In acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), the translocation t(15;17) induces a block at the promyelocytic stage of differentiation in an all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA)-responsive manner. Here we report that upon treatment with ATRA, t(15;17) cells (NB4) reveal a very rapid increase in protein level and binding activity of C/EBPbeta, a C/EBP family member, which was not observed in an ATRA-resistant NB4 cell line. We further provide evidence that ATRA mediates a direct increase of C/EBPbeta, only in ...[more]
