摘要
Chondromodulin-1 (ChM-1) is a cartilage-specific glycoprotein that stimulates the growth of chondrocytes and inhibits the tube formation of endothelial cells. To clarify the tissue-specific expression and the role of ChM-1 in pathophysiological conditions, we analyzed the structure of the human ChM-1 gene and its promoter. On the screening of a human genomic cosmid library using the human ChM-1 complimentary DNA (cDNA) as a probe, two clones were obtained that contained ChM-1 cDNA, The restriction enzyme map and nucleotide sequence revealed the human ChM-1 gene consisting: of seven exons and exon-intron boundaries. The human ChM-1 gene was assigned to chromosome 13q14-21 by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using the clone as a probe. A primer extension analysis using total RNA extracted from human cartilage revealed a major transcription start site with the sequence CGCT(+1)GG. The region approximately 3-kilobase (kb) nucleotides upstream of the translation start site was then sequenced and analyzed in terms of promoter activity. We found that a region 446 base pairs (bp) upstream of the start site had promoter activity in COS7, HeLa, and ATDC5 cells. In structure the promoter is a TATA-less type without a CC-rich region.-The transcription factors Sox9, Og12, and Cart-1 did not affect the promoter activity,The transcription factor Ying-Yang1 suppressed the promoter activity but GABP protein did not change the promoter activity. The construct containing -446/+87 fused to the SV40 enhancer and green fluorescent protein (CFP) exhibited expression of CFP corresponding to the differentiation of ATDC5 cells to mature chondrocytes, These results suggest that the element -446/+87 confers the cartilage-specific expression of this gene by some factor(s) other than Sox9, Og12, and Cart-1.
