Schematic mechanism by which Olfm2 regulates SM marker gene transcription. On TGF-β stimulation, Olfm2 is induced by Smad2/3 and then translocated into nuclei of progenitor cells, where it binds to SRF, causing SRF dissociation from HERP1. Olfm2 then facilitates and even promotes SRF binding to CArG box in the SM gene promoter, resulting in increased transcriptional activation of SM markers.
