title: [The effect of core binding factor alpha1 on transcriptional regulation of mouse dentin sialophosphoprotein].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of core binding factor alpha1 (cbfalpha1) on transcriptional regulation of mouse dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) gene.
  
  
  METHODS
  The MDPC-23 cells and the segment of nt -2475bp to +53bp were chosen. After co-transfected, the MDPC-23 cells were measured for luciferase activity using the dual luciferase reporter assay system. The results were analyzed by SPSS10.0 software package.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In MDPC-23 cells, the luciferase activity was significantly low in the group of co-transfected with pGL3-Enhancer-2.6K and pcDNA3-cbalpha1 than the group of pGL3-Enhancer-2.6K and pcDNA3 (P < 0.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Cbfalpha1 can reduce the activity of DSPP promoter including the segment of nt-2475bp to +53bp in MDPC-23 cells. This suggests that cbfalpha1 can transcriptionally regulate the expression of DSPP. Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No.30271418).
