, whereas ZBTB40 plays an opposite role in bone metabolism. Treatment with parathyroid hormone significantly downregulates the expression of ZBTB40-IT1 in U-2OS cell lines. ZBTB40 can suppress ZBTB40-IT1 expression but has no response to parathyroid hormone treatment. Dual-luciferase assay and biotin pull-down assay demonstrate that osteoporosis GWAS lead SNPs rs34920465-G and rs6426749-C alleles can respectively bind transcription factors JUN::FOS and CREB1, and upregulate ZBTB40 and ZBTB40-IT1 expression. Our study discovers the critical role of ZBTB40 and lncRNA ZBTB40-IT1 in bone metabolism, and provides a mechanistic basis for osteoporosis GWAS lead SNPs rs34920465 and rs6426749.Entities:
