Whole genome expression data comparison between WT and Cebpg-/- MEFs.

ABSTRACT: C/EBPβ is an important regulator of oncogene-induced senescence (OIS). Here we show that C/EBPγ, a heterodimeric partner of C/EBPβ whose biological functions are not well understood, inhibits cellular senescence. Cebpg-/- MEFs proliferated poorly, entered senescence prematurely, and expressed a pro-inflammatory gene signature, including elevated levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) genes whose induction by oncogenic stress requires C/EBPβ. The senescence-suppressing activity of C/EBPγ required its ability to heterodimerize with C/EBPβ. Covalently linked C/EBPβ homodimers (β~β) inhibited the proliferation and tumorigenicity of RasV12-transformed NIH3T3 cells, activated SASP gene expression, and recruited the CBP co-activator in a Ras-dependent manner, whereas
