Collagen-derived dipeptide prolyl-hydroxyproline (Pro-Hyp) directly binds to the forkhead box g1 (Foxg1) protein and causes it to undergo structural alteration. Pro-Hyp also promotes the production of a regulator of osteoblast differentiation, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), through Foxg1, inducing osteoblast differentiation. In addition, Pro-Hyp disrupts the interaction between Foxg1 and Runx2, and Foxg1 appears to interact with Runx2 in the absence of Pro-Hyp. To elucidate the mechanism of Pro-Hyp that promotes osteoblast differentiation, we investigated whether Pro-Hyp regulates the Runx2 P1 promoter together with Foxg1. The present study revealed that Pro-Hyp is taken up by osteoblastic cells via the solute carrier family 15 member (Slc15a) 4. In the presence of Pro-Hyp, Runx2 is translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and Foxg1 is translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. We also found that Pro-Hyp promoted the interaction between Forkhead box o1 (Foxo1) and Runx2 and the dissociation of Foxg1 from Runx2. Moreover, we identified the Pro-Hyp response element in the Runx2 distal P1 promoter at nt -375 to -316, including the Runx2 binding sites and Fox core sequence. In the presence of Pro-Hyp, Runx2 is dissociated from the Pro-Hyp response element in the Runx2 distal P1 promoter. Subsequently, Foxg1 and Foxo1 activated the Runx2 promoter by binding to the Pro-Hyp response element. In summary, we delineated the mechanism by which Pro-Hyp stimulates the bone-related Runx2 distal P1 promoter activity in osteoblastic cells through Foxg1, Foxo1, and Runx2.
