Summary
ASPN (asporin, HGNC:14872) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9q22.31, encoding Asporin (Q9BXN1). Negatively regulates periodontal ligament (PDL) differentiation and mineralization to ensure that the PDL is not ossified and to maintain homeostasis of the tooth-supporting system.
This gene encodes a cartilage extracellular protein that is member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family. The encoded protein may regulate chondrogenesis by inhibiting transforming growth factor-beta 1-induced gene expression in cartilage. This protein also binds collagen and calcium and may induce collagen mineralization. Polymorphisms in the aspartic acid repeat region of this gene are associated with a susceptibility to osteoarthritis, and also with intervertebral disc disease. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Negatively regulates periodontal ligament (PDL) differentiation and mineralization to ensure that the PDL is not ossified and to maintain homeostasis of the tooth-supporting system. Inhibits BMP2-induced cytodifferentiation of PDL cells by preventing its binding to BMPR1B/BMP type-1B receptor, resulting in inhibition of BMP-dependent activation of SMAD proteins. Critical regulator of TGF-beta in articular cartilage and plays an essential role in cartilage homeostasis and osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. Negatively regulates chondrogenesis in the articular cartilage by blocking the TGF-beta/receptor interaction on the cell surface and inhibiting the canonical TGF-beta/Smad signal. Binds calcium and plays a role in osteoblast-driven collagen biomineralization activity.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with TGFB1, TGFB2 and TGFB3. DCN, BGN, and FMOD inhibit binding to TGFB1. Interacts with BMP2. Interacts in vitro with type II collagen. Interacts with type I collagen. DCN can inhibit collagen binding.
Subcellular location. Secreted. Extracellular space. Extracellular matrix.
Tissue specificity. Higher levels in osteoarthritic articular cartilage, aorta, uterus. Moderate expression in small intestine, heart, liver, bladder, ovary, stomach, and in the adrenal, thyroid, and mammary glands. Low expression in trachea, bone marrow, and lung. Colocalizes with TGFB1 in chondrocytes within osteoarthritic (OA) lesions of articular cartilage.
Post-translational modifications. There is no serine/glycine dipeptide sequence expected for the attachment of O-linked glycosaminoglycans and this is probably not a proteoglycan. The O-linked polysaccharide on 54-Ser is probably the mucin type linked to GalNAc. The N-linked glycan at Asn-282 is composed of variable structures of GlcNAc, mannose, fucose, HexNAc and hexose.
Disease relevance. Osteoarthritis 3 (OS3) [MIM:607850] A degenerative disease of the joints characterized by degradation of the hyaline articular cartilage and remodeling of the subchondral bone with sclerosis. Clinical symptoms include pain and joint stiffness often leading to significant disability and joint replacement. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Susceptibility to osteoarthritis is conferred by a triplet repeat expansion polymorphism. ASPN allele having 14 aspartic acid repeats in the N-terminal region of the protein (D14), is overrepresented relative to the common allele having 13 aspartic acid repeats (D13). The frequency of the D14 allele increases with disease severity. The D14 allele is also overrepresented in individuals with hip osteoarthritis. Intervertebral disc disease (IDD) [MIM:603932] A common musculo-skeletal disorder caused by degeneration of intervertebral disks of the lumbar spine. It results in low-back pain and unilateral leg pain. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Susceptibility to intervertebral disk disease, particularly lumbar disk degeneration, is conferred by a triplet repeat expansion polymorphism. ASPN allele having 14 aspartic acid repeats in the N-terminal region of the protein (D14), is associated with the disorder in some populations.
Domain organisation. The LRR 5 repeat can inhibit BMP2-induced cytodifferentiation and may be involved in the interaction with BMP2. The repeats LRR 10, LRR 11 and LRR 12 are involved in binding type I collagen. The poly-Asp region is involved in binding calcium.
Induction. By TGFB1.
Polymorphism. The poly-Asp region of ASPN is polymorphic and ranges at least from 11 to 17 Asp.
Similarity. Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class I subfamily.
