Received 14 January 2009 revised 13 February 2009 accepted 18 February 2009 doi Activating enhancer-binding protein AP -2e was previously described as a new regulator of integrin a10 expression in cartilage. In this study we analyzed the expression of AP-2e in differentiated chondrocytes and in human mesenchymal stem cells HMSCs which have been differentiated into chondrocytes in vitro. AP-2e is predominantly expressed during the late stages of chondrocyte differentiation mainly in early hypertrophic cartilage consistent with immunohistochemical stainings of mouse embryo sections. Furthermore osteoarthritic chondrocytes resembling a hypertrophic phenotype have high AP-2e levels. The AP-2e promoter harbors binding sites for the transcription factors AP-2a and Sox9. Both transcription factors strongly activate AP-2e expression in a cooperative manner in the chondrosarcoma cell line SW1353. The inhibition of Sox9 expression by small interfering RNA resulted in decreased AP-2e expression. In addition direct interaction of Sox9 with the AP-2e promoter could be confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation and electromobility shift assays. This is the first study to prove the direct regulation of AP-2e by the transcription factor Sox9 and to indicate that AP-2e potentially has an important role as a .
