RESUMEN

Runx2 is an essential transcription factor for bone formation. Although osteocalcin, osteopontin, and bone sialoprotein are well-known Runx2-regulated bone-specific genes, the skeletal phenotypes of knockout (KO) mice for these genes are marginal compared with those of Runx2 KO mice. These inconsistencies suggest that unknown Runx2-regulated genes play important roles in bone formation. To address this, we attempted to identify the Runx2 targets by performing RNA-sequencing and found Smoc1 and Smoc2 upregulation by Runx2. Smoc1 or Smoc2 knockdown inhibited osteoblastogenesis. Smoc1 KO mice displayed no fibula formation, while Smoc2 KO mice had mild craniofacial phenotypes. Surprisingly, Smoc1 and Smoc2 double KO (DKO) mice manifested no skull, shortened tibiae, and no fibulae. Endochondral bone formation was also impaired at the late stage in the DKO mice. Collectively, these results suggest that Smoc1 and Smoc2 function as novel targets for Runx2, and play important roles in intramembranous and endochondral bone formation.
