CEBPE is expressed exclusively in myeloid progenitor cells and is required for terminal differentiation of granulocyte precursors. Transcription of CEBPE is activated by at least 3 mechanisms:
1) CEBPA dimers bound to the promoter of CEBPE (Yamanaka et al. 1997, Matusushita et al. 2008, Loke et al. 2018, and inferred from mouse homologs),
2) SPI1 (PU.1), PML. and EP300 bound to the promoter of CEBPE (Yoshida et al. 2007), and
3) retinoic acid activation of the RARA:RXR retinoic acid receptor bound to the CEBPE promoter (Park et al. 1999, Verbeek et al. 1999, Cai et al. 2010, Iriyama et al. 2014). Activation of CEBPE by retinoic acid is believed to ameliorate some cases of leukemia (Park et al. 1999).
