C/EBP alpha and PU.1 are key regulators of early myeloid development. Mice lacking C/EBP alpha or PU.1 have reduced granulocytes and monocytes. Consistent with a model in which induction of PU.1 by C/EBP alpha contributes to monocyte lineage specification, mice with reduced PU.1 have diminished monocytes but retain granulocytes, C/EBP alpha directly activates PU.1 gene transcription, and exogenous C/EBP alpha increases monocytic lineage commitment from bipotential myeloid progenitors. In addition to C/EBP alpha, AP-1 proteins also have the capacity to induce Monocytic maturation. C/EBP alpha:c-Jun or C/EBP alpha:c-Fos leucine zipper heterodimers induce monopoiesis more potently than C/EBP alpha or c-Jun homodimers or c-Fos:c-Jun heterodimers. C/EBPs and NF-kappa B cooperatively regulate numerous genes during the inflammatory response. The C/EBPa basic region interacts with NF-kappa B p50, but not p65, to induce bcl-2, and this interaction may be relevant to myeloid cell survival and development. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
