Abstract: Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays an important role in the developing skeletal system. Our previous studies demonstrated that Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibits the ability of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 to suppress myotube formation in the multipotent mesenchymal cell line C2C12 and that this inhibition is mediated by Id1. In this study, we examined the role of intracellular signaling by Wnt/β-catenin and BMP-2 in regulating the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and of the receptor activator of NFkB ligand (RANKL). OPG expression was induced by Wnt/β-catenin signaling in C2C12 cells and osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Silencing of glycogen synthase kinase-3β also increased OPG expression. In contrast, RANKL expression was suppressed by Wnt/β-catenin signaling. In a transfection assay, β-catenin induced the activity of a reporter gene, a 1.5 kilobase fragment of the 5’-flanking region of the OPG gene. Deletion and mutation analyses revealed that Wnt/β-catenin signaling regulates transcription of OPG via a promoter region containing two Wnt/β-catenin responsive sites. BMP-2 enhanced Wnt/β-catenin-dependent transcriptional activation of the OPG promoter. In response to BMP-2 stimulation, Smad 1 and 4 interacted with these Wnt/β-catenin responsive sites. These results show that the regulation of OPG expression is mediated through two transcription pathways that involve the OPG promoter.
