HEMATOPOIESIS

region

Monocytic differentiation of 32DPKC cells in response to
activation of protein kinase C (PKC ) by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) was inhibited by exogenous CCAAT/enhancer
binding protein -estradiol receptor (C/EBP -ER), which
impeded morphologic maturation and induction of macrosialin mRNA.
Inhibition of monopoiesis was also evident in 32DPKC subclones
expressing C/EBP Leu12Val-ER, which cannot dimerize or bind
DNA because of mutation of the leucine zipper, C/EBP GZ-ER, in which
the leucine zipper has been replaced by the GCN4 zipper, or
C/EBP 3-8-ER, lacking the C/EBP transactivation domains. In
contrast, C/EBP BR3-ER, containing a mutant basic region, did not
inhibit monocytic differentiation. C/EBP -ER strongly inhibited
endogenous AP-1 DNA-binding. Supershift analysis revealed that the
major AP-1 complex contains JunB. Activation of C/EBP -ER specifically reduced endogenous JunB RNA and protein and exogenous JunB
levels without affecting endogenous or exogenous c-Jun. The stability
of PMA-induced JunB was not affected. Thus, C/EBP -ER suppresses both
JunB transcription and posttranscriptional protein generation or
induction. PU.1 levels and activity were increased. The Leu12Val, GZ,
and 3-8 mutants also inhibited JunB expression, whereas the BR3
mutant was ineffective, indicating that inhibition of JunB expression
and monocytic differentiation by C/EBP -ER depends upon an
interaction mediated by its basic region. Exogenous JunB restored AP-1
DNA-binding but did not prevent inhibition of macrosialin expression by
C/EBP -ER, indicating that JunB is not the only target relevant to
inhibition of monopoiesis by C/EBP .
