C/EBP α p30, a myeloid leukemia oncoprotein, limits G-CSF receptor expression but not terminal granulopoiesis via site-selective inhibition of C/EBP DNA binding
ONCOGENE(2004)
摘要
Heterozygous mutations of the CEBPA gene are present in 5% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases and often lead to the expression of an N-terminally truncated, 30 kDa isoform, C/EBP α p30, from an internal translation start site. We have assessed the effect of C/EBP α p30 on granulopoiesis utilizing C/EBP α p30-ER, containing the estradiol receptor ligand-binding domain. In contrast to C/EBP α -ER, C/EBP α p30-ER did not induce 32Dcl3 myeloid cell differentiation in IL-3. However, both isoforms, when expressed at high levels, were capable of inhibiting E2F activity in 32Dcl3 cells and of slowing their G1 to S progression. C/EBP α p30 repressed expression of the endogenous G-CSF receptor several-fold. To facilitate investigation of the effect of C/EBP α p30-ER on granulopoiesis downstream of G-CSF signalling, we coexpressed exogenous G-CSF receptor. C/EBP α p30-ER/GR cells expressed several granulocytic markers in G-CSF and demonstrated nuclear maturation. Rat C/EBP α -ER and C/EBP α p30-ER, expressed in 293T cells, bound the C/EBP site from the NE gene with similar affinity, as did human C/EBP α and C/EBP α p30. In contrast, C/EBP α p30 bound the C/EBP sites in the PU.1 or GR gene with 3–6-fold reduced affinity. Thus, the selective inhibition of GR expression by C/EBP α p30-ER is due in part to its variable affinity for C/EBP sites. Variation in affinity for selected cis elements among isoforms may affect the biology of basic region-leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins.
