Outline of Final Research Achievements

CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β(C/EBPβ) could play crucial roles on cellular differentiation and functional maintenance in various types of somatic cells. Granulocyte production increases in response to increased neutrophil demand following infectious stress. In this study, we investigated the role of C/EBPβ at hematopoietic stem cell levels in stress-induced granulopoiesis. C/EBPβ was upregulated at the protein level in all the five distinct subpopulations of granulopoiesis in a mouse candidemia model. Using a C/EBPβ knockout mouse model, the role of C/EBPβ in cell cycle acceleration and proliferation of hematopoietic stem/progenitors was also confirmed. These data suggest that C/EBPβ is a significant controlling factor involved in the efficient amplification of early granulocyte precursors during emergency granulopoiesis.
