C/EBP Bypasses Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor Signals to
Rapidly Induce PU.1 Gene Expression, Stimulate Granulocytic
Differentiation, and Limit Proliferation in 32D cl3 Myeloblasts

Angeles, CA.
Within hematopoiesis, C/EBP is expressed only in myeloid cells,
and PU.1 is expressed mainly in myeloid and B-lymphoid cells. C/EBP -deficient mice lack the neutrophil lineage and retain
monocytes, whereas PU.1-deficient mice lack monocytes and have severely
reduced neutrophils. We expressed a C/EBP -estrogen receptor
ligand-binding domain fusion protein, C/EBP WT-ER, in 32D cl3
myeloblasts. 32D cl3 cells proliferate in interleukin-3 (IL-3) and
differentiate to neutrophils in granulocyte colony-stimulating factor
(G-CSF). In the presence of estradiol, C/EBP WT-ER induced
morphologic differentiation and the expression of the myeloperoxidase,
lactoferrin, and G-CSF receptor mRNAs. C/EBP WT-ER also induced a
G1/S cell cycle block, with induction of p27 and Rb
hypophosphorylation. bcr-ablp210 prevented 32D cl3 cell
differentiation. Activation of C/EBP -ER in
32D-bcr-ablp210 or Ba/F3 B-lymphoid cells induced cell
cycle arrest independent of terminal differentiation. C/EBP WT-ER
induced endogenous PU.1 mRNA within 8 hours in both 32D cl3 and Ba/F3
cells, even in the presence of cycloheximide, indicating that C/EBP
directly activates the PU.1 gene. However, activation of a PU.1-ER
fusion protein in 32D cl3 cells induced myeloperoxidase (MPO) RNA but
not terminal differentiation. Thus, C/EBP acts downstream of G-CSF
and upstream of PU.1, p27, and potentially other factors to induce
myeloblasts to undergo granulocytic differentiation and cell cycle arrest.
