Disease relevance of CEBPA

  • Favorable prognostic significance of CEBPA mutations in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia: a study from the Acute Leukemia French Association (ALFA) [1].
  • These results identify CEBPA as a key target of the leukemic fusion protein AME and suggest that modulation of CEBPA by CRT may represent a mechanism involved in the differentiation block in AME leukemias [2].
  • Recently, several works have reported the presence of CEBPA-acquired mutations in hematological malignancies [3].
  • Overexpression of CEBPA resulting from the translocation t(14;19)(q32;q13) of human precursor B acute lymphoblastic leukemia [4].
  • Mutations of the myeloid transcription factor CEBPA are not associated with the blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukaemia [5].
  • In concordance with these results, CDDO induces a CEBPA ratio change and differentiation of primary blasts from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) [6].
 

High impact information on CEBPA

  • Dominant-negative mutations of CEBPA, encoding CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-alpha (C/EBPalpha), in acute myeloid leukemia [7].
  • Conditional expression of C/EBPalpha triggers neutrophilic differentiation, and no mature granulocytes are observed in Cebpa-mutant mice [7].
  • In addition, we detected no differences in CEBPA mRNA levels in leukemic blasts of patients carrying the AME translocation (n = 8) compared to acute myeloid leukemia patients with a normal karyotype (n = 9) [2].
  • A recurrent in-frame insertion in a CEBPA transactivation domain is a polymorphism rather than a mutation that does not affect gene expression profiling-based clustering of AML [8].
  • The CEBPA protein is known to regulate the balance between cell proliferation and differentiation during early hematopoietic development and myeloid differentiation [4].
 

Biological context of CEBPA

  • CEBPA mutations were present only in patients belonging to the intermediate cytogenetic risk subgroup and associated with the FAB-M1 subtype (P =.02) [1].
  • PURPOSE: To assess the prognostic relevance of mutations in the CEBPA gene encoding CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBP alpha) in a large prospective series of younger adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and normal cytogenetics [9].
  • The leukemic fusion gene AML1-MDS1-EVI1 suppresses CEBPA in acute myeloid leukemia by activation of Calreticulin [2].
  • Systematic analysis of CEBPA mutations, in addition to that of alterations in master genes of hematopoiesis, may be useful to assess the prognosis of AML particularly in patients belonging to the 'intermediate' prognostic subgroup [3].
  • The CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-alpha (CEBPA) is a transcription factor strongly implicated in myelopoiesis through control of proliferation and differentiation of myeloid progenitors [3].
 

Anatomical context of CEBPA

  • Here, we found that conditional expression of core-binding factor beta (CBFB)-SMMHC in U937 cells suppresses CEBPA protein expression and binding activity [10].
  • The transcription factor C/EBPalpha (for CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-alpha; encoded by the gene CEBPA) is crucial for the differentiation of granulocytes [7].
  • Furthermore, we observed that calreticulin (CRT), a putative inhibitor of CEBPA translation, was strongly activated after induction of AME in the cell-line system (14.8-fold) and in AME patient samples (12.2-fold) [2].
  • NPM mutations were detected in 47% of patients and were associated with a high white blood cell count, involvement of the monocytic lineage (M4/M5), and a decreased prevalence of CEBPA mutations [11].
  • We report that CEBPA is activated by juxtaposition to the immunoglobulin gene enhancer upon its rearrangement with the immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus in precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia harboring t(14;19)(q32;q13) [4].
 

Associations of CEBPA with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of CEBPA

 

Regulatory relationships of CEBPA

 

Other interactions of CEBPA

  • Inhibition of calreticulin by siRNA restored CEBPA levels [10].
  • FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) was found in 5 of 15 CEBPA-mutated as compared with 30 of 119 CEBPA-nonmutated cases tested (P =.54) [1].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of CEBPA mutations, FLT3-ITD, and BAALC expression permits to split normal-karyotype AML into clinically distinct subgroups [20].
  • CEBPA, PAX5 and PU1 were negative for all cell lines tested except in the three positive BCP-cell lines [21].
  • NPM1 mutations associate inversely with the occurrence of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-alpha (CEBPA) and NRAS mutations [22].
