Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | multiple myeloma |
| ICD-0-3 | C42.1 |
| Methods | qPCR, RNAi, Lentiviral infection, Western blot etc. |
| Sample | bone marrow |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | We observed that MEG3 knockdown significantly reduced the expression of key osteogenic markers, including Runt-related transcription factor 2, osterix, and osteocalcin, while overexpression of MEG3 enhanced their expression. Additionally, MEG3 knockdown decreased BMP4 transcription. Here we showed that MEG3 was critical for SOX2 transcriptional repression of the BMP4. MEG3, which is located near the BMP4 gene, could dissociate the transcription factor SOX2 from the BMP4 promoter. A stable complex containing the MEG3, SOX2, and the SOX2 consensus site of BMP4 suggested that MEG3 activated transcriptional activity by directly influencing SOX2 activity. |
