Insulin‐like growth factor‐I increases bone sialoprotein (BSP) expression through fibroblast growth factor‐2 response element and homeodomain protein‐binding site in the proximal promoter of the BSP gene
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) promotes bone formation by stimulating proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Bone sialoprotein (BSP), is thought to function in the initial mineralization of bone, is selectively expressed by differentiated osteoblast. To determine the molecular mechanism of IGF-I regulation of osteogenesis, we analyzed the effects of IGF-I on the expression of BSP in osteoblast-like Saos2 and in rat stromal bone marrow (RBMC-D8) cells. IGF-I (50 ng/ml) increased BSP mRNA levels at 12 h in Saos2 cells. In RBMC-D8 cells, IGF-I increased BSP mRNA levels at 3 h. From transient transfection assays, a twofold increase in transcription by IGF-I was observed at 12 h in pLUC3 construct that included the promoter sequence from -116 to +60. Effect of IGF-I was abrogated by 2-bp mutations in either the FGF2 response element (FRE) or homeodomain protein-binding site (HOX). Gel shift analyses showed that IGF-I increased binding of nuclear proteins to the FRE and HOX elements. Notably, the HOX-protein complex was supershifted by Smad1 antibody, while the FRE-protein complex was shifted by Smad1 and Cbfa1 antibodies. Dlx2 and Dlx5 antibodies disrupted the formation of the FRE- and HOX-protein complexes. The IGF-I effects on the formation of FRE-protein complexes were abolished by tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A (HA), PI3-kinase/Akt inhibitor LY249002, and MAP kinase kinase inhibitor U0126, while IGF-I effects on HOX-protein complexes were abolished by HA and LY249002. These studies demonstrate that IGF-I stimulates BSP transcription by targeting the FRE and HOX elements in the proximal promoter of BSP gene.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
