Reciprocal regulation of PPARγ and RUNX2 activities in marrow mesenchymal stem cells: Fine balance between p38 MAPK and Protein Phosphatase 5.

Purpose of review: Post-translational modifications (PTMs), specifically serine phosphorylation, are essential for determination and tuning up an activity of many proteins, including those that are involved in the control of gene transcription. Transcription factors PPARγ2 and RUNX2 are essential for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) commitment to either adipocyte or osteoblast lineage. This review is summarizing current knowledge how serine phosphorylation PTMs regulate activities of both transcription factors and MSCs lineage commitment.

Recent finding: Both PPARγ2 and RUNX2 transcriptional activities are regulated by similar PTMs, however with an opposite outcome. The same p38 MAPK mediates serine phosphorylation that leads to activation of RUNX2 and inactivation of PPARγ2. The process of protein phosphorylation is balanced with a process of protein dephosphorylation. Protein phosphatase 5 simultaneously dephosphorylates both proteins, which results in activation of PPARγ2 and inactivation of RUNX2.

Summary: This review provides a summary of the "yinyang" fine-tuned mechanism by which p38 MAPK and PP5 regulate MSCs lineage commitment.
