MeSH headings : Animals; CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein-alpha / analysis; CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein-alpha / physiology; Carcinoma, Squamous Cell / chemistry; Carcinoma, Squamous Cell / etiology; Cell Cycle; Cells, Cultured; Genes, p53; Humans; Keratosis, Actinic / metabolism; Male; Mice; Mice, Hairless; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Mutation; Neoplasms, Radiation-Induced / etiology; Precancerous Conditions / chemistry; Skin / metabolism; Skin / radiation effects; Skin Neoplasms / chemistry; Skin Neoplasms / etiology; Ultraviolet Rays / adverse effects
TL;DR: It is observed that C/EBPα is induced in normal human epidermal keratinocytes and in the epidermis of human subjects exposed to UVB radiation, and loss of C/ EBPα confers susceptibility toUVB-induced skin SCCs involving defective cell cycle arrest in response to UVBs. (via Semantic Scholar)

C/EBP alpha and C/EBP beta Are Required for Sebocyte Differentiation and Stratified Squamous Differentiation in Adult Mouse Skin

PLOS ONE, 5(3).

By: J. House n , S. Zhu n, R. Ranjan n, K. Linder n & R. Smart n 

Contributors: J. House n , S. Zhu n, R. Ranjan n, K. Linder n & R. Smart n 

MeSH headings : Animals; CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein-alpha / physiology; CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein-beta / physiology; Cell Cycle; Cell Differentiation; Cell Proliferation; Epithelial Cells / cytology; Gene Expression Regulation; Genotype; Homozygote; Immunoblotting; Immunohistochemistry / methods; Keratinocytes / cytology; Mice; Sebaceous Glands / cytology; Skin / cytology
TL;DR: Results indicate that in adult mouse skin, C/EBPα and C-EBPβ are critically involved in regulating sebocyte differentiation and epidermal homeostasis involving the basal to spinous keratinocyte transition and basal cell cycle withdrawal. (via Semantic Scholar)

2009 journal article

C/EBP alpha expression is partially regulated by C/EBP beta in response to DNA damage and C/EBP alpha-deficient fibroblasts display an impaired G(1) checkpoint

ONCOGENE, 28(36), 3235–3245.

By: R. Ranjan n, E. Thompson n, K. Yoon* & R. Smart n 

author keywords: C/EBP; DNA damage response; G(1)/S transition; p53
MeSH headings : Animals; Blotting, Western; CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein-alpha / genetics; CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein-alpha / metabolism; CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein-beta / genetics; CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein-beta / metabolism; DNA Damage; Female; Fibroblasts / drug effects; Fibroblasts / metabolism; Fibroblasts / radiation effects; Flow Cytometry; G1 Phase; Gene Expression; Male; Methylnitronitrosoguanidine / toxicity; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Mice, Inbred Strains; Mice, Knockout; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction; S Phase; Time Factors; Ultraviolet Rays
TL;DR: This study shows a novel function for C/EBPβ in the regulation of C/N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine-treated fibroblasts and provides definitive genetic evidence that C-EBPα has a critical role in the DNA damage G1 checkpoint. (via Semantic Scholar)
