Specific Differentiation

Bone formation is a carefully controlled developmental process involving morphogen-mediated patterning signals that define areas of initial mesenchyme condensation followed by induction of cell-specific differentiation programs to produce chondrocytes and osteoblasts. Positional information is conveyed via gradients of molecules, such as Sonic Hedgehog that are released from cells within a particular morphogenic field together with region-specific patterns of hox gene expression. These, in turn, regulate the localized production of bone morphogenetic proteins and related molecules which initiate chondrocyte- and osteoblast-specific differentiation programs. Differentiation requires the initial commitment of mesenchymal stem cells to a given lineage, followed by induction of tissue-specific patterns of gene expression. Considerable information about the control of osteoblast-specific gene expression has come from analysis of the promoter regions of genes encoding proteins like osteocalcin that are selectively expressed in bone. Both general and tissue-specific transcription factors control this promoter. Osf2/Cbfal, the first osteoblast-specific transcription factor to be identified, is expressed early in the osteoblast lineage and interacts with specific DNA sequences in the osteocalcin promoter essential for its selective expression in osteoblasts. The OSF2/CBFA1 gene is necessary for the development of mineralized tissues, and its mutation causes the human disease, cleidocranial dysplasia. Committed osteoprogenitor cells already expressing Osf2/Cbfa1 must synthesize a collagenous ECM before they will differentiate. A ceII:ECM interaction mediated by integrin-type cell-surface receptors is essential for the induction of osteocalcin and other osteoblast-related proteins. This interaction stimulates the binding of Osf2/Cbfa 1 to the osteocalcin promoter through an as-yet-undefined mechanism.

Hematopoiesis is an extensively studied model system for cell differentiation. Cell-type-specific gene expression patterns are observed during hematopoiesis. Gene expression is governed by regulatory networks composed of cell-type-specific transcription factors. Resolving the transcriptional regulatory network for cell-type-specific gene expression provides a promising means of understanding the mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions. In this study, transcriptional regulatory networks in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells were predicted based on gene expression profiles and distributions of transcription factor binding motifs in the promoter regions of cell-type-specific transcription factors. In particular, structural changes that occur when pluripotent stem cells progress to lineage-committed progenitors were evaluated. Marked changes in the regulatory circuit of transcription throughout the differentiation process could be elucidated by network analysis. Modular structures were a frequently described feature of biological networks observed in estimated networks. Within a module, most transcription factors were found to be regulated by a small number of regulators acting as downstream targets. Certain regulators within these modules coincide with known key regulators of hematopoietic cell differentiation. In addition to the modular structure, a twolayered structure was clearly observed in progenitor regulatory networks. Transcription factors could be distinctly divided into regulators within the regulatory layer and into targets in the output layer according to their degree of distribution. The restriction of mutual regulation between transcription factors was remarkable in that it allowed for alterations in network structures between hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors. Thus, using this approach, the relationships among transcription factors could be revealed by a reduction in mutual regulation to form a modular structure within the regulatory network
