RESUMO
Wnt11 signals through both canonical (β-catenin) and non-canonical pathways and is up-regulated during osteoblast differentiation and fracture healing. In these studies, we evaluated the role of Wnt11 during osteoblastogenesis. Wnt11 overexpression in MC3T3E1 pre-osteoblasts increases β-catenin accumulation and promotes bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-induced expression of alkaline phosphatase and mineralization. Wnt11 dramatically increases expression of the osteoblast-associated genes Dmp1 (dentin matrix protein 1), Phex (phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog), and Bsp (bone sialoprotein). Wnt11 also increases expression of Rspo2 (R-spondin 2), a secreted factor known to enhance Wnt signaling. Overexpression of Rspo2 is sufficient for increasing Dmp1, Phex, and Bsp expression and promotes bone morphogenetic protein-induced mineralization. Knockdown of Rspo2 abrogates Wnt11-mediated osteoblast maturation. Antagonism of T-cell factor (Tcf)/β-catenin signaling with dominant negative Tcf blocks Wnt11-mediated expression of Dmp1, Phex, and Rspo2 and decreases mineralization. However, dominant negative Tcf fails to block the osteogenic effects of Rspo2 overexpression. These studies show that Wnt11 signals through β-catenin, activating Rspo2 expression, which is then required for Wnt11-mediated osteoblast maturation.
