The lymphoid-myeloid transdifferentiation potentials of members of the C/EBP family (C/EBPα, β, δ, and ε) were compared in v-Abl-immortalized primary B cells. Conversion of B cells to macrophages was readily induced by the ectopic expression of any C/EBP, and enhanced by endogenous C/EBPα and β activation. High transgene expression of C/EBPβ or C/EBPε, but not of C/EBPα or C/EBPδ, also induced the formation of granulocytes. Granulocytes and macrophages emerged in a mutually exclusive manner. C/EBPβ-expressing B cells produced granulocyte-macrophage progenitor (GMP)-like progenitors when subjected to selective pressure to eliminate lymphoid cells. The GMP-like progenitors remained self-renewing and cytokine-independent, and continuously produced macrophages and granulocytes. In addition to their suitability to study myelomonocytic lineage bifurcation, lineage-switched GMP-like progenitors could reflect the features of the lympho-myeloid lineage switch observed in leukemic progression. Transactivating C/EBP family members transdifferentiate B cells to myeloid cells C/EBPβ or C/EBPε transdifferentiate B cells to macrophages and granulocytes Transgene dosage determines granulocyte versus macrophage cell-type outcome C/EBP-mediated B cell conversion elicits GMP-like potential In this article, Leutz and colleagues assessed the transdifferentiation potential of four C/EBP transcription factors in B cells. C/EBPβ and C/EBPε stimulated the formation of macrophage and granulocyte-like cells. Transdifferentiation involved endogenous C/EBP activation. High transgene dosage promoted granulocyte versus macrophage outcome. C/EBPβ also elicited a stable GMP-like phenotype that could serve as a model to study cell-fate decision.
