The Cbfa1/Runx2 (referred to herein as Cbfa1) transcription factor has been shown to be essential for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation during embryogenesis. PTH given intermittently is a proven bone anabolic agent. Here, we investigated whether PTH regulates the expression and/or activity of Cbfa1 in osteoblastic cells and in a rat metatarsal organ culture assay. PTH was found to regulate Cbfa1 mRNA in the rat osteosarcoma cell line UMR106 in a concentration-dependent manner. The effect of PTH was mimicked by forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase leading to the protein kinase A pathway. PTH administered intermittently for 5 d in vivo was found to stimulate Cbfa1 protein in the rat proximal tibiae metaphysis. To demonstrate PTH regulation of Cbfa1 activity, a construct containing six tandem Cbfa1 binding elements fused to luciferase was shown to be rapidly stimulated in response to PTH. This stimulation preceded the effects on mRNA regulation and resulted from a protein kinase A-mediated increase in Cbfa1 activity. Finally, using a neonate rat metatarsal organ culture system, we demonstrated dose-dependent anabolic responsiveness to PTH and to Cbfa1 overexpression from an adenoviral construct. We further showed that Cbfa1 antisense oligonucleotides that blocked adenoviral Cbfa1-induced anabolic effects in this organ culture model also abolished the PTH-mediated anabolic increase. These findings suggest a requirement for Cbfa1 in mediating the anabolic effects of PTH. Thus, regulation of Cbfa1 expression or activity is an important mechanism by which PTH controls osteoblast function.
