Observations
Loss of C/EBP-beta (CEBPB) expression prevented growth arrest following androgen deprivation or anti-androgen challenge. Suppression of C/EBP-beta under low androgen conditions resulted in reduced expression of SASP genes, a decrease in SA-heterochromatin foci and increased numbers of Ki67-positive cells. Prostate cancer cells expressing C/EBP-beta exhibited morphological changes, reduced cell growth and increased senescence. It was also found that senescence contributed to cell survival under androgen deprivation, and C/EBP-beta-deficient cells were significantly more susceptible to killing by cytotoxic chemotherapy following androgen deprivation.

    Description
    This intronless gene encodes a transcription factor that contains a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain. The encoded protein functions as a homodimer but can also form heterodimers with CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins alpha, delta, and gamma. Activity of this protein is important in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses, among other processes. The use of alternative in-frame AUG start codons results in multiple protein isoforms, each with distinct biological functions. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]
