Transcriptional activation of histone H4 by C/EBPβ during the mitotic clonal expansion of 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation

Histone H4 is activated by C/EBPβ in mitotic clonal expansion during adipogenesis. C/EBP-binding sites are identified in histone H4 promoters, and H4 expression is suppressed when C/EBPβ is knocked down or its DNA-binding activity is inhibited by A-C/EBP. These results help in our understanding of how C/EBPβ plays important roles in the proliferation of other cells.
